At five years you’re probably going to be disappointed with the battery performance, but how many people are continuing to use a 5-year-old phone?
My brother has a 6+ years old Iphone, my parents both have a 5 years old Samsung Galaxy Phone (S21 and A51). None of them complains.
On top of that, giving the user access to the battery means the phone body can’t be fully sealed against moisture and dust
Do you think computer waterblocks are sealed using glue? Non, they aren’t. Screws and a good old o-ring are all you need to make a repairable AND waterproof phone. But they don’t want a repairable phone, they want you to buy a new one whenever possible.
plus the access panel is a big mechanical weakpoint which means the body will be less rigid than a fully enclosed device and thus more prone to breaking when dropped or sat on.
I dropped my FP5 multiple time. He never broke. My brother IPhone got a sharered back, and he had to replace the screen once for falling from a distance the FP5 just shrug off.
Plus, the addional space required to fit in the replaceable battery casing, the removable access panel and the contact points for the battery means either the whole device will have to be bulkier or the battery will have to be smaller (than it would otherwise be with a permanent internal battery).
True, but ot also don’t have to be the old pogo pin way. Any currently available battery is a removable battery given it is user accessible and isn’t glued to the board.
Today it’s weight and bulk, plus fragility that will probably lead to equivalent or increased e-waste.
I wonder… What would be the biggest e-waste? A dead battery or a dead battery with a whole perfectly functional phone attached to it?

Even with a backup, there are chance they put a “security feature” to prevent downgrade.

Makes sense. But you can offset part of the shipping from the fact that you can easily do the repair yourself.
Another possibility would be the HMD Skyline. Less repairable than Fairphones, but still far easier than most other smartphones. Only 2 years of updates though.
But starting from 2027, a removable battery will be mandatory for all smartphone in the EU, which mean most, if not all smartphone will switch to removable battery. This may also make repair a lot easier.

For being too forward, maybe?

Forward shipping exists.

Hum… So Fairphone ?

You don’t seem to understand how torrents work, or you don’t want to. Third option would be that you aren’t very bright, but I’d refrain to assume that to give you a chance to better explain your stance.

I’d add to the cons that some of the teammates are inconsistent gameplay wise. Some gets fusion very early, other pretty late (Eugene if I recall it well). Their story are similarly inconsistent, with some quite well done, and others very bare.

For those who never tried it, it is an excellent “Monster Catcher” game with a lot of good ideas.

I had to check if it wasn’t april.
The Steam Deck OLED screen is already barely enough, I can’t see how they’ll manage on an even smaller screen.

The rigid interpretation you can have when you are tired. But yeah, in this case I’m mistaken.

With my kinda rigid interpretation of Rule 1, this should be posted on an hardware community. !gaming@lemmy.world maybe ?

Damn, I played to it like, decades ago, and I still was able to instantaneously recognize the game. Never finished it though.

I own it on both Gog and Steam (both paid half price). One of the games I don’t regret paying twice for.

The release wasn’t that bad, just massively overhyped by the publisher.
But now it is a game that deserves such hype. It has massive content, while often being around $25. At that price, it’s a steal.

I also use it a lot for unit tests. It helps a lot when you have to write multiple edge cases, and even find new one at times. Like putting a random int in an enum field (enumField = (myEnum)1000), I didn’t knew you could do that…

Maybe crosspost to that other community too. It may help revive it.

Usually it is the same person who post them, if you are bothered by them, just block those two or three users and you won’t ever be bothered by them again.
Personally I hesitated to allow them at first, but it gives a bit more diversity to the community posts, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad things. For now I don’t think it is too much, even with two posters (the original and his… sidekick? 😆), but if the community subscribers start to down-vote it to hell (like was yours), then I’ll ask both of them to redirect those post to a dedicated community, like feddit.uk/c/photomode, linked by @Zahille7@lemmy.world
