Why? Because of drivers? Don’t they already have Linux drivers for the fairphone?

I wonder if fable or astra could wire everything up.

LLMs do not solve every problem.

You are dependent on Qualcomm for hardware firmware updates and apparently they charge quite a bit extra if you want continuous monthly security updates [1]. This is possibly one of the reasons that smaller OEMs like Fairphone do not update firmware regularly and instead choose to keep their customers vulnerable to many known CVEs.

They're getting remarkably good at reverse engineering. I wonder if the relevant firmware updates can be provided by the user or OEM or if they're blobs that have to be signed by qualcomm?

As a company that often lies, they won’t spend a single penny on this.

Unsubstantiated accusations are against the HN guidelines.
