  1. Then just play CS1 and give this one a year and a 50% discount whilst the beta testers early buyers pay paradox to do their bug catching job
  2. Uninstall Adblock Save 4 months worth of YouTube Premium Buy a raspberry pi Setup pihole ???? Profit
  3. And old twitter wouldn't even touch them and let them be, just like their high defense for pedo content
  4. Guess terrorist groups recruiting through twitter and spreading their execution for everyone to see only becomes a problem when someone they don't like becomes che owner of the platform. I wonder where was the EU for the entirety of the 2010s
  5. had to research it for a bit pixel pass was in fact financing with bonuses. So at the end of the 2 years you keep the phone you paid in full and would have gotten the option to renew the contract for the same price with a new phone. I understood it wrong and saw as google counter offer to Apple and Samsung leasing solutions. Still, Google inability to commit still holds true. And people still shouldn't use google futures plans as something to considerate when deciding what to buy. 7 years of upgrade i'd believe it from fairphone cause their past track record shows that they can actually do it. 7 years of upgrade from google... only time will tell, but past records says it most likely won't happen
  6. cant agree with you there pixel pass was pretty much google's leasing solution. You pay a monthly fee and every 2 years you traded your old phone for the new one. With the google one services as an extra By not even completing a first round of lease google definitely cheated out everyone who bought into pixel pass for that reason. The only thing good out of this is that google didn't attempt to take the phones back or force everyone to pay an extra fee to cover the difference between the a full purchase and the lease.
  7. and the pixel pass thing is more than reason enough to not buy a pixel based on a promise from google
  8. Apart from Google hardware being trash, gotta say I'm pretty impressed with their commitment to 7 years of update... even if it should have been a thing from the begining with the G1 SoC (going to be benevolent and give them a pass on every other phone that came with a Snapdragon because of Qualcomm shit attitude at supporting their older chips). Having said that, wouldn't give Google my money even if they claimed a decade of support. A company with a history of canning everything at a whims notice, shouldn't be trusted to begin with.
  9. Summary In a news that surprises no one, confirmed apple hater iFixit drops the repairability score of the iPhone 14 from 7 out of 10 to an offending 4. The notorious company blames their change of heart on Apple's safety features of software locking components making making part replacement impossible without their approval first. Quotes My thoughts jokes aside: US corporation that always do bad, does something bad. More at 12. Sources https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/2023/09/19/ifixit-drops-iphone-14-repair-score/
  10. Clearly France is an angry android user trying to shit on Apple
  11. only issue i got with the screen was image persistence 3 years ago, solved by replacing it. Other than that it looks fine to me, images are crisp and don't appear washed out. Colors pop out, not as much as on a samsung panel, but still good imo okay then it's one extra, small and compact, battery vs a power bank and a dongle that needs to be removed when i change source from a phone to say a PC or a console like the deck. carrying one battery may sound inconvenient to you lot, but sure as hell it isn't as inconvenient as the solution you people are proposing here just to get me to change a still perfectly fine phone for devices that don't even try to fill in all the check-boxes the V10 has. sounds like a hack to a self made problem that didn't have to exist in the first place.
  12. a good LCD can still outshine a bad OLED, doubt Fairphone is using some goods panels from Samsung or LG. and yet for some reason i'm still the one doing the better recording among my group of friends. I'll take 70% perfect rectangle over a 99% one with a defect. add to check, it's true. Only one without the quadDAC and only one with the DAC and amp as seperate chips. Why carry a dongle? i'd rather not. yeah no, im fine like this and see no value in wireless charging, going from a dangling cable to stay perfectly still in that spot? i'll take the minute of reboot thank you very much. And sacrificing good design choices for bad ones. yeah, too bad the market rewards only those who stick to trends.
  13. better battery? sure better screen? not even close i loose the headphone jack, the quadDAC, the mic and recording software that almost puts the phone on par with the cheapest tascam, the IR blaster, the secondary display that avoid having a hole on the main screen. Apple's dongle can drive high impedance headphone/IEMs? that's new to me. It's amazing how people are outraged that i'd rather have convenience of carrying a single extra battery over a powerbank and it's cable and having the phone attached to something when i need more juice. Guess what's more mobile between the two options. Yeah no, hard disagree, V10 > V30. V20 could have taken the cake but they add to ruin with the metal back. 30, 40, 50 and 60, was just LG trying to follow trends
  14. Who's the one being delusional? owning buying multiple batteries and managing their charge state? It's called a charging cradle, mind blowing i own. I'll also tell you how it works: Put your spare battery in, put your phone if needed, done. Even acts as a phone stand. Such complication, much hard. And what's wrong with turning off your phone now? But i'll entertain your wild claim, it's a whole minute if we include the time it takes the phone to reboot while being tether free and only carrying around a battery the size of... the phone's battery vs a power bank and constantly having a cable dandling around. didn't say it cost nothing but you said it yourself, it's still cheaper then the new awesome futuristic way of doing things. how we go from a phone to multiple types of battery to carry around can only happen in your looney world, In the real world, i have a phone, it's spare battery and that's it. a 14€ battery, last time i purchased vs a 50€ battery and service and let's not include the time in it, so negligible
  15. let me see, right now replacing a battery that is dying costs me nothing and, beside shipping, takes 30 seconds to do. On top of that i can have more than one at a time and go days without seeing a wallwart. But yeah the new way of doing things is soooooooo much better. I stick to what works and don't accept less as more
  16. i'm literally the one who made the post about the fairphone 5. And compared to the V10 it's just compromises, gives me one thing, forget about all the others. And not carrying around extras is even better.
  17. yay... carry more stuff instead of just one. untill the battery goes bad, then what? buy a new phone again? go around with a heatgun, and a spare glass back just in case the one on shetters during prying? tether? compromise, compromise, compromise and compromise. The future is bright indeed
  18. Let me make a list: A good built in amp that can drive my high impedance headphones A good built in DAC cause I don't want to carry an external one A good set of mics to record jam sessions A removable battery cause they are disposable and I'd rather swap a battery in the middle of the day than be tethered to a power bank or a wall wart SD cards, cause it doesn't matter how large the storage is when it can all be gone with the phone if it just suddenly dies on you, and cloud ain't an alternative Non glass sandwich design, dumbest to ever come out Nice feature to have of the V10: the secondary display On top of the main one with its front facing camera next to it without ruining the main display with holes What do I get with the current selection of devices right now: A better SoC and current version of android. Maybe a removable battery, but forget everything else. Doesn't sound like an upgrade to me, and I'm perfectly content with my current phone and see no reason to swap as long as it keeps going as it is and letting me type this reply without breaking a sweat.

  20. show me a phone that is an actual upgrade to everything that makes the V10 and i'll consider it. Else i don't see any reason to throw mony out of the window
  21. But not this one, hence the higher price for the mid range spec. Fair trade costs more to deliver a product, who would have guess
