Comment on Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it

Companies that use child slavery and modern slavery in their batteries holding people hostage to their decisions about your personal devices…sounds about right.

If only. My wife’s phone is affected by a Google battery recall. You basically get $50 of shut-up money and get to live with a software update that nerfs your phone to an almost unusable state, or you can try and have a local, approved repair shop replace the faulty battery.
We’re living in a large city, there is exactly one approved store available. You can’t contact them by email, no one has picked up the phone in weeks. She is close taking the $50.
