Closest I found is this at 188 EUR (!). The electronics are probably non-European and they’re just assembled in France.

They also have regular one time password two factor authentication (6 digit code every 30s) for a while now, in case you tried them while it was still the weird “PIN + OTP” thing


For linux games see jc141. For the most part if the game has a native port it will be marked as native in the title. If not, it’ll be emulated


The keypad lock feature is really bad. You know the feature in smartphones where even on the lockscreen there is an “emergency call” button, so anyone can call? In the HMD candybar phones, you can just press “9” and it bypasses the keyboard lock. So if you put the phone in a bag and the buttons get pressed randomly, eventually it will reach “999”. Then it’s a matter of the green call button being randomly pressed and it calls the ambulance.
The emergency team even called me back asking why do I keep calling and do I need help, as they wanted to block my number from calling them.


HMD used to manufacture (I don’t think they’ll release any new Nokia phone till the end ofthe year) phones using the Nokia brand, because Nokia licensed it to them. The license ends with the end of this year. From that point on HMD will make devices under their own brand.


On a journey like this what I found most difficult is not to go insane. With search engines sucking (though you can narrow down google to look only in EU) it’s sometimes really annoying to find every little item from an EU company. I still buy used non-EU clothes on Vinted, because who cares, they’re already there. Patagonia is cool despite being an US company, so they get a pass.
Finally it’s obviously a bit more expensive to buy European. But then again workers in Portugal, Bulgaria or Austria have completely different working conditions than their peers in Bangladesh.
Things have a base price. The fact that you can buy a t-shirt for 5 euro doesn’t mean that this is how much it “should” cost. It means that the company cut every corner possible to nuke the price to an absurdly low level, where it’s downright unhealthy to the ecosystem/industry at that price. It’s not that the made in EU clothes are expensive, it’s just that the price is just right if European manufacturing and natural/recycled materials are important to you.


Wonder if this problem will be “solved” with Qi2 (magnetic charging) in the future. Pixel 10 is supposed to have it if we’re talking Android. Otherwise with 2 USB-C ports you have Lenovo Legion 2 Pro and Lenovo Legion Y90 but that’s not mainstream


You have been visited by the USB-C port. This post is now protected against headphone jack jihadists


I agree. FP needs to walk a fine line between ethics and being profitable. In FP threads people keep making demands instead of being able to compromise
You worked to create a phone made with ethical factory conditions which no one else does? How nice! Wait, what do you mean it doesn’t have a headphone jack/ is too big?! I don’t care about the people anymore
Same with people saying “the price is not worth it for a mid tier phone” yes of course it’s not, you’re partly paying for how it’s manufactured, which has no direct benefit to you as a user. This is an ethical purchase. Recycled cotton t-shirts made in Germany cost 40 euro, I wonder why?
i would totally post to my wall on socials in 2013


If you end up going with Intel anyway, avoid I219-LM (e.g. IBM I340-T2), it has issues where you need to run some commands on startup to disable some of the NIC’s features so that it doesn’t lose connection for a few m every few days. It’s pretty old so you probably won’t end up using it, but just putting it out here.


I just wish they had an integration wtih a password manager like Bitwarden - e-mail alias integration docs. As you can see there are already many services integrated

I… cook in a terry cloth (“towel”) bath robe when I know I’ll go out after cooking. I guess it functions similar to a smoking jacket:
To protect their clothes, many men would wear their robes-de-chambre while smoking in private. These robes acted as a barrier against ash and smoke
Probably doesn’t help for not having your hair smell


Isn’t this a screenshot of Truspilot reviews for the company called “Nothing”, not Fairphone?


Let’s contain the coming 3.5mm jack jihadists under this reply please
Though it would be nice to just use the e-mail alias service from your existing e-mail provider (as you describe with mailbox) rather than buying another 3rd party service.
