We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here…
My only concern is that they might turn into the next Unfairphone. But for now, I’ll remain cautiously optimistic about them.

Why I was wrong about fairphone
I haven’t watched either yet, planning to do that tomorrow
I recall the fairphone 2 being touted as an open platform with support for ubuntu touch, phosh and more. There’s not a word of that with the current lineup.
Mainline being worked on for FP4: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_4_(fairphone-fp4) along with a UT port https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp4
They still have a SD card reader up to fucking 2TB but got rid of the headphone jack in favor of a little more water proofing, not my favorite decition but certainly not a reason to call the only even remotely fair phone with some actual fair trade and recycled materials and unfair…
