Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

Reply in thread

I thought we would see more custom Roms honestly. CalyxOS shows upcoming but still seems to be unavailable. What really concerns me about fairphone is their delay in Software updates. The FP6 releases June of last year, the same month as Android 16. It took them until March of '26 to release Android 16 for the FP6. That is quite a large gap. Software support is as important as hardware support and unfortunately not a single manufacturer seems to nail them both.

"Tipflation" may be causing tipping backlash as more digital prompts ask for tips

My general guide for tipping

  1. traditional service industry where their employer pays them $2/hr. YES, but I wish your employer would just pay you. I'm still tipping not going to punish their employer for that but seriously try not to even go to these places anymore.
  2. Other traditional services industries, barbor, nail salon,etc. Yes as appreciation. They personally took care of me so yeah.
  3. Baristas, it any other ipad station. NO. They are paid a standard wage. I might drop my change in a tip jar every now and then when paying cash but that's it.
  4. Food trucks and other independently owned stores. Generally No. Food trucks are independently owned and not service industry. If they need more money charge more for the food.
