I had no idea that the #fairphone stacked up so well to the iPhone. Even as someone trying to pay attention to such things.

From the slide:

• Both rated A overall energy efficiency.
• Battery life: Fairphone 6 lasts 53h 52min, iPhone 17 lasts 41h.
• Drop resistance: Fairphone 6 is A, iPhone 17 is B.
• Water/dust resistance: Fairphone 6 is IP55, iPhone 17 is IP68. (iPhone wins here) Not to mention repairability (iFixit 10/10 vs 7/10), removable battery, longer software support (7 OS updates, 8 years patches), and cheaper ($699 vs $799). (via @sloweb@mastodon.uno )

You work in tech. You regularly have to input some form of MFA, whether passkey or a rolling code MFA from something like Google Authenticator or Authy. You work from home, and slack is the primary form of communication, with email becoming a distant secondary form. Time AFK (Away From Keyboard) is possible if you have your #smartphone, and you panic if it's not within reach. How do you go to a #dumbphone, in this scenario? I would like to ditch my smartphone, carry a camera on #bike trips, reduce my #addiction to the internet a bit, reduce the #surveillance of my activity a bit. My main concern is work requirements for communication and MFA. I am curious about things like #grapheneos, #fairphone, dumbphones. I have a Google #Pixel, an older model, and definitely don't want something newer that has more #AI integration, surveillance. Have you done this? How did it go? Please boost.

@unfa@mastodon.social i recently got the new #Murena #Fairphone 6, so no tech oligarchs in my phone. & i'm loving it 💙😊 #BreakTheOligarchy

Any Fairphone (or other non Android/iOS phone) users out there who also use Starling Bank and Halifax/Lloyds Bank? Which phone and OS are you using, please? I want to switch my phone away from Android but still need to access banking for me and Mum. Thank you. Edit because some text got missed off. #FairPhone #StarlingBank

After installing the original #murena /e/OS #eos update to 4.1.1-a16 on my #Fairphone 6, all web content is loading extremely slowly. It doesn’t matter which app I’m using – the browser, Mastodon, etc. Can anyone else confirm this? I’ve already switched off the VPN.

In case you ever wondered, the lifetime of a #Fairphone 5 battery is 16 months, apparently. 😐 I guess that's a need to repair now. Kinda disappointing. I even used their battery life enhancing options for the better half of that time. Overall, I had this impression after a couple months and it looks like it's still true what some people say: With a Fairphone, you actually do get a rather mediocre phone for the price of a good phone. I really hope it does make a positive impact elsewhere.

I wanted to figure out if a dead battery this fast might be covered by warranty. In the confirmation for the extended warranty, they claim that everything will be "very easy" when I bought directly from #Fairphone. "Very easy" involves ten things you are required to try before they even look at your case, one of which is a factory reset, followed by two days without installing apps or restoring my data. wtf. Replacing the battery is 44 bucks and a 1 min repair, but the warranty is a joke, ok.

🆕Fairphone 6+ nadchodzi! Ekologiczny smartfon zaskoczy tym, na co inni producenci już się nie decydują ➡️https://rootblog.pl/fairphone-6-plus-pojawil-sie-w-przeciekach/ #fairphone #Fairphone6Plus

⚠️ Don't update from /e/OS 4.0 to 4.1.1! The main reason is that @murena@mastodon.social removed #Seedvault. They replaced it with their own backup app (based on Seedvault as I've heard) that only can backup to their own cloud! The problem with this is that you now have to pay for a backup, because who has a backup below 1GB. 🤷🏻 Yes, you've heard it right, #Murena goes vendor lock-in! It's now 100% clear that it's not about a Google alternative, but about their own payed services (what is just a customized Nextcloud). There are also some other bugs, that only will be fixed in 4.2 or 4.3, but nothing about the Seedvault removal. So people can't choose their backup location anymore. Multiple people asked on their forum, but no definitive answer was given. See here: https://community.e.foundation/t/feedback-for-v4-1-1 This is not their first time they messed it up. They also removed Material You, so they force you to use blue accent colours. Hopefully someone knows how to safely migrate to #LineageOS or another reliable custom ROM for a #Fairphone 6? #eOS

Fairphone 6+ incoming? https://www.gsmarena.com/fairphone_6_emerges_in_listing_with_surprising_amount_of_ram-news-73934.php 12GB in this economy? if the other specs are an upgrade from the 6, I dread the final price... (if the leak is true) #fairphone

Met a little starfish this evening that hung onto me for a while and left with a wave. #starfish #sea #Fairphone #netherlands

Over migreren van iPhone en iWatch naar #Fairphone met e/OS en (bijvoorbeeld) een #PineTime watch. Interessant artikel dat me wat geruststelt over het naderend afscheid nemen van mijn Apple spullen. Maar ik hik er toch nog ff tegenaan... Door @Skoop@phpc.social

@gdmalan@infosec.exchange @maddad@mastodon.world @ZoidbergForPresident@kolektiva.social @nakal@mastodon.social @arstechnica@mastodon.social A) applies to all #Fairphone|s. B) is a "you" problem on their part and chaining oneself to proprietary crap will be their downfall. And going with #Motorola which produces a fuckton of #EoL'd devices out of the gate and refuses to comply with @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu 's #RightToRepair is not inspiring confidence in #GrapheneOS to me. But hey, a concrete-headed & abrasive maintainer is running it into the ground… #sarcasm #commentary

@leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se After beeing in #jolla #sailfish land for 2 weeks and had #eos #murena on #fairphone 6 for 6 months…. I prefer currently #eos mainly for those reasons (now) even when sailfish would be my choice of heart and I will reevaluate in 12 months again … Fairphone 6 with murena 4.0 0) Ux seems currently a bit better on fp6 ( productivity) 1) more often software builds (since they are Android fork) / faster updates 2) all my important apps (password mgr, banking, government) run since 6 months (… lasted 6 months to get them to work) 3) the community seems more professional and less „emotional / hardcore“ 4) nfc payment works What I really liked about sailfish: 0) Less to no ties to the google / apple universe 1) the ui seems more focused and less nagging 2) the hardware of the new Jolla phone at least for me feels much better (even if it is midrange) Bottom line: both worked well, BUT sailfish has some Android app compatibility issues still (can not set a security pin on the app / Android universe… therefore many apps refuse working), if critical apps work I give it another try..

Mh... Okay also ist das Thema neues Smartphone doch aktueller als gewünscht. Mit meinem huawai p20 komme ich nicht höher. Als Android 10 (Emui 12, ist schon huawai Hausmarke...) Ist wieder die Frage #fairphone mit deren OS oder #pixel 9a? Mit #grapheneos Seufz #smartphone #did #Android
