Back in 2014 you just bought a spare and replaced it, nowadays they all want to play the same bullshit games Apple innovated on. It was was about time an authority that ruled over a market with significant purchasing power made a decision against it.

You paid $100 for a battery replacement!?!? My Galaxy S7’s second battery cost us $12!

Wasn’t it hosted in Finland? Or have things changed?

I enjoyed helping this place grow and doing my part to discuss here but I disagree with this decision and I’m going to evaluate looking for a different home instance.
