Cannot see modules for sale in the shop which is rather strange for a modular phone. There is no details of their sourcing concerning rare earth parts . They push the recycling part real high when their documentation shows 450 Kg/year of effective recycling, where does the rest of their current devices come from? Finally They push consumerism quite far in their shop with their bundle buy our current phone and you get a free upgrade towards the next one we launch.

And what about the bikes they also make and sell? Making one type of good product in such a niche market should be focusing enough not to be distracted in making other household products with vastly different supply chains, especially when you aren't a multi-billion conglomerate.

The seizure of Russian owned assets isn't stealing as she says, it's applying the same methods as the owners of those assets have against EU and US companies since the beginning of this war. I'm pretty sure they will be compensated by that one symbolic Euro, to keep the mirror image going.

Here is the product page of the chip in Fairphone's 5th phone:

Fairphone uses Qualcomm snapdragon chips but they don't use chips made for mobile phones, it's chips for industrial use they buy, so the secure element might be missing. The reason is: they are supported for way longer which allows fairphone such long update periods. The shortlist of other phonemakers who can do the same are the ones who design their own chips: Google, Samsung, Apple.

That's a motivator right there. All those sports/learning/chores apps should have that kind of challenges.

Forgot to do the dishes? watch as NK recycles Hamas tactics. Didn't mow the lawn? See your hometown obliterated by a rogue nuke.

I found soudcore to be underwhelming as far as ANC is concerned, i had Phillips before them... I miss their ANC capability dearly!

Realisticaly, i think FSD has the potential to be level 3 officially and probably some car makers have the tech to do it too BUT in the EU, if the car has a level 3 autonomous driving, the car maker becomes legally responsible of accidents when the driving conditions are met ( most EU states limit it to highways). For the time being,only Mercedes had the courage to try it (probably because they have ample knowledge of driving assistance through their trucking production.)

Same thing with adguard-DNS: you can use their online service or download and install on your own server :opensource stuff Bitwarden password manager style.

Portal themed morality decision test meme.

So...maybe karma court can be brought from where it's dead. It made fun reading.

The other apps are not free to dev and maintain either. You got to give what you can.

A 3.5 mm AUX port on a digital only output device would need a DAC , thought I usualy only see a 3.5 mm headphone jack on those devices, rarely a 3.5 mm AUX port). Analogue capable devices sometimes had two 3.5 mm ports for ages, one for headphones using an internal amplifier (often pretty bad)and one to plug directly into an amplifier called the 3.5mm AUX. Sound wasn't preamplified before the 3.5 mm AUX plug. That caused many people to confuse 3.5 mm AUX and 3.5 mm headphone jacks and wonder why the sound was barely within hearing range. I beleive OP got confused in the nomenclature.
