It’s usually just the antennas that got very slightly out of their sockets. Look for a how to get it openned and press the antenna wires (they should be the only real round, white plastic coated, wires you’ll see) back into their sockets. And you’ll be good to go for a few more years.

Here is the product page of the chip in Fairphone’s 5th phone:

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/internet-of-things/industrial/building-enterprise/qcm6490#Overview

Fairphone uses Qualcomm snapdragon chips but they don’t use chips made for mobile phones, it’s chips for industrial use they buy, so the secure element might be missing. The reason is: they are supported for way longer which allows fairphone such long update periods. The shortlist of other phonemakers who can do the same are the ones who design their own chips: Google, Samsung, Apple.

It’s an e/ OS spin-off. Quite a trustable project.

Google deprecated both AOSP phone app and AOSP messenger app a few months ago. Normally, there should be a surge in FOSS replacements for both apps as they are needed by ROM makers to have a good experience (also: i understand it’s not necessarily the most exciting kind of apps to dev yet they are probably among the most risky privacy-wise to make)

I found soudcore to be underwhelming as far as ANC is concerned, i had Phillips before them… I miss their ANC capability dearly!

Yes

Sorry about it, mixed up the two. I’m an empty head.

Realisticaly, i think FSD has the potential to be level 3 officially and probably some car makers have the tech to do it too BUT in the EU, if the car has a level 3 autonomous driving, the car maker becomes legally responsible of accidents when the driving conditions are met ( most EU states limit it to highways). For the time being,only Mercedes had the courage to try it (probably because they have ample knowledge of driving assistance through their trucking production.)

That because tesla induced them to think it was level 4 or 5 while FSD is level 2 (like most Toyotas are ) but with a few extra options.

And as long as there is a need for a human to endorse responsability, it will remain at level 2.

[comment clarification: I confused Autopilot and FSD]

Yeah they should have called it level 2 autonomous driving, like most other mass market car makers do (except Mercedes which have level 3 on the roads). People could then compare the different limits and clearly see what brands are or are not at the forefront of the tech.

Same thing with adguard-DNS: you can use their online service or download and install on your own server :opensource stuff Bitwarden password manager style.

The other apps are not free to dev and maintain either. You got to give what you can.
