Shout out. Anyone use or have used a Fairphone and if so, what are your thoughts? Pros and cons, beyond the obvious self-repair and long-term support? Boosts okay.

edit: thanks for the feedback, all. Now currently discussing options with my wife.
Time to #free the #mobilephone too.
Therefore, collecting possible alternatives here,
for me and others -
and grateful for additional pointers and experiences:

Falls die Amies mir in Zukunft mein Smartphone ausschalten sollten, dann hab ich zur Not noch europäisch finnische Wertarbeit im Haus.

re: Nokia 6210
This is not an advert, and I have never used these phones, but reading this reminded me how poor smartphones' support is. Life expectancy is usually based on a soldered battery which lasts around 3 years really, and above all, security patch updates too. A totally unsustainable economy on the long run..

As you watch this on your mobile phone, try to avoid letting it control your life... especially the lives of your kids.

And the answer is: yes, it is. Phone reboots after taking multiple photographs.
So. Here I have a #DeGoogled Google Pixel 2 with #LineageOS installed on it. The camera isn't reliable, the battery life is laughable.
What on earth am I going to DO with it?
Any ideas, oh #Mastodon Hive-Mind?
Apple says a bug caused its iPhone voice-to-text feature to spit out 'Trump' when a user says 'racist'
Apple said it is working on repairing a glitch after some iPhone users noticed that speaking the word “racist” into the voice-to-text feature causes it to write “Trump” before quickly switching to “racist.”

Is there any hope for an old cellphone that has a messed up display? Like a lot of ghosting and mostly dark.
It's a little old #Sony M4 and it's now only useful (not much memory for any useful apps) for rides with Grey 
and time elapsed 
, to play music, and sometimes to navigate and record some video (i.e. my low-res witness, just in case).
Wondering if it's worth having it fixed. If it can* be fixed.

I was going to upgrade from my #iPhone 14 Pro, but I’d prefer not to buy #American during the #TrumpCoup.
Any suggestions for a good phone that won’t send funds to the #AxisOfEvil?
Security researcher details 2 bugs in “popular” spyware/stalkerware apps Cocospy and Spyic. 1) Exposes the personal data of millions of people who have the apps unwittingly installed on their devices. Data includes messages, photos, and call logs. 2) Exposes the email addresses of the people who signed up with the intention of planting the app on someone’s device to covertly monitor them.
Researchers collected > 2M million email addresses of the spyware’s customers. These mobile stalkerware apps share the same source code and are apparently linked to Chinese software developers.

The new #AI equipped #ANPR #camera #vans using tech developed in #Australia will be deployed by #WestMidlands #Police - they can apparently spot #speeding , seatbelt violations, #mobilephone use and even #DUI ! (probably by monitoring those who are driving erratically and not keeping to correct lanes)
Vans cost £47 000 each (cheaper than I had expected, a plain new van (without any Police equipment is £35k) #RoadSafety #Surveillance #UK
The tyranny of #apps
Those without #smartphones are unfairly #penalised, say #campaigners
From #loyalty cards, to restaurant meal deals or simply #parking your #car – it is harder and harder to get by without signing up to a multitude of apps
iPhone 16e kommt mit High-End-Hardware und günstigerem Preis
Apple hat endlich das neue iPhone SE - wir meinen natürlich iPhone 16e! - offiziell vorgestellt. Die neue Namensgebung ist seltsam, die Hardware dafür aber ziemlich aktuell.

Keep it in a separate #handbag or #carrybag instead, not touching the body.
