HägringarDoes anyone know a <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/dumbphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dumbphone</a> that actually works? I've been using Nokias for ages, but since HMD Global took over the software suck smegma out of the ass of Hitler and is unusable. I've tried a few different brands like CAT's tough phone, but the problem persists.I want a dumbphone that is reasonably tough, has good battery life, good call quality, good for texting with, and that has a calendar and calculator function.<a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/phones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phones</a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/askmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askmastodon</a>

LorenzoBuondì! Sto valutando un feature phone per un po' di digital detox. Mi orienterei su un usato, ma non troppo obsoleto (tipo necessito di usb-c, calendario e contatti sincronizzabili). Usato su questo stile ho trovato alcuni HDM 3210.ho visto questo progetto, un po' fuori portata ma interessante <a href="https://www.sidephone.com/?rdt_cid=4935945450990890228" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sidephone.com/?rdt_cid=4935945450990890228</a>Esiste qlc di simile?

G.I.

All Europeans 🇪🇺Today we're going to talk about something that one of us has considered buying in the past, but opted for a smartphone with /e/OS instead. But since we like the concept and design, let's talk about Punkt 🇨🇭, the "detox" and pro-privacy smartphone 📱.Do you think we really need all those apps that are installed in our smartphones?In our world of "app-obesity", Punkt offers a breath of fresh air with a simpler approach to technology.Petter Neby 🇳🇴, a Norwegian entrepreneur, founded Punkt in 2008, a company that create products that focus on the things we really need without any of the distractions we don't.Punkt is based in Switzerland 🇨🇭, it had around 50 employees and offers 2 different mobile models:The 1st is the MC02. It has basic digital tools and focuses on privacy and security - email, calendar, contacts, notes, storage and a built-in VPN. They have an agreement with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Threema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Threema</a>, which comes pre-installed. This model has a subscription and costs around CHF 12/month (1st year free).The 2nd one, the MP02, is a classic <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dumbphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dumbphone</a>. The interface is 100% text-based, with no icons, and it has the most basic functions of a telephone.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Punkt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Punkt</a> devices use AphyOS, an OS based on <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrapheneOS</a> developed by Apostrophy AG 🇨🇭 ( <a href="https://www.apostrophy.ch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.apostrophy.ch</a>).Check their website to see all features:<a href="https://www.punkt.ch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.punkt.ch</a>

Debacle<a href="https://mstdn.social/@DM_Ronin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DM_Ronin</a> True!Btw. between dumping my Android and buying the Linux phone, I had a <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/dumbphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dumbphone</a> for some years. Some of my non-tech, non-geek friends still have one, too. They like it better than a <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphone</a>, because it's less addictive and they wouldn't store their life on the device (or the connected cloud services, that is).Might be an option, if you don't need Android for banking apps.Problem with banking apps is, that they might refuse to run on "rooted" devices 😠

Dave🌱I've been curious about the Duoqin F22 (non-pro) for a while, but was hesitant to try it as I had already experimented with several, let's say "non-traditional" phones, and kept going back to my also not traditional Unihertz Jelly Star, which I've been using as my daily phone for the past two years or so.Well, curiosity got the better of me.

Debacle<a href="https://ohai.social/@s1m0n4" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@s1m0n4</a> At least when I travel for <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/vacation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vacation</a>, I do not bring any "connected device" with me. Otherwise my <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/holidays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#holidays</a> would be spoiled.I.e. no <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/computer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computer</a> and no <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smartphone</a>.
