I have been teaching my granddaughter some car diy skills. Changing brake pads replacing oil filters etc. She is a natural and picks things up super fast but what it has shown me is that we need a plethora of basic engineering skills and understanding before we start. She will make someone an excellent wife.

If people have 500+ € to spend on a fone it is more likely to be one from a mainstream manufacturer

Yea gods, what planet are they from. A clunky phone that may or may not have upgrades in the future, at that price. No way. That €500 is €480 going into poor design and low volume manufacture, or in other words, their pockets even if it is with good intent.

And of course, as pointed out many times, phones are a fashion item. Just maybe, if it turned into a cult phone it could sell a few.

This is at the end of the fixit review! So not exactly independent and getting EU money ???

Especially since Martin is going to speak to him about "the future".

Obviously after he's looked at your lappie!

it was like cotton instead of wire.

In The Good Old Days when there were shops full of ex-army gear I found the headphone leads were close to that description, the "wire" was cotton with fine gold wire woven in it. I think the cotton melted or shrank back and it could be soldered, but this was pretty thick wire.

Looks like you have the C21 version of it.
