@luna good question, maybe the pocket knife that used to be my grandpa's?
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.

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

@marnanel the front panel pinout isn't standardized, though there is a quasi-standard that looks like this. The LEDs have polarity but they won't break if you plug them in backwards. Just see which one is on permanently (power) and which one is blinking (HDD) to determine which one is which.
@codl this is the #1 thing home assistant is amazing for
