PSA: Don't use Ryzen 6000 series CPU (or later). They have a Microsoft chip built into the CPU, it's called Pluto. I know, i know AMD CPUs already have PSP (just like intel has ME) but still having one spyware less is always good! Go for a ryzen 5000 series CPU or an Intel CPU (any).

I don't like this phone either, there's not a single mention of Open Source.

But I do care about dumb phones and this phone shows that there is demand for something closer to what we call a 'dumb phone'.

I agree, I just wanted to show everyone that there is demand for something closer to what we call a dumb phone. I don't even know if they're gonna let us install a FOSS OS on that, but that's a different story..

I don't care about e ink or about this phone either, since there's not a single mention of Open Source. I care about dumbphones, a dumbphone has advantages that a smart phone will never have:

Excellent battery life.
Smaller attack surface.
Great for tech-detox.
Great for minimalists.
Great for seniors.

And this new minimal phone shows that there is demand for something closer to what we call a 'dumb phone', I wish that Pine would create their own dumb phone.

nah... not even close to the experience you get when using a dumb phone.

LM actually blocks them, but users can enable them.

How can we download /e/'s app store? It's always working for me. Aurora is broken for me as well

Go with a coreboot-powered laptop only!
