Buy European

Only Fairphone 4 is currently available in the US via their US partner Murena. While I could get that one, I want to support Fairphone by boosting sales of their current model. If I were to buy one and put in a US SIM card, would I be able to make and receive calls?

I am trying to move away from US tech for ages actually and last year i transitioned from Google photos to ente. I am very happy with them but now i was checking if they are based in US.

I can't seem to figure it out. They have their corporate postal addresses in US, but also addresses in Netherlands and Finland. Also it seems that they are based thought the world and do remote work so I ma at a dilemma between accepting them as they are or having to find an alternative to them

Edit: update from Ente, and a blog post they made when they registered in the US. TLDR: they actually wanted to register in EU, but as they are fully remotely operated, EU was not able to allow for a company without a physical presence to register in any of its countries (besides Estonia). There were workarounds and hacks, to achieve this but they were not willing to use "hacks". It was more straight forward creating a Delaware C corporation instead.

Can you recommend NordPass as an european alternative to 1Password?

I recently made the switch from an iPhone 15 Pro to a Fairphone 5. After facing battery replacement issues with various Apple devices (unexplained delays and missing parts on a M1 14" MacBook Pro) and considering the current events in the US, I decided to self-host my encrypted services and move away from iCloud and iPhone.

I almost canceled my Fairphone 5 order after reading reviews online that suggested it would be slow and have a poor camera. However, I was determined to make the switch because I was tired of my iPhone software bugs. To my surprise, the Fairphone 5 has been incredibly responsive, and I haven't noticed any lag.

Regarding the camera, I believe the issue lies with the official app. I did side-by-side comparisons with the iPhone, and the Fairphone with Gcam actually outperformed the iPhone a few times, which tends to overcorrect with its software, leading to glitches, especially in videos. Once the photos are edited in RAW DNG format, the difference is barely noticeable (if even) in Lightroom.

Where the iPhone excels is in optical stabilization, and I personally prefer smaller phones like the iPhone 15, 16 or Samsung S24 / S25. While I'm very happy with my Fairphone 5, a smaller Fairphone 6 would be perfect.

For now, I've kept the stock Android OS and use a firewall along with NextDNS, as I use my phone for work and haven't had the time to switch to /e/OS. However, that's a future project. In the meantime, I'm using Fossify apps to enhance my privacy and security.

Overall, I'm thrilled with my decision to switch to Fairphone and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sustainable and ethical alternative.

ESN from Germany if you want expensive stuff, tastes pretty good though

HSN From Spain, much cheaper

Bodybuilding Depot from Germany, a bit less sweet. Bourbon Vanille Whey is pretty good.

Alpha Aktivnahrung from Germany, produces for some influencer “brands“. Milchreis-Zimt is awesome in porridge.

Edubily from Germany. Super high quality with labtests for everything. Quite expensive though

MyProtein from UK

Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

Eventhough dated (2014) these maps might be a good starting point for a closer look at supply chains and economic dependencies.

In regards to everyday products this begs the question if people could really go "cold turkey European only". It should be impossible, especially since all manufacturers rely on goods from different countries.

Which doesn't imply, that the gist of strengthening Europe is futil. But it makes clear, that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
