Conflict-Free And Easy To Repair, The Fairphone Is The World's Most Ethical Phone | Co.... - 0 views

  •  
    "The Fairphone is a modular handset designed with repairability and ethical sourcing of its materials as headline features. It sold 60,000 units. Amazingly, for what sounds like a nerd-phone, almost half of those buyers had never owned a smartphone before. Now the Fairphone 2 is launching, and with a totally-new, in-house design. The new phone is even easier to repair, and because it was wholly designed by the FairPhone team, its supply chain is even more responsible than ever. The Fairphone is thicker than the latest iPhone or Samsung flagship, but that's the point. Instead of packing everything into a tiny case and keeping it there with glue, the Fairphone is designed to be taken apart. The lightweight magnesium frame supports modules that can be easily replaced by the user. "We have designed it with an aim to last three to five years, looking at making it robust and modular-for repairability," says Fairphone's chief communications officer, Tessa Wernink. "Obviously how long it lasts depends quite heavily on the user, so what we as a company are doing is offering an ecosystem around the phone that supports long-lasting use, first-hand or second-hand." Inside the case (itself one of several options) you'll find the core unit, containing all the chips and radios; a replaceable battery pack; a display that can be snapped off and replaced without any tools (not even a screwdriver); a receiver unit, which contains the front camera, sensors; the headset connector and microphones; a speaker/vibrator unit; and a camera module. These modules are designed to balance manufacturing complexity with repairability. For instance, the display comes as a standalone unit, but less-vulnerable components are bundled into one module. The camera, which people are most likely to upgrade as better versions become available, is also housed in its own module. That way you don't need to toss out your whole phone just to get a better camera. "In fact, the motto from the maker mo

¿Cuántos esclavos trabajan para ti? - 0 views

    "El sitio Slaveryfootprint.org te deja calcular cuántos esclavos trabajan para ti en función de tus pertenencias y hábitos de consumo. Una persona de clase media en un país de desarrollo medio ha empleado a cerca de 50 eslavos en el curso de obtener sus pertenencias y consumir alimentos y energía. Si creías que vivíamos en un mundo en el que todo es democracia, gadgets que brillan pulcramente y miles de opciones en el supermercado, es hora de que despiertes. La esclavitud nunca terminó, sólo se transformó (y se ocultó detrás de los relucientes aparadores y los empaques "ecoconscientes" de la marcas más poderosas del mundo). Hoy la esclavitud existe como explotación laboral, sexual, racial; personas que son obligadas a trabajar 20 horas al día; personas que se ven forzadas a abandonar a sus hijos y realizar actos --como tener sexo-- que no desean. Se define la esclavitud como realizar un trabajo bajo amenaza de violencia sin paga o por muy poca paga. ...."

    "Mejor forma física, menos enfermedades. Y por tanto, menos riesgo para el seguro. Por este motivo, algunas aseguradoras están regalando dispositivos de salud a sus clientes para que hagan más ejercicio y sean más activos. Tal es así, que hay aseguradoras que incluso ofrecen importantes descuentos a sus clientes si estos demuestran que llevan una vida sana. Uno de los países donde la monitorización de la salud digital está en auge es China. Sin embargo, algunas personas han ideado un mecanismo para engañar a las aseguradoras y hacerles creer que hacen ejercicio cada día. Todo por seguir manteniendo una vida sedentaria e intentar obtener descuentos por la vía fácil. ..."

    "A kit to build a mechanical display that cycles through the numbers 0-9 by turning a crank. Do you love building mechanical contraptions? Complicated looking gear trains that perform some task? Then this kit is for you ! However, beware. It is not for the faint-hearted. The assembly instructions are 26 pages long. The counter comprises of well over 100 parts. If you want to take it even further you can install a motor and drive it automatically."
