Comment on Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That)

The first step toward meaningful change begins with us. We must abandon our craving for glossy (and therefore glassy) devices, and instead embrace hardware that may not be as immediately pleasing to the eye (as it is the case with e.g. Fairphones or the PinePhone), but is built to be slightly more durable, somewhat repairable, and capable of outlasting even today’s limited commitments to software updates.
Fairphone and PinePhone being only mentioned anecdotally for being pleasing to the eye, and I guess not as sturdy as the author wants, is quite weird for an article about reducing fragility and improving repairability.

Kinda funny that they end up full of glass when for the most part everyone just bangs it in a case of some kind.
