The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…

If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

Ten years is an extremely long time in tech and we might not even be using phones as we currently know them by then.

It might not be. Consider that moore’s law is coming to an end. I fully expect more and more products to be cloud based and ai based. I don’t think ai can run on our phone even in the near future. Battery is another issue, you can’t afford to run too much stuff on it.

We as consumers now need to adjust to the ending moore’s law.

God I hope so. I’m sick of consumer tech constantly being in a marketing cycle

To me it doesn’t look like that long a time for another revolutionary piece of tech to make its way, but what do you think would be the next big thing?

Hmm, I’m very doubtful that could be reasonably priced so soon, but we’ll see I guess
