I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    Sounds like you didn’t watch the video

      I disagreed with the video.

      Sounds like you’re too keen to spout fallacies as if you’re in a debating match rather than engaging in a discussion.

        I’m stating my point because you contradict the video not because you don’t agree with it.

        If the lack of jack stock is a deal breaker for you, then it’s a deal breaker for you. From what I see, they still make phones that are great if not among the best performing phones out there, then they are great in other ways, as explained in the video.

          The lack of ethics and increase in waste is a deal breaker for me.

          They’re not the best performing. They’re generally slow. Other phones objectively perform better.

          Not only did the fairphone 4 ditch a feature I needed and would prevent waste in general for many.

          It also caused my housemate who owned one no end of issues with every update. Bluetooth dropouts, touchscreen glitches.

          Issues with the camera.

          Issues with the microphone

          Slow charging.

          He’s a beta tester and he’s paid a premium for it.

          Support from fairphone has basically been pathetic.

          It’s hilarious how many supporters of this company are. It must be like the phenomenon of car drivers supporting public transport. They’re hoping everyone else buys a fairphone.

          As they’re not even the most environmentally friendly phone it’s all a bit silly.

        I’m refering to the part about a phone being great on other parameters than just stuff that few users find valuable. They talked bout it when it comes to gaming.
