Closest I found is this at 188 EUR (!). The electronics are probably non-European and they’re just assembled in France.

They also have regular one time password two factor authentication (6 digit code every 30s) for a while now, in case you tried them while it was still the weird “PIN + OTP” thing
The keypad lock feature is really bad. You know the feature in smartphones where even on the lockscreen there is an “emergency call” button, so anyone can call? In the HMD candybar phones, you can just press “9” and it bypasses the keyboard lock. So if you put the phone in a bag and the buttons get pressed randomly, eventually it will reach “999”. Then it’s a matter of the green call button being randomly pressed and it calls the ambulance.
The emergency team even called me back asking why do I keep calling and do I need help, as they wanted to block my number from calling them.
HMD used to manufacture (I don’t think they’ll release any new Nokia phone till the end ofthe year) phones using the Nokia brand, because Nokia licensed it to them. The license ends with the end of this year. From that point on HMD will make devices under their own brand.
Misleading title.
By the way, if you still want to use google’s search engine but want to avoid the AI stuff, see https://udm14.com/ or just add &udm=14 to your search query
On a journey like this what I found most difficult is not to go insane. With search engines sucking (though you can narrow down google to look only in EU) it’s sometimes really annoying to find every little item from an EU company. I still buy used non-EU clothes on Vinted, because who cares, they’re already there. Patagonia is cool despite being an US company, so they get a pass.
Finally it’s obviously a bit more expensive to buy European. But then again workers in Portugal, Bulgaria or Austria have completely different working conditions than their peers in Bangladesh.
Things have a base price. The fact that you can buy a t-shirt for 5 euro doesn’t mean that this is how much it “should” cost. It means that the company cut every corner possible to nuke the price to an absurdly low level, where it’s downright unhealthy to the ecosystem/industry at that price. It’s not that the made in EU clothes are expensive, it’s just that the price is just right if European manufacturing and natural/recycled materials are important to you.
Wonder if this problem will be “solved” with Qi2 (magnetic charging) in the future. Pixel 10 is supposed to have it if we’re talking Android. Otherwise with 2 USB-C ports you have Lenovo Legion 2 Pro and Lenovo Legion Y90 but that’s not mainstream
You have been visited by the USB-C port. This post is now protected against headphone jack jihadists
I agree. FP needs to walk a fine line between ethics and being profitable. In FP threads people keep making demands instead of being able to compromise
You worked to create a phone made with ethical factory conditions which no one else does? How nice! Wait, what do you mean it doesn’t have a headphone jack/ is too big?! I don’t care about the people anymore
Same with people saying “the price is not worth it for a mid tier phone” yes of course it’s not, you’re partly paying for how it’s manufactured, which has no direct benefit to you as a user. This is an ethical purchase. Recycled cotton t-shirts made in Germany cost 40 euro, I wonder why?
“As soon as the incident was detected, our teams blocked access to the affected system and tightened our security measures.”
whew thank god, nothing to see here /s
i would totally post to my wall on socials in 2013
Which is cheaper:
How is this obvious?
I don’t get Tusk why the first bill sent to the new president had to be “trapped”. He knew Nawrocki doesn’t like the wind turbines but he knew that his campaign promise was to lower electricity prices. So Tusk decided to put sweet and sour candy in the same package.
It’s like he wanted the first message from the govt to be “f- you, I know right now we’re not gonna have a good time anyway”. In a few months they’ll start saying something that the govt and president can’t cooperate. That would probably happen regardless, but it’d be funny - “we treated him with hostility and now the relations are bad”
Industry vulnerable to lack of investor money does badly when there is no investor money
we should improve society somewhat
It’s likely a Dell 2725QE, I have the exact same one because it’s (or “was” if something new came out) the only choice with the new generation of the IPS Black panel (that has 120FPS) and a USB hub. Samsung (that owns the technology) hasn’t released anything yet when I was buying mine.
Forgejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ – inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge)
In any way that creates social capital/community in real life. I don’t mean counter-patrols. It’s just that a patrol happens to be social capital (of the bad kind)
I get the same feeling watching the Warner-Discovery owned Polish TV station “TVN”.
Trump something something Washington
Bro who cares this is Europe?

Though it would be nice to just use the e-mail alias service from your existing e-mail provider (as you describe with mailbox) rather than buying another 3rd party service.
