i wish that still existed, there’s conversions for some modern cars, but it has basically vanished.
welp, gotta stock up on spare parts for my little nugget i guess…
just looking around for now

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
not an exact fit, but i think about that sentence often
that game fucks you up in many ways.
i carry an emergemcy audio adpater ony keychain now, thanks fairphone.
also, two of the 4 audio adapters i have are starting to break down, forcing me to buy new ones. real sustainable you guys
and yes, the one fairphone sells is one of the broken ones.
they started manufacturing a specific model in the EU, though much more expensive.
beyerdynamic headphones are made in germany, highly recommend.
If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
for laptops, linux is king. but many use cases still don’t work yet.
and since a desktop needs to be able to do so much more, it’s going to be a long-ass time before i can switch.
already learning to use it though, so the switch will be as smooth as possible.
sure, i would love universal seperate bike lanes on roads here in germany. the fahrradschutzstreifen seems really unsafe.
i have no problem with people wanting to save money and trying to be as ecological as possible by using public transport and riding their bike.
but it feels like i’m being attacked for driving a small, comfortable, fuel efficient car. i understand why people living in city centres got used to cars not being around, but you don’t solve climate crises by screaming “ban cars!” from every rooftop. that’s not gonna make people want to engage, because so many people like driving cars.
i would like to say Akio Toyoda does things very differently, and i love him for it.
this is the guy that made the GR yaris, the GR Supra and the 86 line possible. not all of them great cars, but a good start after 20 years of FWD corollas.
the headphone jack is unforgivable for many users. as an audiophile i often use external DACs anyways, but it still sucks ass to carry around an “emergency audio adapter” which stops working after like a year (even the expensive ones) compared to a built-in one.
fuck you fairphone, but the upsides of the 4 outweighed the downsides for me.
self driving cars would basically be more comfortable and also more expensive public transport.
i for one like to control when i go where at what speed, at which interior temperature, at a great increase in comfort, with a good deal more privacy and in a vehicle i own.
a coexistence of public and private transport to fit everyone’s needs and demands would be ideal, but another culture war seems likelier.
meanwhile actual human drivers continue to get worse at driving, partially caused by the many driving “assistants” which won’t stop making seemingly random noises. while also enabling the driver to look at their phone while completely ignoring traffic “because they have lane keeping and distance control”
cars around me have my full attention, because my car doesn’t interfere wuth my ability to drive. (2002 yaris btw)
rant over, sorry. i just really hate modern cars.
ah yes, the classic. playing victim. a whole government being the victim of a terror group while having the full support of many more governments.
not like you cared about the civilians at any point in time.
how are they supposed to keep up with microsoft with an open messaging standard? can’t miss out on being the most valuable company with a market cap at more than 3 trillion dollars…

i own a fairphone 4 for performance mainly. but i hope this thing lasts me at least 5 years, owned it since august of 2022.
i have made my own Charger, so battery life isn’t going to be a problem for a long time.
not OP, but i wish. how would i afford to do what i want?
like the US military. most of their mission critical stuff has been running for 20 years that way.
if only there were an operating system that could update without shutting down.
