    I fear smartphones will soon be subscription only. It will essentially be a touch screen with a battery and a dumb chip that lets you stream everything via cloud, even your own menu. Updates will rarely happen to your device but from the cloud side too, meaning you don‘t get to skip a faulty update. Everything will be vibe coded too and as soon as you cancel your subscription your data is locked away in some data center. This is the bright AI future they keep telling us is inevitable.

    Thought about buying a fairphone since my nothing phone 1 hade a vad battery and no more updates. But then I ordered a new battery för 20€ and installed lineageOS instead
