Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years
Vrtrx@lemmy.world 10 months agoYes they are obviously not perfect but they are at least trying to change something, while the massive cooperations just dont acknowledge that problem at all.
And the updates thing: Apple controls the ecosystem and are a huge company. They dont have to worry about manufactures for a processor or other parts not supporting it longer and stop giving it driver updates. Same with Samsung and especially Google. They are huge companies that can basically do what they want. They will be able to get a hold of drivers and firmware because they are a huge customer to the manufactures. And they only just started promising those long updates. Meanwhile Fairphone has been trying for years to support their devices that long and had to struggle because they are not a massive cooperation that can influence manufactures like that to the point they now dont use normal consumer grade chips but ones with extended support.

Do they pay you to “yeah but” for them or are you just a simp?
Vrtrx@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Eh nope. Just stating facts that’s all

I’ve listed facts here. But every time you come up with an excuse to consume more product.
It’s not like I’m recommending a specific brand and they’re actually some of the most common but you will always justify buying shit you don’t need.
You are simping for a private company that exploits labor just so you can feel better about buying another new phone instead of used.

No you didn’t list any facts. “Every time”. Dude I’ve just told you ONCE that you can’t compare massive cooperations against a small company. I don’t even own a Fairphone and have never owned one. I keep my phone as long as possible. I’m literally not the type of consumer you think I am. But sure just because I listed literal facts you can’t seem to accept, I’m a fanboy of a brand I’ve never bought from and just pointed out some facts once. Whatever makes you feel better I guess
