While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?
We talked about this a while back. Curious if people’s thoughts have changed since then on the Fairphone 5.
Workplaces ban possession of Bluetooth headphones? Yeesh, lofi beats in one ear is the only thing that kept me from strangling some people as they took 15 minutes to explain “I can’t send an email and I forgot my password and I lost my phone what do I do.”
Half the appeal of Bluetooth earbuds (without the silly stems) was the secret agent appeal of giving your brain something to fixate on in stupid jobs where you stand around all day.
Unless it’s literally around dangerous machinery or something I guess?
Anyway sorry this isn’t antiwork but still lol. I like my Bluetooth earbuds, but I think headphone jacks should be standard too.
yeah ive had one that as strict about it before … they can be used as tiny wireless remote recording devices , so in places where secrecy is important Bluetooth is no good.
Also hackers have demonstrated the ability to gain remote access to a device through overpowering a bluetooth signal from as far as a kilometer away using a radio apparently.
