Bring back user-removable batteries

@rq no, bring back replaceable rechargeable batteries, not the single use poison capsules

@efi@chitter.xyz That's what I mean. I don't consider batteries to be user-removable when they're attached with strong adhesive

@efi@chitter.xyz I mean like on the ThinkPad T420 you can just take out the entire battery, the laptop runs fine just off of wall power even, the battery is actually optional

I'm somewhat from the past when it comes to hardware and I recall being very unpleasantly surprised that it's NOT the norm 😲
I've attempted to remove the remove the battery from a phone with user-replacable battery to avoid its wear — only to find out that it doesn't even turn on without one, even though the charger is plugged in.
