The EU is introducing an energy label for phones, together with mandatory requirements for phones sold in the EU;

- 5 years of software updates (AFTER they stop selling the device in the EU)

- providing important hardware parts (during sale and for 7 years after), including free software (if needed), to every repair shop, within 5-10 business days

- batteries have to make 800 charging cycles and still be above 80% original capacity

And on top of that, phones and tablets need this energy label (which also includes a fall damage durability and repairability score), and abide by the above requirements, from 20 June 2025.

I just managed to get @forgejo to do reviews on Word documents of all things. Thanks to it delegating to #Git for diffs, you can just configure a "diff.<driver>.textconv" option to pipe the document into Pandoc and diff over that.

I thought that was pretty cool. Maybe someone will find this useful?

btw i'm currently looking for (remote) work within the EU! most likely as a backend or embedded software dev

i have ~6 years of professional experience in backend software, with occasional firmware dev and even hardware design (+ about as many years of hobbyist exp on top of that)

besides software i have broad knowledge covering most of STEM; any position that requires/benefits from broader knowledge would be my pref, but i'm looking for *anything* rn
