I like the aim and ethos, but not so much the design (other than interesting modularity) and certain things rub me the wrong way. And the pricing is just very out of line.

In the end, I’ll just continue to do what I have been and keep old laptops running as long as possible. Have been using old IT-recycled housings or eBay purchases of “just the right thing” and swapped parts around, rebuilt the OS, etc. That’s where much of the fun is anyway, heh.

I do wish the Fairphone were easier to come by in the US, tho.

Has interesting possibilities, to be sure. But a whole lot of the harder sci-fi stuff seem to really fall off a cliff before the end. XD

Daughter weeping over mama’s “two week reset” doesn’t land quite right for me, tho. I can understand a bit of confusion, but her trade-off is between “dead mama” and “minorly reset mama.” And they knew what they were getting into by making the backup to begin with.

Needed a much bigger discrepancy/timeframe involved to sell it. Like, if the backup happened a year+ prior, not merely a couple weeks.
