I’ve been running a Fairphone 6 for about 6 months now and it’s by far the buggiest phone I’ve ever used. I’d love to keep using it until the security updates stop but it’s already such a miserable experience already I can’t imagine how bad it’ll be in a few years time.
Presumably Symfonium is streaming lossless files whereas Spotify probably isn’t. That and Spotify is probably caching a lot more.
I’m tempted to give it a go but I exclusively type using swipe gestures on my phone so I’m not sure that’s a learning curve I want to commit to.
Windows 8.1 was great. My favourite iteration of Windows ever.
I liked Deezer until it’s redesign a few years ago. Now the design language is so ugly I could never consider paying for it. Their biggest flaw for me though is that some albums are just randomly not available in lossless and the only alternative is mp3 which I refuse to use in 2025. Some lossy codecs are great so why do Deezer and Qobuz still mess around with mp3?
All this energy wasted on products most people don’t even want but big CEOs think it’ll earn them loads of money so fuck the planet I guess.
What a genuinely fascinating read. Such a shame most people don’t even question what AI tells them and just assume everything is correct all the time.
Sure we should always have choice but if you’re hopping out of Microsoft’s monopoly into Google’s is there even any point?
As much as I dislike Microsoft, I see no reason for Windows users to download Chrome when Edge is right there.
The most annoying bug for me currently is the camera will sometimes just not save photos. It’ll appear as though it has worked and then later when I go to look at the photo there’s just no sign of me ever taking anything.
The second biggest annoyance would be the touchscreen simply not working sometimes until I lock and unlock the device again.
Finally we have the seemingly random lack of charging where I’ll wake up some mornings to find it hasn’t been charging at all despite being plugged in all night.
