I recently bought a projector that I had to trick into not connecting to Wifi by telling it that it was connected to ethernet until it gave up. It will never know the wifi password. It gets an HDMI signal, it shows the HDMI signal, that is its purpose.

Life is row-order; suck it, FORTRAN

Live like Gentoo, cook everything from scratch

their search function also returns primarily random, unrelated videos… I think they just don’t like people deciding what they look at

I also hate how every time I accidentally open Edge it shits a search bar onto my desktop

When does this take place? I just looked at my hosts file and the lines

are still there??

I’ve had it since 2016, so it’s close to 7 years now. I replaced the screen and battery on it, but it has been pretty solid. Actually, uptime is something that’s an advantage for self-repairable stuff: when the screen needed to be replaced, it still worked enough to use, which I did until the replacement arrived. Takes a minute to swap the screen and then it’s running again.

I’m based in Germany so I only used it in the US when traveling. Maybe the 5 will be the one where they decide to cover the US officially? It seems like there’s more attention to repairability than there was 7 years ago…

I hope it comes out soon - I’m still using my Fairphone 2 but it’s really time for it to retire
