She’s so adorable

I currently have a Fairphone 4 device.

Hard to say about loyalty, since this is the only time I can say I’ve personally been attached to any particular phone brand. And if their device will prove to be very badly designed then I’ll obviously go back on my decision.

I guess what I like about them is their stance on various social issues, like the sourcing of raw materials that go into manufacturing a modern smartphone, and how they commit to improving themselves based on that.

For example, they talk about forming the Cobalt Fairtrade foundation, in the hopes of promoting the ethical sourcing of the cobalt that goes into your phone’s battery, so that it doesn’t involve child labor.

Or how they claim to pay factory workes a better wage that most other manufacturers, even though this can only be achieved by overpricing their own phone, which makes it less attractive.

Granted, you really have to care about this stuff yourself to become invested in the company because the phone itself is very bland and, otherwise, quite overpriced

Great article and very nice that you went ahead and contacted the companies directly.

It’s always nice to see which services are lolicon friendly and which not, so that most buyers can make informed decisions before spending their money on them

Fairphone 4. What I like about it is it’s modularity and the fact that you can find spare parts for it on the official store, to order.

What I dislike about it is it’s thickness and weight

I agree with this. I Heard good thingsaboiut Rust

If you ask the compiler, it will only spit out a nonsensical wall of garbled mess

As a fairphone 4 owner, I can vouch for them.

Yeah, their hardware is pretty bland and unimpressive but sometimes a boring phone is a good choice for some people.

The Fairphone 4 doesn’t have a headphones jack, nor does it have wireless charging. It also only has 1 SIM slot (I think it was micro-SIM: either that or nano-SIM, I can’t remember) but it also supports e-SIM natively, so that you can have two phone data plans simultaneously: one with a physical SIM and one with an eSIM.

It also works quite well and it allows you to unlock thebootloader using an automated online tool, where you have to provide the serial number and some other number on the phone box.

Also, the battery life is quite decent, and it supports fast charging

Linus? Is that you?

Sorry, but that’s not true. While technically true, that full disk encryption doesn’t exist anymore, they use file based encryption which, functionally, is the same thing. Source: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-encrypt-android-device-326700/

Pretty much my thoughts, yes.

In order for the FDE to have any usefulness, the key has to be derived from a secret that only the user of phone knows (I.e. a secret PIN, password or pattern)
