@Canning1452 @GrapheneOS @maumau @BryanGreyson @fairphone I'm going to wait and see what actually comes about it.

  • I just hope it isn't some glued-shut unrepairable design, but rather something that has the same connectivity & I/O options as my #FP3plus (3,5mm TRRS jack, DualSIM & microSD)...

I'd even prefer a #degoogled version of that!

@Lijo +9001%

Doof nur dass #Fairphone das nach dem #FP3plus #downgraded hat...

As much as I dunk on #Fairphone for #downgrading every device since the #FP3plus, they at least live the "#SchematicsOrDie!" principle and actually deliver #Schematics, #BoardView and #ComponentList on their website in a publicly accessible #PDF...

In all seriousness tho: they ain't perfect but the best there is in terms of "you csn buy this right now in stores" kinda brand that isn't some obsure crowdfunding thingy but has an actual track record!

  • Also shoutout to #LouisRossmann for releasing an addendum on his own...

Why I was wrong about fairphone

YouTube

@eri even for a #Laptop or #Tablet I consider the #FrameworkDesktop a total "#WontBuy!" on my end, as it has less #Upgradeability and #Repiarability than a #Lenovo #X230Tablet or #Fairphone #FP3plus, mich less anything I consider "#Desktop" hardware.

  • Seriously, @frameworkcomputer could've chosen so much better options or just done some sort of Mounting, adaptors & I/O shield to mount a #FrameworkLaptop mainboard and expand it's I/O to be on-par with a #MacMini and people would've happily accepted that.

It's really sad when #DIYperks put in more effort than an entire company at designing a Desktop!

@hikari I still rock my #Fairphone #FP3plus, but if I had to buy a new phone I'd choose the #FP5 hands-down....

@necrosis ich mag mein #FP3plus.

Dabei will ich nicht viel:

  • Kleines, aktuelles #Android (vorzugsweise ohne #Google!)
  • 3,5mm Klinkenbuchse
  • echtes #DualSIM (kein #eSIM-Müll!)
  • werkzeugfrei tauschbarer Akku
  • microSD-Slot
  • Unter € 500 Verkaufspreis

Ist das so schwer?

#Smartphones

@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.

Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

@hanabeans shit like this is why I yeeted all the #Google #Malware off my #Fairphone #FP3plus!

@joel +9001%

The only option I knew was the #Fairphone #FP3plus which was discontinued, abeit it's <$500, nit $400.

  • every device after that went more expensive AND removed features like a real #DualSIM capability (#eSIM is not a replacement for a #SIM slot!)

@intelgraphy depends...

If you feel like a #pro #Linux user, you may want to consider a @PINE64 #PinePhone...

Personally, I can recommend the #Fairphone #FP3plus...
