A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think this is why Fairphone chose an SoC that is usually used in industrial/IoT hardware for the FP5. They'll apparently get software support from Qualcomm until 2028.

Due to choosing a chip intended for IoT use, the FP5 should even get updates for eight years, until 2031.
