They'll be cheap, but weighing more and taking up more space is not that viable of a trade off. Except for hybrid vehicles.

For me, phones have never not been diy repair outside of the ones with parts pairing, on the paired parts. But I know I'm very much the exception to the rule. I have a lot of equipment and experience doing it.

As to the fairphone 5....it's not really a US phone. You'd have to import it and have no warranty with it. Not a good deal for how much they are and what they're specd at.

FYI, as of January 1st 2025 both Oregon and Colorado have banned paired parts in smartphones from being sold there. So that shit practice should be going away. The EU has been doing the same.

Too much weight. Thus far, electric semi trucks aren't viable outside of shorter range delivery fleets.

EVs are already too heavy and wear tires out quickly. The upcoming solid state batteries are what will go into future EVs. Samsung is producing them right now and they're currently set to start going in higher end E vehicles in 2027. At best the sodium ion batts may be good for hybrids.

These will be useless for EV's, but great for storage. They aren't energy dense enough for what the EV market needs.

Samsungs solid state EV batteries are currently the only positive step towards EV replacement and production vehicles are set to start rolling out around 2027. They're supposed to be lighter, last more cycles, charge faster, more energy dense, and safer than current EV liquid lithium batteries.

The sodium ion batteries will be great for large scale solar storage and house/business solar storage. They should let someone build a solar powered house that could continuously run completely off grid without needing to use lithium batteries that would need replaced every 10 to 15 years.

Step one. Install Linux Mint.

For many, but I already know how to fix my phones and have all the equipment to do it. Plus, re0airabilith is slowly starting to leech back into the market by means of being forced into it by the government.

Personally, I just want my damned microsd card slots back. I've been a samsung note fan for ages because I like the s pen. I'm currently using the last one made with a card slot. The n 20 ultra.

HTC just came back from the android grave and released a nice mid tier phone with a headphone jack and an SD card slot for just $600, but im not ready to give up my s-pen yet. My phone will still be plenty good for the next couple of years, and I'm hoping a company like HTC makes a successful comeback with card slots. I'm more willing to give up my s pen than give up my storage slot.

Your analogy is terrible. The cooker still works. Does the icemaker still work without the apk? If so, then what good is the apk on an icemaker in a fridge?

Yeah. I've used sous vide for a long time myself. Sounds like the whole apk could be replaced with asking the internet what temp to cook X at, and then setting your phones timer for cook time.

Sounds like windows changed your audio driver. I'd download the most recent audio driver available through nvidia, then uninstall your current audio driver in device manager and manually install nvidias.

That's pretty odd. Did you try turning it off and on again?

Well they're on v3 now and this ends the version 1, so I doubt they've sold the v1 for the past 5 years or so, but again, it's not an apk that you need to use it. If it were a device like a garage door opener that let's you open/close or see when the door is opened or closed I'd be bitching up a storm. Same if it were like a door deadbolt to lock/unlock your front door. But a water cooker? What do you need the apk for? It couldn't functionally do anything over bluetooth to be of any help.
