The irony is that some on the left also think Speers and the ABC are biased against their side of politics.

HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models.

How much are the factory workers paid? Where are the raw materials sourced? What percentage is recycled? What work is HMD doing to change the industry?

Better to get an older phone and hold onto it.

That's sort of how they've marketed their phones over the years. Fairphone exists as a fairer alternative to brand new phones, but the company has always been quite clear that the most environmentally friendly phone you have is your current one and that you should keep it for as long as realistically possible.

Do you really think they'll make one?

im still not sure the whole business thing is a just a greenwashing scam or not.

What does "greenwashing" actually mean to you? None of your criticisms are related to the environment.

I actually thought Albanese won this one pretty clearly. Dutton got absolutely shit on by Speers on nuclear and climate change and all the international relations/foreign affairs stuff played right into Labor's hands, which is bizarre considering it's one of Dutton's favourite topics and supposed strengths. Imagine having to actually apologise for an IR blunder during the live debate where you are trying to portray yourself as a strong leader on the global stage.

No reason? The XZ1 Compact only came with 32 GB of internal storage. If I wanted to use that phone, 32 GB was it. You seem to have extreme difficulty understanding the very simple concept that not everyone wants or needs the same things as you in life. We aren't all you, we don't all want to live like you. You're not the main character.

The convicted man, identified as 58-year-old transportation businessman Fumihiro Otobe, was implicated in violating Nintendo’s trademark rights for soldering modchips to secondhand Switch motherboards and peddling them online for roughly $195 USD. The modified consoles are reported to have been bundled with 27 pirated games, but it’s unclear how many devices Otobe sold before being caught. Polygon (15/04/25)

As always, if you don't try to make money from, and/or distribute, pirated content then you have nothing to worry about. You haven't lost anything, you will still be able to modify your own Switch.

Let’s stop defending companies

Let's stop making strawman arguments. Nowhere did I "defend companies", I talked about my own experience using a 32 GB phone. It is enough for me. Nothing you say can will change how I use my phone or what I require out of it.

I just explained all the ways in which a 32 GB phone is sufficient for my needs, with room to spare. Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7, some of us still just use them as basic tools and 32 GB is enough storage for that.

The word hasn't seen widespread use as a "disability slur" for a very long time. The great irony of this very vocal online minority continuing to fake offence and turn it into a political left vs right thing is that they are actually trying to take us back to the world in which the word has real power. If they were genuinely concerned about the word then they would just shut the fuck up and let it exist as the generic insult it has become.
