#fairphone4 — Public Fediverse posts

I've been using the Fairphone 4 for the past month, since my old phone started expanding. (You don't want your phone to expand! 😱)

It's running /e/OS (a deGoogled Android fork built on LineageOS), since Murena's the Fairphone's only US reseller. I like the repairability, but it's a bit clunky (not to mention an older model). Fortunately my bank apps work with microG, and once I signed into Google (I know, I know) I can use apps I've paid for. But it doesn't handle system-level in-app purchases (yet?).

I've written up a pair of reviews with more details, one of the hardware and another focusing on the /e/OS software.

Lilbits: Atari and Intellivision made a retro console (kind of), Google’s Privacy Sandbox is gone for good, and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Select with Vega OS is a lot more locked down

Atari and Intellivision have a few things in common. They were two of the first big players in the home video game console space. And neither brand is what it once was anymore.

So while it’s intriguing to see that Atari is launching a new retro console called the Intellivision Sprint, this is really a partnership between the company that now owns the rights to the Atari name and retro game […]

Nearly a month has gone by and Murena still hasn't responded to a support ticket regarding issues with the App Lounge. The update to 2.0 seems to have fixed that issue but I'm having issues with a few apps. I've had the phone for 3 or 4 months now and still haven't felt comfortable switching over to it full time. eOS has a lot of promise but they are drastically over selling its capabilities and don't seem to want to respond to customers. I'm considering putting LineageOS on it..... It'll void my warranty but what good is a warranty if you can't even get a response on a support ticket?

The hardware of the FP4 is pretty great from what I've been able to tell. Feels very solid and the screen looks incredible.
