No, electric vehicle sales aren’t dropping. Here’s what’s really going on
  • IMO its a great idea right now because IIRC 90% of round trips are 50 miles or less. So if you have a 200 mile battery, 75% of it is dead weight most the time. PHEVs remove the range anxiety present in most parts of the US with poor charger networks. Plus if battery manufacturing becomes a bottleneck in the near future it will be good to reduce the amount needed per car.

    Maybe in the future good charger networks and much cheaper batteries will solve the problem but for the next 20 years I think PHEVs will fill an important role.

    Linus reviewed (roasted) our phone | Fairphone reacts
  • Most people aren't comfortable with flashing unofficial ROMs onto garbage bin phones. I'm unironically glad that you have rescued a perfectly good phone but that's just not a scalable solution IMO. Buying a used phone that you know has a lineage ROM is a more viable path but you're still back to square one if the battery or port or screen give up on you.

  • Yes of course. The point of this phone is to trade cost/perf/etc for improved repairability and business ethics. Long software support is a prerequisite for repairability being useful.

    This phone isn't for people looking primarily for best value.

    Shamima Begum: Woman who joined ISIS as a teen loses challenge against the removal of her UK citizenship
  • My dude, ISIS was literally burning people alive in cages. That's not even the worst thing they've regularly done. They are literally evil incarnate.

    Hamas is not as bad but that's really not saying much. They still actively want to commit genocide. ANYONE who openly calls for genocide is a piece of shit in my book.
