    Honestly, I think if companies were forced to deal with the electronic waste they create, they wouldn’t be so chill about bricking devices like this. I really wish there was a law that dictated any electronics you output, you are required to take back. Then maybe we wouldn’t have as many situations like this today.

      Germany has that law and it doesn’t change anything. Although part of the reason why might be that no one actually brings their devices back, instead just throwing them in the trash

        The internet memes will have me believe that Germans are super anal about making sure that trash is correctly sorted.

        Is there a bin for ewaste next to the glass, cans and plastic bins?
