From what I understand this wasn't a decision dictated by sanctions nor was there any strongarming. Otherwise it would've happend way earlier.

I also think splitting politics and literally anything else doesn't work and is something people who benefit from the discussion (or lack therof) made up.

The battery lasts about a mont in that laptop and gets worse quickly over time when not regularly charged.

I'm not sure if the short runtime is caused by the design-decision of using a rechargeable battery or a big power-draw from it.

For me this is also the first laptop that ever had an issue like that. Even my decade old thinkpad is still on its first CMOS battery.

It's a coin-cell battery. Traditionally it was used to keep the memory that stores the bios-settings and the real-time-clock powered when the PC was turned off.

By now the bios settings are stored ona different kind of memory, so it doesn't need power when turned off.

But the rtc still needs power when the laptop is off as well as other stuff (for example the circuitry that makes the power-button work)

In the framework it's also rechargeable, so you can't just swap it for a cheap one from the store once it runs out.

I have a 11th gen Intel Framework 13 running PopOS.

Everything is fine except the ~~bug~~ feature with the rechargeable CHMOS battery. On my model it only charges when the laptop is charging. (They changed that behavior in all later model afaik)

Since I use my laptop only sporadically I can't just pick it up and use it right away because that battery is always empty. When it's empty the power button doesn't work even when the main battery is fully charged.

I want it to be not there by default.

The people who want it can download it.

That's a bold move.

They'd better make sure the phone holds up and doesn't break within half a year or something.

They both implemented ways to detect each others tags and warn their users.

Afaik that's as far as it goes.

I had a motorola z3 play a few years ago.

Software quality was pretty good. Security updates were sometimes 3-4 months behind and would combine a few monts when they did get released. When I contacted them about it I was told that not all security patches google issues apply to them. I don't have a way of verifying that.

With "normal" updates to different Android versions they where also slow, but I guess that's normal with most Android vendors.

The biggest bummer with that phone was that they killed the module-feature halfway trough it's livecycle in some regions. (You could snap modules to the back that would add additional stuff like a 360° Camera or a bigger Speaker)

There is an official lineageos build for the z3 play which still gets updated I believe. Even very recent motorola phones get lineageos pretty soon after release. (Not shure tho if that includes all or just the flagships)

Oh, I see. I had it on different disks with one efi partition at the start of each. Windows didn't like that.

Why do we need 24GB of RAM in a Phone again?

[–] Dekkia@this.doesnotcut.it 10 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Windows will leave your EFi linux boot alone.

I wish that was True. Windows loves to overwrite boot partitions during major updates in my experience.

OP was asking about the Fairphone. So opening it up to fix or replace something is clearly not off the table.
