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.

Most people will switch smartphones anyway. Nothing you or I can do about it I'm afraid.
Better we get then hooked on fairphone then.
That's the best case scenario, worst case scenario however you sell to someone who otherwise wouldn't have switched. In that case, it's still one more new phone. And who is guaranteeing that other people will actually use their Fairphone for its whole lifetime?
True, but I feel like selling your used Fairphone isn't the solution to this.
