11:34:01 <MrMobodies> Someone asked me if I could replace a battery in a Samsng s21
11:34:13 <MrMobodies> After looking at Ifixit I don't think I want to do it:

11:34:15 <EEVBot> [url] Samsung Galaxy S21 Battery Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide | www.ifixit.com
11:34:31 <MrMobodies> They smatter GLUE all over it
11:34:43 <MrMobodies> and then they put the battery in the MIDDLE
11:35:11 <MrMobodies> So have to do a whole load of things to replace it
11:36:00 <MrMobodies> I'll just say, take it down to some Indian phone repair stall in Peterborough and they'd dissolved it for you
11:36:42 <MrMobodies> then when their battery wears down then I can source a better quality and be more interested once the glue has been melted and weakened
12:03:16 <MrMobodies> I wonder why do they feel the need to glue the back cover on
12:03:41 <MrMobodies> My Samsung J5 to replace the battery is so easy, I just take the back off and swap the battery over.

12:17:27 <MrMobodies> It doesn't seem to be as bad opening it. No I don't need to heat it up I knife around the edges without cutting cables.

12:17:41 <MrMobodies> The problem I see is the glue under that battery.
12:18:28 <MrMobodies> I was given a Nintendo and glue, I brought a small incincerator and got the owner to rip it out and that is what he did
12:18:35 <MrMobodies> when he finished the battery was bent
12:18:55 <MrMobodies> I spent about a couple of weeks apply alcohol
12:19:12 <MrMobodies> whilst the edges of the vattery loosened up the rest of solidly stuck down
12:19:48 <MrMobodies> what's the chances that could have set on fire?
13:01:25 <MrMobodies> Another Farce:
13:01:32 <MrMobodies> https://www.gov.uk/government/news/energy-bills-cut-for-communities-helping-electrify-britain
13:01:33 <EEVBot> [url] Energy bills cut for communities helping electrify Britain - GOV.UK | www.gov.uk
13:01:49 <MrMobodies> "Stakeholder reaction
13:01:49 <MrMobodies> Dhara Vyas, Chief Executive Officer of Energy UK, said:"
13:02:00 <MrMobodies> EnergyUK the people backing mandatory
13:02:21 <MrMobodies> "Much of the country’s energy infrastructure was built several decades ago and "designed for a system very different" from the one we have today -"
13:02:41 <MrMobodies> What is that suppose to mean? It is blooming electricity, from power cables.
13:02:50 <MrMobodies> am I missing something?
13:03:59 <MrMobodies> It'd under the guide of cutting energy bills and I tend to get suspicious
13:28:01 <DHess_US> Usually that means cutting the amount of energy each customer uses while charging them the same or greater.
13:38:04 <MrMobodies> Thank you
13:38:21 <MrMobodies> Paying more more more for less less less.
13:38:50 <MrMobodies> quite evident with a few water companies recently particiulary Thames
13:40:35 <MrMobodies> In 2004, had nothing against water metering, but Thames water their tone about how it "WILL" save people money, "be good for the pocket", good for the environment save the planet... etc and look at them now. Charging unmeasured rates for measured.
13:41:30 <MrMobodies> and worse with Southern water rises, by the same company The Macarie Group who owned and bankrupted Thames before selling if ott
13:43:20 <MrMobodies> There are some people who are happy to pay a flat rate for things, for simplicity, who don't want to be bothered with gaming usage to peak times especially those who work out hours it won't benefit.
13:44:56 <MrMobodies> Smart energy want people to get them to "upgrade Britain’s energy system"
13:45:44 <MrMobodies> what a load of bullsh*t. What we need is more cables run. The energy system around here is unstable. If a tree touch a pylon we get a surge ot cut.
13:45:50 <MrMobodies> and more substations
13:46:34 <MrMobodies> SmartEnergyGB are the backers of them
13:47:49 <MrMobodies> I had a 45 minute powercut last week. All because someone was cutting down there tree and it touched the pylons and one of my UPS batteries have worn down.
13:48:01 <MrMobodies> well the branches I mean
13:48:26 <MrMobodies> back at my old address they were rare, the last powercut was in 2015.
