Ever since I learned about the Fairphone, I keep trying to figure out when they’ll release the Fairphone 5.
Further, I keep wondering whether it’ll be usable easily and realistically by Verizon, since there’s some complications with Fairphone being based in the Netherlands, but I believe generally supported across Europe since so much of their website is in English.
Just about anything I find over on Reddit seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable.
Anybody know many details about when it might come out, and whether it’ll be supported here in the US??
So the interface to the computer is your first point. I see a future where wearable glasses, dockable phones: so you can use a big monitor when you’re at home, some sort of projection, e-ink displays, are going to become much more usable.
Identity, either through a phone or some other mechanism. Phones can’t really guarantee identity, they can take factors that are hard to duplicate, to indicate identity but they can’t guarantee it. So fingerprint is a good example, the phone knows your fingerprint, you apply your finger to the fingerprint reader, and you validate to the phone you’re probably the person registered.
Access Management, once you have established identity then you want to delegate access in your example for a few hours to a car, or some other mechanism. Given that most computers are network nowadays, if you’re reasonably happy with the identity provided by a phone, access management of a car is trivial. We could probably set something up today that does what you want.
Heck Toro the Airbnb for cars does something like it already. Your phone unlocks the car and etc etc etc
I think I had seen something about Toro a while ago, but couldn’t figure out what the heck they are/were, but I didn’t bother looking into it since I actively try to minimize my consuming. I totally wouldn’t have guessed “AirBnB for cars,” but assumed finance, since that seems to be like half the dang companies that advertise somehow
