absquatulate

Jesus christ, a whopping 500 word article just to say: "players used to be able to earn 666 currency, now the max per season will be 700. we want more!". Is this what passes for game journalism these days?

i would be willing to overlook those cons if they just allowed an unlockable bootloader. man i miss my 6.1 with lineageos

I've been corrected on the price - looks like I was using an older quote.

I do realize that their point is to make the phone's manufacturing process fairer, but their older models were more decently priced, so I wonder how much of that tag is actually due the higher cost of manufacturing.

Still, since people switch phones a lot earlier than EoL, it would be nice if there was a way to discourage the frequent switching ( for marginal performance gains ) and instead encourage keeping smartphones until EoL ( which, granted, for some manufacturers is less than 2 years )

Yeah, just noticed the new price. It's not available in my country yet so I was quoting the one listed on gsmarena. At 700Eur it does make more sense, as it's a similar price to the old Fairphone in 8gb guise.

I really wanted to get this phone, but at 850Eur that's a hard pass from me. I could let the lack of jack and FM radio slide, as well as some design choices that they made, as sacrifices need to be made to make it modular. But I can find that hardware in phones that cost a quarter of a Fairphone. And then there is the repair cost, where the parts cost almost twice as much as getting a non-fair phone repaired at a shop (even moreso if I were to use aliexpress parts and home repair). Again, I fully expect a repairable and fair-source phone to perform worse than a regular one, but this is like paying iPhone money for a Xiaomi midranger. ~~Also, the 8 year warrranty feels like a scam because the chip they use will be out of production in 4-5 years.~~

Weren't pistachioes known for being impractical to grow in California due to the high water requirements?

As usual CNN is making out of this a bigger deal than it actually is. These are slovak parliamentaries, so it's not FPTP, therefore he didn't "win" ( yet, anyway ). This seems to be just the social-democratic party's growth from 19% in the last election to 23%, which would be in trend with growing conservative sentiment in europe. Besides, PS also grew from 8% to 18%, but that doesn't generate as many clicks as "SLOVAKIA IS NOW PRO-RUSSIA!" so it's barely a sidenote. Key takeaways are that they will have to seek coalition if they really want to pose a challenge to NATO policies.

Hey, it's Dana!

Indeed.

I have little hope that future generations will be better at running the planet. So far they appear to be arguably just as easily influenced, open to fads and greedy as their parents.

Oh hey Hungary, um, I don't wanna panic you, but there's a weird growth right next to your NE border. Better get that checked out

You might be able to run it ok. My 1660 basic manages 20-30fps on medium-high and 30+ on mostly low settings. The game still desperately needs some optimization, that's for sure.
