  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • Which is alright. It's their project after all. I find myself very happy from my Murena Fairphone (except the launcher, which I hate), so I'll probably be a good Fairphone/Murena client for the years to come.

  • That's fair. We all have our needs, and I find mine in Fairphone + e/OS, which is nice. And when I upgrade, I get to give my parents an almost new, still supported phone, which is nice.

  • Low-range, yes. Mid-range, no. As soon as you get de decent quality camera, given you know how to use it, you'll always get better result than smartphones.

  • I'm not that much into photos, so I can't really judge. In my book, it is OK.

    If you want to get good pictures, nothing will ever beat a dedicated camera, even a mid-range one is way better than a smartphone, even an high-end one, due to the size limitations.

  • Some of those requirements are really hard to get for non-Google devices. EOM don't get updates as early as Google engineers gets. It takes time to validate everything, especially since their don't control their own hardware.

    Those requirements are more a way to not appear like dicks by telling that they'll only supports Pixels.

  • With unofficial parts you can get anything, from very good parts to outright dangerous ones (especially batteries).

    The problem with IPhone is their association system (which is illegal in the EU BTW). Understandable with those dangerous part on the market, but far too overcharging. They could just warn you during boot or something like that.

    As for the software wall, it is where Fairphones shines. Even when the official support ends, the custom ROMs keeps updating for a while. IPhones are great on that aspect too, Samsungs are OK, but can't say for other brands.

  • The choice of only supporting Pixels comes from GrapheneOS's side, not Fairphone. Fairphone got some great ROMs support, and even have an official partnership with one of them (e/OS).

  • First party spare parts or third party sketchy spare parts?

    Spare part availability comes partly from the popularity of a phone, and iPhones were pretty popular.Fairphone is just starting to get some steam, so third party spare part may start appearing in the future. same for used parts.

    Fairphones got a lot better lately. I got both the 4, 5, and now gen 6, and the latest one feels like a good phone, unless the FP4 which is a brick in comparison. Still lacks several Flagship feature (wireless charging, amongs other), but as a mid-range phone it is quite good.

    And the repeatability is great. I repaired my FP4 once (usb-c port), and it was easy as heck.

  • Epstein funded organisations linked to Zionist terrorism, FBI document says

  • Probably both. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was a double-agent.

  • Epstein revelations have toppled top figures in Europe while US fallout is more muted

  • There are still reliable medias that are free from billionaires. But that suppose to pay for them, because without a billionaire with an agenda to keep them afloat, who will?

    Personally, I support multiple of them (after looking into them, of course), even when not aligned with my own world views.

    You know what, let's start a community to list them all. I think this is the best way to work against the billionaire press monopoly.

  • Surprise: another narcissistic sociopath. Themself in power because if other narcissistic asshole. You can go quite far like that, but will always end up with masses that vote for parties as if they were the local baseball team.

  • But once you'll br affected by a bug you may not like it as much. I reported a bug many months ago about being unable to download or visualize image from Nextcloud, and I'm yet to see any reply on my report.

  • The elites isn't the main problem. It is that we put narcissistic sociopath in power because of our tendencies to follow the group and vote because of the party we usually vote for instead of looking at the program.

  • Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond

  • My Z2 had à drive failure recently, with 4To drives. Took me almost 3 days to re-silver the array 😅. fortunately had a hot spare setup, so it started as soon as it failed, but now a second drive is showing signs of failing soon, so I had to pay the AI tax (168€) to get one asap (arriving Monday), as well as a second one, cheaper (around 120€), but which won't arrive until the end of April.

  • A model being local doesn't make it magically better than cloud based ones. Especially since your local hardware may not be as optimized as professional hardware.

    And I say that as a local AI user.

    The way to make it less harmful mainly comes from external factors :

    • The origin of the electricity (renewable)
    • Shift consumption to a time of low demand (or use a residential battery)
    • Use specialized hardware for specific tasks (use less energy per token)

    Edit:

    I'd add to that that you can reuse the heat generated to heat your apartment. But it only works during winter, as during summer any heat generated will make your AC (if you have one) work harder.
