Edit: Whoops happy birthday in 3 months then…

Happy birthday

… and now you’re getting sued due to unauthorized use of game assets…

Kind of unrelated: But what if the current year is a leap year?

This kills transfer speeds to portable SSDs.

How many people transfer files from a phone to a portable SSD? Not that many. That’s also probably why the feature was cut in the first place.

Fun Fact: The FP5 (predecessor) has USB3 but it’s effectively useless for file transfer as the internal storage has USB2 like speeds.

Fairphone 6 will get updates until at least 2033

PS: A ton of questions in the comments here can be resolved by a simple web search…

Google eventually stopped supporting the chip for newer android versions

The chip was made by MediaTek and Google just provides Android and usually no firmware support in the first place… So how exactly is this related to Google?

I don’t remember which one, but basically remote code execution was possible just by visiting a website

That sounds like a browser issue which is unrelated to the OS.

The hardware worked fine until the end, but this mess made it unusable.

Uhm what did you expect from a 1st generation smartphone made in 2013? That the software will always be up-to-date even 10 years later?

At first congratulations to your new phone.

A few questions:

• Are there any notable gaps between the screen and the side? Can you e.g. put a piece of paper between it? Asking because the predecessor had these and they required cleaning from time to time as dirt accumulated in these
• Did you test the camera yet? Are you ok with the zoom or picture quality in darkness?
• Did you get a case? How are these available currently?
• How is the sound quality?
• Did you already open the backcover? Are there any difficulties in doing so?

Todays episode of USA is wild:

Two weeks after 19-year-old Edward Coristine was viciously assaulted during a carjacking in Washington D.C., the White House says it would consider giving the administration official a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his bravery.

A 15-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy were subsequently arrested and remain in juvenile jail as the investigation continues.

Nice plot twist by the writers 10/10. Excited for the next episodes of the series.

Apart from the 80% of the entries that are basically “Crashed during bad weather” - my personal highlights:

… breaks loose from its mooring during a storm and is blown over the English Channel; after sightings in Wales and Ireland and a brief touchdown in Belfast, the airship was blown out over the Atlantic Ocean and is never seen again.

Zeppelin LZ 8 Deutschland II (brand new) is caught by a wind gust while being walked out of its hangar and damaged beyond repair after it smashes on the roof of the hangar.

… the airship, weighed down with gold and burgundy paint, reached 600 feet altitude before beginning an unplanned right descending turn, making a “controlled descent” into a garbage dump, impaling the blimp on a pine tree, coming down just a quarter-mile from the site of the Hindenburg’s 1937 demise.

… suffers an intentional mid-air collision with a radio-controlled airplane.
