Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.

[the Verge] - The Fairphone 5 is a little more repairable and much more modern (www.theverge.com)

A little bigger, eight years of support, ability to repair when things break. Still no headphone jack and the AMOLED display is a regression. Expensive but doesn't use slave labor so that's good. I'll stick with the FP4

Well I wouldn’t really now as my employer is giving/forcing me to have a new one every 2 years.

But yeah you can feel that the hardware is good.

Still I can’t say I would buy anything from Apple with my own money (except an end of life Mac to put Linux on it for cheap).
