“For the amount of space it takes to include a second speaker or second camera it doesn’t really make sense when you can just plug in an external one”
You sound like an idiot.
I can buy a phone from HMD that’s more repairable, more modular, and has sustainable features.
Fairphone has been a busted flush since they ditched the headphone jack. It’s just the most obvious sign amongst many they started making landfill phones.
This is a good run through

It’s targeting performance benchmarks for the 8700G at 1080p and getting decent FPS
RAM speed really matters as it’s also your GPU memory. So low clock RAM will kill GFX performance.
If you’re really budget conscious TDP at 65W for the CPU and GFX is a major win over any other setup.
I know someone who went the 5700G route a few years ago and was pretty happy.
But my budget setup:
USB-C dock for my steam deck. One device for desktop, TV, and handheld.
As the amount of time I’ve got to spend on games has gone down, I’ve got too many great games to get through on the steam deck already and I lean towards indie titles.
During the summer running a heater as a GPU either makes the room unpleasant or has additional air con load.
Honestly each Playstation generation has ended up sub 250W power consumption at launch with sub 400W rated PSUs. They kick out enough heat.
A build with a 1000W PSU or 1200W PSU is a red flag for me.
I get the desire to get the best possible performance but at some point it’s really not worth it. It’s a space heater, and one too powerful to leave on even in the winter.
Edit: Disregard. I have the 13, not the 12.
~~Normal laptop formfactor. You can have a touch screen as an option but it doesn’t do the full 360 fold round into a tablet.
I own one and the hinge goes 180.
It’s an excellent laptop, I grabbed one when the first AMD board was available and it runs Fedora flawlessly and has windows on an SSD when I need it.~~
No headphones jack.
Trash generating hypocrites.
HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models. More repairable, more flexible, long term support and updates.
Cheaper too.
Trains are easy and they’re easily electrified already. So putting solar on the trains won’t have any advantage.
Rails are the difficult part of railways. They never seem to put them between my house and my work. They’ve put something called a road in between instead.

Exceptions are possible. Money isn’t everything for everyone.
Honestly, Zoom just has a hilariously high frequency of vulnerabilities being discovered.
There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.
Unfortunately “prompt engineers” seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.
The problem is artists often make their actual living doing basic boiler plate stuff that gets forgotten quickly.
In graphics it’s Company logos, advertising, basic graphics for businesses.
In writing it’s copy for websites, it’s short articles, it’s basic stuff.
Very few artists want to do these things, they want to create the original work that might not make money at all. That work potentially being a winning lottery ticket but most often being an act of expressing themselves that doesn’t turn into a payday.
Unfortunately AI is taking work away from artists. It can’t seem to make very good art yet but it can prevent artists who could make good art getting to the point of making it.
It’s starving out the top end of the creative market by limiting the easy work artists could previously rely on to pay the bills whilst working on the big ideas.
I’m sticking with relevance. A >25% rise is what we’re talking about.
A 0.001 difference on a 0.004 total would be worth showing.
No it doesn’t.
It’s meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine. It’s not a scientific paper.
It’s a 32-34% increase looking at the graph. That’s significant enough to shout about.
Imagine any change you could make surprising competition by 25% in any market. That’s huge.
During setup there is a keyboard shortcut to get to command prompt.
Then a command you can use.
Then the machine restarts and you can setup without a Microsoft account.
(For reference I’m on my dual booting Linux phase. I’d like to ditch it altogether but Wayland isn’t quite there yet and x never will be.)
Absolutely. The reason these things don’t last is because it’s not worth the investment to redevelop and maintain.
I’m just pointing out that’s the reason to move to where there is investment and sustainability in the product.
Firefox cut funding for maintaining an option due to low usage. Speculative investment in a replacement fell flat.
Google cuts investment for the same reasons and that happens often. They speculate on a new product then cut it if it doesn’t work out for them.
Neither company doing this is a bad thing.
The problem most people have is they are late to move to a mature product, which then having reached maturity is assessed as either a success or failure. Then due to low usage it’s cut.
Then they’re looking for the next mature product. Again ignoring sustainability. Which is then also cut.
Firefox has also had issues in this regard.
“Firefox’s built-in support for web feeds and Live Bookmarks was removed with the release of Firefox version 64 in December 2018.”

They pushed “Pocket” over RSS.
Now they’re depreciating the Mac pocket app and it’s clearly not going to do well in the future.
5 years of moving people away from RSS to another service, to then start to depreciate that service.
5 years from the major redesign of google reader from 2008 to 2013 and closing it down.
My lesson. Expect to change your software for the web every 4 years or so. If it lasts longer it’s a bonus. But chances are if you make the effort to move to the best (and most recently developed) candidate every 4 years you’ll be in a good place.
You know when software gets stale, you know when there are better options, use them.
Sometimes your current choice gets a new round of development, sometimes it goes stale.
The EU and Nokia are at the forefront of what you’re asking for.
Ultimately the more appetite for sustainability the better and the less custom sent to companies which are not actually sustainable the better.
Fairphone isn’t a sustainable company it’s pretending to be one and taking market share from more reputable companies.
They’ve probably lost to the competition already.
Nokia are more sustainable and offer more options for a lower price.
Fairphone are a virtue signalling brand at best now and a hypocritical one at that.
Anyone with a fairphone 4 might have made an honest mistake, a 5 or later and they’re just gullible.
A Nokia.
5 years of security updates. Cheap. Repairability commitment.

Very good camera.
Still an idiot.
