To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you’re inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there’s no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.

Nah, watches are for timekeeping, everything else may live in my phone so I can easily place it out of reach and ignore it.

Yeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:

1. It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
2. A 3.5mm jack is cheap and trivial to build into a phone, so there’s little or no reason to not include it.

You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it’s not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they’d have to develop and keep in stock.

Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don’t get the rage either.

I’ve seen ‘sonder’ used occasionally.

They worked closely with Qualcomm on selecting a chip for this exact reason.

It has a Gold rating on ProtonDB, meaning it runs (using Proton) with only minor issues. And that’s now true for most games.
