I really want to buy a Fairphone but even the new one would be a downgrade from my P7Pro at a high price.
Hoping they can make the next one a bit more competitive with current flagships.

Works fine on an 11th Gen i5. Not fast but not slow
Crazy. There are already millions of Bitcoin wallet apps for small amounts and quick transfers. And anyone smart is storing significant amounts on hardware wallets.
Release the Linux Drive app please
As a web dev we do try to accommodate userCSS for accessibility reasons but often font sizes are tuned to what they are for a reason. I'd guess there's a line height issue here.
I had a 2023 hire VW Caddy while mine was getting repaired and it had real buttons on the steering wheel thankfully. The climate control was all on a touchscreen though which was awful. At least they had a button next to the wheel that would set it to demist the windscreen (change the blowers, heat and fan to Max) so you could do that without crashing.
Was so glad to get mine back with actual controls.
There are some data centres in the UK that use the waste heat to heat the local swimming pool. Seems a good idea, we need compute and we need heat, why not do both at once?
Surely it's not too much of a stretch to have datacentres contributing to local district heating systems either?
Also no one ever mentions that the industries are building products for the public. They don't just release CO2 and use electricity for fun lol
I don't disagree with the theory but I've been getting barely a day of battery life since I started buying smartphones 15 years ago. As processor efficiencies are made, they waste all the power elsewhere.
I want to know how long a Nexus 5 would last with a modern battery and CPU and modem.
That's a shame, I get full 5g in most cities, up to 2Gbps when next to the masts, and 4G almost everywhere else populated.
For me, phones have been more than powerful enough for probably 5 years. I'm predominantly looking for battery life from my new phone, not more power. I think I'd happily use a Pixel 1 processor if it had double the battery life.
When they killed Podcasts it was the last straw for me. It was an excellent app that did what it should with a good UI: the sort of app Google don't make anymore.
I self hosted audiobookshelf and its 100x better. This then led me to self host everything else (Immich for Photos, Araa for Search, etc) and now I don't use Google services at all.
I used to be all in on everything Google but you actually got useful apps and services for your data 10 years ago, now they harvest your data and give you shit in return, and shut down anything useful so you can't rely on it.
Then they enforce the chipmakers to put backdoors in the chips themselves
