The final assembly is only part of the story though. As far as I understand, fairphone does actually try to check their supply chain to ensure the raw materials are (more) ethically sourced. As opposed to those optimizing for profit, who will intentionally look the other way.

Thanks! I had noticed only 2.

Then I told my husband about your list and he was like ”that seems like splitting hairs”. Terrible.

Except the AI versions would always have too many fingers or something.

For those who understand German, I would like to leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmixpDsrKR4

Sorry everyone else.

If they handle personal data of EU citizens, they need to comply with GDPR.

Now, what’s gonna happen if they don’t? I don’t know what mechanics are in place to deal with that.

Here at least it’s more connected devices, like the emergency call option in elevators or cars. I was considering getting a used car made in 2023 with 2G/3G and just happened to learn about the shutdown in time before I sealed the deal.

But the timeline planned here in Sweden is a bit insane: only by 2026 must new car models use 4G/5G. 2027 is when they expect to fully shut down 2G. This makes no sense for devices that have a long life span.

I’m in Sweden too. I was considering buying a used car made in 2023. It uses 2G/3G. It has some connected services I actually wanted to use. And well, the ecall obviously. It’s really not an old car yet, but it becomes obsolete already.

On the manufacturer’s website they say that new car models need to have 4G/5G only by 2026. And starting 2027 all cars sold must have it. 2027 is also when they expect 2G to be fully shut down in the country. This timeline makes no sense for devices with a long life span.

In the website they also say you wouldn’t fail inspection though. But honestly I don’t care too much about that, since I actually care about ecall and some other connected services.

That’s insane.

No, but Skype allows to make calls to landlines (and mobile phones).

Wait, which car models lack that for “hazard warning lights, indicators, windshield wipers, SOS calls, and the horn”?

Don’t get me wrong, I agree these need physical buttons or similar. But everyone is celebrating as if it’s for things I’ve seen hidden behind touch or capacitive buttons in the cars I’ve driven and that really annoy me, like temperature, volume, mute, and cruise control inputs. Or have I just not driven the worst of the worst (Tesla).

Well, I have family that is old enough not to manage to use WhatsApp. They have a smartphone. WhatsApp is set up. I can never reach them on it.

I’ve been using Skype for cheaper international calls to family that still relies on phones instead of video calls etc. I’ll need to check what happens with my credit. Any recommendations for an alternative?

What movie is that?

United States of Oligarchs

That’s a bit boring though. Maybe they could put out a call for sponsors every week, the winner gets to name it. We’d get names like:

• United States of Amazon
• X
• Murica
• iMerica (designed by Apple in California, assembled in China)

Which should drive home the point.
Would also help government funding.

So, I’ve been trying to set this up with a plan to self host without public access. Just to share family pictures. But I’m cutting a lot of corners to make it work for myself and my family only, since that’s my goal.

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful!

Not saying you’re wrong, but I’m trying to be more critical online.

My boss, probably.

I let ChatGPT write it for me. The code and the test suite 💪
