A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What issues did you have with the Fairphone?

I see a couple of other people talking about them in this thread too so I checked out their website and it seems like a great concept honestly but I'd like to know if any issues to possibly expect if you wouldn't mind sharing.

I don’t believe they can provide firmware updates once the chipset loses support, which is bad for security. (The same also applies for every other manufacturer, but Fairphone claims to update their phones for a longer time).
