Wow, I was really sure Fairphone is assembled in Europe.

Haha, nice :)

According to bits and crumbles of information I found, the actual assembling seem to be happening in Europe, though the components are the coming from various sources, including China and (mostly) US.

I definitely see your point, though in my eyes, having phone designed in Poland and assembled in Europe is infinitely times better than an iPhone, which is designed in US, and assembled in China in extremely unclear work conditions, or Xiaomi which is 100% China. Especially if it is a product prioritizing conscious usage.

Yeah, the line of Trump politics was kind of obvious from the beginning, unfortunately. Sadly majority of US voters did not see it through before, and continue "not looking up" :'(

It is using Android as a base OS, my guess is it should have it out of the box.

I have few hypothesis:

  1. They know what they are doing, and the goal of current actions is to make rich americans even richer (at the cost of whole other world). Because any kind of crisis causes the same thing: poor gets poorer, rich gets richer (with some level of shuffling in place).
  2. They are approaching things using the "startup approach", using the Zucks motto "move fast and break things", without taking a second to think things through.
  3. They truly believe that those things will make it better (which I strongly disagree with, because things will get better only after any of those tariffs are lifted, regardless if it happens after the current market storm stabilizes or before)

Neither option has anything good about it, though I am not sure if it makes sense to speculate about reasoning anyways: both hypothesis give mostly similar "next steps" predictions. My take is that next steps will be advancing even more towards "america only", either by NATO speculation (which have already started), or by getting closer with the russian regime, or anything else.

 

I am not related in any way with the company, and I am looking forward to it: the phone promises to be a good e-ink smartphone, with huge focus around conscious usage.

It is really sad to admit that for me LinkedIn actually was useful: even though I was contacted by spammy recruiters, the matching ones were there too.

I wish other services were more popular in Europe, example being https://djinni.co/ — an anonymous job/candidate board built in Ukraine. I really liked the service in the past, though EU-based companies usually do not pos jobs there…

If you haven’t set a password before, then it should be the default one: empty. Then, to use sudo you will need to set one by using passwd command.

In case if the password was set in the past: the only way would be to run factory reset, or restore from image.
