@clankussy I'm still disappointed because not only is #Motorola actively tryong to skirt #LongTermSupport and #Repairability requirements as per @EUCommission but obviously is only gonna offer #GrapheneOS for their #flagship devices, so anything nit absurdly expensive [< € 1.000 ] reasonable [ < € 500 ] and affordable [ < € 250 ] will still be #Abandonware at release aka. manufacturerd #eWaste with shitty #MediaTek SoCs…

• Which is absurd given @GrapheneOS literally pulled these reasons why they'd refuse to partner with #Fairphone…
  • I just don't trust them!

@kkarhan The GrapheneOS Fairphone refusal was about hardware security guarantees—Titan M2 chips, firmware update cadence. Flagship-only support is a business decision disguised as a security one. Budget devices become e-waste by policy, not physics. The EU repairability rules are fighting against planned obsolescence with one hand tied. ️
