Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
Rodeo@lemmy.ca 9 months agoIf that’s the sum total of your reasons for needing a more expensive, less free, less repairable phone, then I have nothing left except to laugh at you.

No, I just don’t have the time to explain the hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody, so I chose a single, INCREDIBLY obvious item near the top of the list for most people, and was hoping that I wouldn’t get follow-up idiotic responses like this. But alas!

I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.
I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.

I never said that everybody needed a fast phone, or even that MOST people need a fast phone. I would agree that most people don’t. I was replying to somebody that said their old phone was slow, and informing them that the Fairphone is probably not a solution to that specific issue because of its budget processor. It’s not a performance phone; it’s an ethical phone that does basic things perfectly fine.
I don’t know who you’re arguing with, and I don’t think you do either.

My point is that I’m arguing with you, genius, because I think you’re wrong.
There are not a “hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody”, as you stated. There aren’t really any good reasons. Games are a stupid reason. Everything necessary works fine with an older processor. It’s not the 2000s anymore where software bogs down any computer older than three years.
