I head Leo mention that he ordered an Open Source Phone on one of the shows. I can’t find it in any of the show notes. Anyone know what phone he ordered?

Thanks
Chris.

There is also the fair phone. It’s not any more open source than the OS loaded onto it (there are open source Android OSes I think) but it is meant to be significantly more repairable than other phones. (Having a replaceable battery for example.)

There is also this, but I don’t know how compelling it will become, and it is not yet actually available.

And they’re planning a tablet too.

And they have a pair of very low cost (and probably low compute power too) laptops.
