Framework with RISC-V? All I’m saying is that a small push for open source firmware and Framework may end up being the best open source laptop option in the world.

Public WiFi that requires your email address to use is a sin against humanity.

@zak little secret…you can put in whatever you want there. I’ve never been asked to confirm an email, so I usually put in snoopy@snooopy.com such nonsense.

This issue is why I would never buy another traditional Android phone. The fact that three (or sometimes just two) years of OS updates are provided by the manufacturer, plus the fact that the bootloader is often locked, basically guarantees that even the best flagship devices of today will unnecessarily end up being trash within five years or so.

These devices are computers, and they should be treated like computers.

@zak Two years is on the high side of what you can get from a flagship-priced Android phone. Sony flatly refuses to promise even a single security patch for the Xperia 1 V (just released at $1400).

@zak This is the reason, why I chose Fairphone.
