I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.

Isn’t fair phone a for profit company? If it is, doesn’t change much.
If it is a non-profit, then that’s even better, lets get some philanthropist on it.
Tain c’est joli au final.
Can some investor pour 100 million or something into fairphone so the phones actually become good?
I mean that’s biology. We can do some pretty cool stuff, but we just don’t understand how so much in the human body works. It’s so fucking complex.
I worked as an intern at a lab studying octopus vulgaris.
They are extremely sensitive to all sorts of things in the water. Keeping them well is very difficult. Although I would imagine if there are big but gradual changes in water environment, they would have a chance of adapting faster due to short life cycles and the fact that mating creates hundreds of thousands of eggs.
Interesting read.
their tech can help with paralysis, brain diseases, and beyond.
You shouldn’t claim that when there have only been 2 trials both with minuscule sample sizes.
the brain implant cannot be removed
It better be good then.
But they
- Have extremely short lifespan so a limited capacity to learn (1-2 years)
- Don’t raise their offspring, in fact after mating/laying eggs they naturally die, so no knowledge sharing
- Are extremely solitary and don’t have social bonds or do anything socially, so little communication/passing of knowledge
Yeah, “behavioural” can sound like it just means people who are antisocial or something, but it includes MDD, schizophrenia, dementia, parkinsons etc.

I used to love taking transit as a disabled person (when it was accessible), but now my condition has worsened so bad I cannot travel without being horizontal. Which means I need to pay caregivers to take me to medical appointments by car.
Interesting. Makes me wonder if it might play a role in some physical illnesses we haven’t found a cause for yet, especially immune mediated ones.
My friend told me in 3 years he had to buy 3 different batteries.
