For $1700.

Translation: no

While you imply that they're not.

Framework is super tiny. They had to pick one, and only one, GPU to engineer the boards with. I also think they plan to sell maybe 10,000 of them. I doubt they can even get nvidia to call them back for an OEM batch of 4070 laptop chips at that quantity.

Put out robot bait and the follows just rack up.

If you go by that logic then there would be no second place console in the market, because every game would exclusively be on the number one console.

Walled garden captivity for any platform has always been anti consumer profiteering and was perfected in the mid 90s after the atari clones all passed into history.

Yeah, but as long as they don't buy more apple hardware it will seem regular priced to them.

Ewww, epic games spam!

I max leveled my deck and had go move over to a rog ally for more accessories and software jank battling.

It's one of the main reasons I got a clamp controller.

This reminds me of the plastics and fossil fuel industries telling consumers to recycle to fix the pollution problem.

Distributed computing for science research is like 0.01% of the wasted computing electricity while the idiocy of cryptocurrency where people literally waste electricity to create proof that their fiat imaginary coin has value to the suckers in their bigger fool scam.

Last I heard the world has a second UKs worth of burned fuel to make electricity for that ongoing scam.

I don't see myself doing anything with my s21 other than a new battery in another year.

My problem isn't necessarily the price being so high, it's that the performance is just trash for that price. The repairability for a phone in that performance class is OK. In my mind I compare it to an A6 in performance which comes with amoled screen and there's enough parts on the market to rebuild it forever. The only advantage fairphone has is that there's no glue on the back panel there's thousands of A9s already manufactured.

And the A6 costs < $100 on the used market with a new battery.

IMHO fairphone is making e-waste by making more already obsolete phones and taking advantage of people's desire to think they're saving the world by using a repairable phone when getting something of better quality/performance from the used market is actually better for the environment.

"Waaaaah, I can't play this one game because it's an Xbox exclusive." Plays the 90 Sony exclusives instead.

I do some light nuisance games on my phone, but I absolutely can tell the difference between the 888 in my phone and a 865, let alone the thing in the fairphone.

Sure, I'm spoiled, but I am not willing to give up 120hz at 120fps in my apps and instant loading in the ui nor will I ever get anything but oled again.

If you're asking for a 5+ year commitment to the device, which is kind of what this repairability thing does, you either have to be at the leading edge or have an upgrade path.

Fairphone has neither, they're starting at 2 years behind but want me to pay as if they're a modern midrange.

For me the problem is the SoC they chose was too slow to be viable in 2018, let alone today.

There aren't any US based e2e messaging or voice services as far as I know.

E2E is technically illegal for any interstate communications in the USA, since refusal to comply with a wiretap order will put you in jail for contempt, regardless of whether the medium allows for interception or not.

If they had brains they'd have stopped funding the seo abuse trash fire that the net has been for the last 10 years already. If they're still here now they're never gonna leave.

2023, the year that big tech shot it self in the face, continues.
