gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-11-27 00:38:24

Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is leading the charge, surging nearly 10% in the past 24 hours to $4,723.26, bringing its all-time high of $4,878.26 within sight.

The Fairphone (Gen. 6) Review: Better Than Ever

I have always loved the idea of the Fairphone. A fair-trade, repairable smartphone designed to be used for a long time, shedding the notion of upgrading every year or two. The idea makes it more environmentally friendly than every other phone. The goal is admirable, but the company's hardware always fell short in a few ways. The Fairphone 5, for example, had a mediocre camera and so-so performance. I've now been using The Fairphone (Gen. 6) for two weeks, and I don't feel like the phone is seve
