  • I'm not sure it accounts for everything, but people tend to embrace conservatism (and yes, eventually Authoritarianism) due to fear. I was very young during the HIV/AIDS scare, but the fear was rampant and very real.

    Magic Johnson making his diagnosis public and Princess Diana touching someone with AIDS was international headline news.

    People are dumb and fear makes us less empathetic and even dumber.

  • We designed The Fairphone (Gen. 6) to last as long as possible, making it robust and modular to enable easy repairs, customization, and upgrades.

    We want to empower users to take ownership of their products by offering them easy options for maintenance and repairs. How long it lasts will also depend on the user and on how they treat their phone. But to make it as easy as possible, we have created an ecosystem that supports long-lasting use, first-hand or second-hand. We offer:

    • Reasonably priced spare parts and repair tutorials
    • Regular software platform updates (latest Android software) and security updates 5-year warranty (to be activated via fairphone.com/warranty)
    • Access to source code and open source development encouraged Active reminders to perform regular maintenance, making sure the phone remains in good state for as long as possible
    • Financial rewards via the “Keep Club” loyalty program for every time a repair is performed and for every year a phone is kept in use

    What are the plans for Android and security updates with The Fairphone (Gen. 6)?

    We are planning to provide at least Android 16 to Android 22, so seven years of Android upgrades from launch and one extra year of security updates only, so eight years of software support in total!

  • Seems like a stand up guy with a ton of qualifications. Hopefully enough of the members see him as an agreeable alternative to MBS. All the problems he mentions are very real and very visible, and unfortunately much bigger than he carefully implies. The consolidation of power and authority and extreme lack of accountability is appalling.

    Hell, just for the regulations of 2026 debacle (giving teams basically just 1 season of development is so horrible considering the huge swath of changes) MBS obviously needs to go, and likely, hopefully, the member orgs are upset.

    And more pointedly, all the recent morality police bullshit and the horrific sexism, particularly demonstrated in his culling of female leadership roles and around the extremely negligent FIA disinterest in F1 Academy, which is nearly entirely run by Susie Wolff and like 3 sponsors with basically no budget or marketing support from FIA.

  • Audio mixing, Photoshop, Blender, CAD, etc.

    Lots of creative applications.

    FWIW, Ploopy is a massive force in the open source hardware game. Mice, trackballs (their specialty), headphones, and lots of other items.

  • The Polynesian people had many ways of detecting land far beyond the horizon using ocean currents, temperatures, weather patterns, animal movements, and others which they used to island hop all the way through the Pacific Islands.

    I have little doubt it was a well informed theory before they got into their vessels.

  • I bought cheap tri-ply stainless steel set and a couple carbon steel pans from

    https://www.webstaurantstore.com/

    For less than $300 for the whole set.

    If it's good enough for a professional kitchen it's more than enough for the rest of us.

    Edit: This was 4 years ago and everything is still in great shape and is used constantly. The stainless is as good as any tri-ply. Vigor stainless steel and Vollrath carbon steel. Can't go wrong at the price really.
