@rachaelspooky Having seen the internals of a Fairphone, I'm convinced that it would be totally viable to legally mandate repairable designs (to at least that level) for modern phones

@joepie91 @rachaelspooky also I don't think the security update thing is actually that bad Google Play Services are updated for old models, and you can still run a modern browser that has security bugs fixed, so you can defend yourself against web exploit kits. If you're not running APKs from sketchy websites or the malware that sometimes is in the Play Store you're probably fine. the largest risk with smartphones are scams and those work regardless of updates :p |
@rachaelspooky (As in, none of that "modern phones are too complicated and optimized to be made repairable" nonsense from manufacturers)
