Bullshit. You can easily get a battery for less than $25,000. The Tesla model 3 is a 50KWh pack and is $14000 to replace and likely costs way less to make.

If you were really skilled you could buy 50KWh worth of cells for less than $10000.

The reason the batteries are more is because you have SUVs and Trucks that need twice the amount of cells for about the same range because they’re not aerodynamic

I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.

Decades is far from infinite

Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.

Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.

Hydrogen was as good as dead for years because compressing it is so wasteful

I thought thunderbolt was DP passthrough as well

My first complaint with Tesla is the shit tablet for everything. I don’t want to have to look at a screen while trying to drive. Elon is a shit but every publicly traded company is going to be owned in some regard by a billionaire fascist.

I’d do it for 192 thousand.

If the company is going public it doesn’t really matter, they can just sell the stock.

They can also just refuse to do the job because it hurts the laborers that work for them. They got laborers doing this because they didn’t treat them like people. I don’t think they should expect to be treated well when they treat others poorly.

And I’m saying they need to have value other than ethics to sell new phones because used are more ethical.

Not making stuff is greener than making stuff.

That’s what my initial comment was about so if you’re this far without knowing that it’s pretty clear you’re not reading very well.

Used phones are ethically better than new phones. That’s a fact. If you buy used fairphones then that’s even better but they make such a bad product you have to buy it on ethics alone. If you’re buying on ethics then again, used is better.

You’re just spouting peak consumer copium and claiming it’s a fact.

This initialization took me way too long

I’ve listed facts here. But every time you come up with an excuse to consume more product.

It’s not like I’m recommending a specific brand and they’re actually some of the most common but you will always justify buying shit you don’t need.

You are simping for a private company that exploits labor just so you can feel better about buying another new phone instead of used.

Do they pay you to “yeah but” for them or are you just a simp?

But iPhones get long support, pixels now get 7, and S24 get 7.

Fairphone themselves even admits they can’t fix everything in production so a phone that was about to be waste is more fair.

If they built their phones in Germany or something I could accept the price but they’re made in China where labor standards aren’t exactly great.

I mostly can’t get over paying more for worse specs. It doesn’t have to feel bad now but with 8 years of support it could very easily not feel good in the future. It’s a $760 phone that benchmarks close to the Samsung A54 a $400 phone.

The selling point is the ethical value of the phone but it’ll never top how much waste buying a used phone saves.

I don’t understand how manufacturing in Korea is better than China. Hell, I’d call that pretty centralized still because it still relies on the same logistical problems.

For me the notifications were the biggest gripe.
