Software obsolescence is an ever growing problem.

Requirements for industry to provide updates for a minimum amount of time — as @rossjanderson suggests — would be a great step into the right direction.

However, even then problems persist. https://t.co/SjCDbHC8Ep

On part d'un constat :

« 1.5 milliards de téléphones sont vendus chaque année. Les déchets électroniques font partie des déchets qui augmentent le plus vite au niveau quantité ». 😱

[Fairphone Newsroom @Fairphone]

You’re probably scrolling on your phone right now… But have you ever wondered what went into making it? 📲👀

Watch our latest film, made in partnership with @wbnofficial, to see what’s really going on ‘Behind the Screens’. Watch it for free on WaterBear: https://t.co/hq7O3hbaQJ

Too many workers in the electronics industry don't earn enough to afford bare necessities for a decent life.

@Fairphone pays only $2 extra per phone so that all people working on our products earn a living wage.

Do you know someone (who knows someone, who knows someone) who knows @LeoDiCaprio? 🤔 Leo is a world famous environmentalist and with his help we want to take our message global: Keeping your phone longer reduces CO2! 🌍🌱 Help us find Leo by retweeting. 📲
So, #whoknowsleo?

Fairphone has initiated a letter signed by 60+ companies & NGOs calling on the @Europarl_EN to ensure living wages are included as a human right in the corporate sustainability due diligence directive & that their definitions should not be compromised: https://t.co/Bnj7O1p4Fb

No. No. NO. NO.

@doctorow's Attack Surface is not meant to be a documentary.

Is it?

The car industry doesn't adopt the 3rd gen chip until 2022. It's launching in the Polestar 3 this year.

Obviously, support needs to continue for this chip, even though Qualcomm killed your phone. These 820-based cars are getting Android 11, 12, etc. Why is my phone dead again?

[Franz Geiger @justfortherec]

@doctorow The publication of a new translation of Bambi that seems to put more emphasis on this interpretation is due in two weeks.
