Totally agree. BUt I take to to the next level. I feel that this type of
'planned obsolescense' with electronic devices, where you can't replace
batteries, or repair as needed should be criminal.

Reading the blurbs from Canada, the mere tonage of obsolete device chargers
and cables alone is staggering.  Great to see that they are pushing for laws
to standardize all mobile devices, IOT devices and other cordless devices to
use the same USB C standard.
