• If you want to see range in daily use under real conditions, have a look at the Elektrotrucker videos. 600 kWh trucks usually have enough range to be practicable in daily long range hauling in Europe. If that above battery solution can boost the total capacity to around 900 kWh, 700 km range, with 42 tons total weight, ie a quite typical load is realistic under at least mild conditions (18°C) in certainly relevant configurations. Sure, wind, weather, geography and other factors can play a role. But there are countless scenarios and the technology is very new. Which is why if you are interested in real scenarios, not just optimal or nice weather ones, have a look at those e-truckers that are long holing already today and their experiences.

• The e Actros 600 with a slightly smaller battery manages 500 km at full load (well 40t out of a max allowed 44t total weight). This is probably with good weather. That Scania should get further. So it makes no sense to assume that this Scania wouldn’t have a longer range.

• e-trucking is already way beyond that. As mentioned before, a German youtuber “Elektrotrucker” is showing his daily work as long distance e-trucker, driving all across Europe, on non predictable routes, commercially and competitively, not just for fun.

  Contrary to popular belief, the infrastructure in Europe is already good enough for that.

• Hans-Adam II might have near dictatorial powers, within the constitutional monarchy, but only one with a self destruct button. The citizens of Liechtenstein can initiate a process that forces a referendum on the abolition of the monarchy and he does not have a veto to that. Unlike Russia, people working towards that goal will also not disappear in some Gulag. That is the difference to a dictatorship.

  Zelenskyy hasn’t suspended elections. The constitution itself suspends elections during war time. That is not indefinitely either, unless you are suggesting that Russia is planning to send its citizens to their death in the hundreds thousands per year for eternity. Other democracies have suspended elections while being invaded as well. That is actually rather the norm than the exception.

• Correct me but they are not unregulated but rather their misuse for datacenters, coupling dozens together to create health threatening emissions is not legal. At least it wasn’t until US authorities rubber stamped that environmental crime. Why else would data centers have hidden their use and lied about them, not just towards the public but also towards authorities?

• The EU is not a country, yet it does stuff that otherwise countries do, like legislating and judicating privacy laws. The correct term would have been “other political entity” but what is the point of that word picking again?

  Like any political entity the EU can do many things at once, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Different institutions also have different interests. The Commission isn’t the primary driver behind chat control, a number of member states are. At the same time EU courts tend to be staunchly opposed to mass surveillance and in the European Parliament it depends on the party.

• Thinking you have to use the terminal for installing programs can only mean you don’t know anything about modern user friendly Linux distros. You manage to install stuff on an iOS or Android phone as well, without downloading random files from random sites and then launching random installers, do you? You can do it thesame way on Linux.

  The thing is, if you want to, you can also use the terminal. Many prefer it because you can be faster and the command is not rocket science. Which is fine too. Whatever you prefer.

  on GrapheneOS project: pixel 11 no longer supports hardware memory tagging (MTE); GrapheneOS might skip the the whole pixel 11 series in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026

• I can’t see how that is possible without compromising on their security requirements. The hardware isn’t the problem here, that could be overcome, the extremely rapid firmware updating reqirement is. That needs huge resources, hence they are using so far a device from the huge comoany behind the Android ecosystem. Already Motorola, another huge compaby is stretchung that requirement, as tgey are not sitting at the source of that ecosystem.

  Again, I am not defending GrapheneOS’ choice, just describing their dilemma

• Well, than you should read what GOS developers have to say about that, they are pretty clear on it. They absolutely do not accept any compromise on that, even if that means being forced to rely on cooperation by big corporations for hardware and firmware. I don’t even judge that, it is just merely how it is.

  on GrapheneOS project: pixel 11 no longer supports hardware memory tagging (MTE); GrapheneOS might skip the the whole pixel 11 series in c/technology@lemmy.world · 31 Aug 2026

• They can’t. They require extremely up to date firmware and very short update cycles. Only large corporations with huge phone platforms are able to do satisfy that.

• I don’t know why you have to resort to ad hominem.

  I already pointed out a downside of a headphobe jack. It needs soace, as a fairly large socket, also the DAC reqires space, even though less so. Now it is entirely reasonable to think that it is totally worth that and I do support having that choice but I personally have no need for it, I prefer using that space for a larger battery.

  You consider the battery increase insignificant but even if it is just 1%, it makes more sense to me tgan having a feature I don’t need.

• Ok, so no argument left and going straight to ad hominem.

  I don’t even own a Fairphone, nor any iOS, Android or Android based phone. But I guess I am a corpo simp because I am fine with the jack and DAC real estate being rather used by a bigger battery.

• I don’t know where you are but in the EU 23 EUR for the AD1 is a ridiculous price. Even Amazon.de (that ships most of its stuff across the EU) charges not more than 18 EUR something and that already includes shipping.

  The Linsoul store sells them for 8.09 EUR netto. For orders above 17 EUR without shipping fee. What you pay depends on how it is handled (assuming you are im the EU). Worst case is 10 EUR incl. VAT + 3 EUR small purchase tariff, the latter is less than shipping within the EU. So yes, the AD1 us absolutely in a comparable price league as the Apple dongle.

• Except that this is exactly what at least one of the leading developers is doing by harassing threads that are about other projects, with all sorts of loaded language, insinuations of nasty motives, Russian influence and what not.

  All of that does nothing to achieve GrapheneOS’ goals.

  I have no issue at all with GrapheneOS stating that FP6 is not an option because this hardware feature is missing or that firmware update routine being insufficient. That is not what I am talking about here.

• The kiwi dongle is pretty much the same price as the apple dongle, about 10 EUR. More powerful DACs in the lighter format are more expensive but they are also more powerful than what you’d usually find in a phone with headphone jack.

  Yes, the ksc75 is not an IEM, I had to look it up. I was only talking about IEMs before.

  In the age of the internet buying DACs is a non issue.

  on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026

• I have yet see the need to use iems with excessive power requirements where they end up “rather quiet”, my Kiwi dongle DAC can blow my ears out if I were to long for it. If you do have a need for that, just upgrade the DAC to your extraordinarily high power reqirements. Lighter sized DACs pack a much stronger punch and can facilitate your early deafness if that is your preference. USB-C gives you that flexibility. All of those solutions are perfectly portable, you also don’t need to carry a separate part, just keep it connected.

  I am not defending a"greedy decision", the only downside for most people is a bit more wear on the USB-C port and that is a minor issue given how reasonably priced the replacement part is and how easy it is to install.

  on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
