  • Does any of these products come from the french Guiana?

    I reckon your reasoning is very tongue in cheek. Latinoamerica has a lot of culture and products, there’s no need to stretch definitions. And, honestly, it’s a bit infuriating that people would do such thing even if it isn’t ill-intentioned because there’s a history of colonization (past) and cultural apropiation (present). For example, see the history of chocolate or where the biggest current brands reside…

    Anyway, I don’t mean to flame your contribution but had to share my honest viewpoint…

    Cheers.





  • Adding a high quality smart switch to a 5-year old battery might do some good, of course. But this is a cluster of old batteries, all in bad shape for many years of usage under different circumstances, temperatures, etc. And they’re all different models. Each battery will need a different time for going from 20 to 80%… it’s wild.

    I do this kind of risk assessment on the worst scenario, a fire could turn your home into ashes. The only option to me, being strict, would be removing those batteries (after all, your main goal is to re-use the other hardware.) But that’s only possible in a handful of phone models… it’s just unfortunate. I guess I should get a FairPhone next time!
