I use a Thermaltake Core V21. It holds 5 HDDs and you can hang hard drives from the top mesh panel holding up to 10-12 or so total.

You must be wearing leather underwear then?

Waking up the safety operator perhaps.

Wait… have you actually lost your mouse? Hilarious if true 😂

Sure, I just showed you the report, you may draw your own conclusions upon reading it. But in my opinion they’ve long proven to be transparent and actionable when it comes to improving the industry, e.g. by co-founding the Fair Cobalt Alliance. And maybe they even had something to do with those changes in legislation, the EU itself seems to recognise as much…

“Fairphone has made a tangible impact by improving working conditions for miners and factory workers, increasing the use of fair-trade and recycled materials, and extending product lifespans to combat e-waste. Its advocacy has influenced industry giants and policymakers to adopt fairer, more sustainable practices.”

a vague promise

“Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we collaborate with suppliers to develop improvement plans that are informed by detailed assessments and worker surveys.” p. 28

From their recently published annual(I think?) impact report. There’s a bit more detail under section 4.3, not crazy specific but definitely better than a vague promise imo.

Just in the US and Canada, for those like me who were curious.

It’s stock Android, I’ve never had any issues. Some people are saying they are late on updates, but I’ve never had issues because of that.

Here’s hoping they’ll continue support for the FP4 until 2028, or I’ll probably have to get the FP7.

I already admitted a dongle is a compromise, I don’t like them, but don’t start claiming people are forcing you to buy Bluetooth headphones when they’re not.

Every quarter? This is why I asked what was meant by ‘a lot’. If you’re going to claim that the extra wear caused would be this extreme I’d like for that to be at least somewhat substantiated.

requires you to buy and use battery powered headphones

This is simply false though, we’d agreed that you are required to buy and use a dongle, and that this is an added inconvenience. But you are not required to switch to wireless headphones and your old cans haven’t suddenly become useless. People still have a choice between wired and wireless, wired has just become a little less convenient, that’s all. I completely agree with you that people shouldn’t go out buying new gadgets if their old stuff is still functional, but you can just continue using your old headphones if you get a new phone if you buy a dongle with it. Inconvenient yes, but not the end for wired headphones.

You lose them easily

Just leave them connected to the headphones.

you can’t charge your phone if they’re connected

Dongles with an additional usb port exist.

if you disconnect your headphones the device still behaves as if they’re plugged in.

Again, leave the dongle connected to the headphones, not the phone.

It’s so much less convenient

It is less convenient, but I’d argue not by all that much. More importantly it’s not any less convenient for the vast majority who are already only using Bluetooth.

there’s just no downside to having a dedicated headphone jack

1. It’s an additional, and to most people superfluous, point for water ingress. Water damage is the most common type of damage in phones.

2. It takes up space which could be utilised otherwise, like with a slightly larger battery or larger speakers or camera modules.

3. It’s an additional part which needs to be manufactured, stocked, installed and purchased. Extra cost which only benefits a few. This is especially important to Fairphone in particular because they don’t use off-the-shelf components and promise to supply replacement parts pretty much indefinitely. I.e. Fairphone would have to design a custom module and then have that module in stock and manufactured specifically for them for the lifetime of each of their devices. That’s not a trivial expense.

expediates wear and tear on the port by a lot

How much is a lot? And good thing the usb-c port is a $15 user replaceable part then. Also dongles with two connectors exist if you specifically want to charge and use headphones at the same time.

I don’t bother with a case for this reason, haven’t broken anything so far. Just replaced the battery a couple times.

Do you happen to know whether this was before or after the camera update? The camera has been noticeably improved at some point.

Looks like AccuBattery.

So now you still do the exact same things but with a little dongle, right?
