Fairphone shows it's possible for companies to support devices longer than three years. Now it trickles up.

Can you easily replace the battery?

That was my first thought. How long will they support hardware repairs for?

I hope it’s equal. I also hope this starts a trend. It’s one of my too aversions to using android.

But I guess I’d be in a pixel or Samsung if I were to ever switch anyway.

Sustainable Tech

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.
