Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe

They really tried hard to make an acronym fit…

A bit like SHIELD

We had a nice homemade Thai curry here (and no, I don’t live on Thailand)

Just to chip in, whilst I agree that Fairphone is not a truely interchangable modular phone, it does have the ability for some modules to be replaced.

The Fairphone 3 even had the ability to upgrade with better ones to create the 3+

I don’t think the newer models are doing that though, which is a shame

I know this is a little OT, but I repaired a dead Karcher pressure washer this weekend… a little effort and I’m much more likely to purchase / recommend them in the future.

If the manufacturer’s grip is too tight, I’m going elsewhere - and I’ll be more loyal to them

Just to add to this, the price doesn’t highlight the Total Cost of Ownership well…

My Fairphone 3+ has been getting updates for years and I also bought a replacement battery (at the same time I bought the phone) to ensure that it lasts for many more years to come.

And I’m SIM-Only, so not paying longterm to a phone company

Cost/Lifetime is probably lower than a mainstream phone (I’ll actually do the calculation one day)
