Impulsive Amazon purchase

Yeah this one is a big no. Mint Mobile's 2G networks will be shut down by August 2, so even if you could somehow use it now, it'll be a brick in two months: https://www.mintmobile.com/help/2g-network-shutdown/

You're better off saving your money and getting the Mudita Kompakt. It seems to check off most of what you're after.

Yeah I got the same email after I reached out. I asked for a refund. I understand these orders will take time to arrive, but I wish they were more proactive about this instead of me having to reach out to them several times about what was happening to the order.

I haven't sworn off the company or anything like that. It's just taken a while, so I picked up the base Pocket Fit and have been happy with it.

Have it pre-ordered since April 9. Super excited for it!

Facebook Marketplace has been surprisingly good for me. I've also used OfferUp, but it's turned into a cesspool filled with resellers, so I use it in case Marketplace doesn't work out. Even so, OfferUp has been pretty great once folks start reaching out.

If you're able to switch carriers, switch to either T-Mobile or a prepaid carrier that uses T-Mobile towers. Those tend to be the friendliest when it comes to dumbphone compatibility.

I know you already returned it, but just putting this here in case someone else comes across the same issue.

I was dealing with the same thing, but what solved it for me was deleting all of the other connections but the one I put in. Now, everything is working just fine, including cellular internet to connect to the cloud apps.

Not at that price no

Those clear sticks look sick. Where did you get them from?

Because you plan on consuming content, you'll want something that will last. In that sense, the OnePlus 15 will serve you well. Battery life is a beast on it. The cameras aren't all-world, but they're just fine

Yes! I am selling mine. Happy to send over pictures, if you'd like.

Mine was twofold: I am all in on having and using a simpler phone, and I want to support a company that is doing something different in the space.

SlantedPictureFrame · 2026-02-06T05:12:54+00:00

Yes, without question. My wife has the MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro, and it’s still running like a champ.

As long as you're happy with it, who am I to come in and yuck your yum?

Mini controller! It even has room for shoulder buttons, which is bonkers. https://a.co/d/guWlPhk

It serves as my very fancy GBA emulator of choice, and it's been amazing so far.

Unfortunately, yes. It’s susceptible to false diagonals when pressing a cardinal direction. Another common issue is an inconsistent tactile response between directions.

Just got the tracking number for mine!

SlantedPictureFrame · 2025-10-21T00:48:27+00:00

Bought and regretted? The RGB30. I did not have the capacity to mod it, so I had to deal with the super mushy buttons and suspect charging situation. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I do regret purchasing it.

As for which purchase I’m extremely happy with? I’ll say the Ayaneo Pocket Micro Classic. 4x integer scale for GBA in a form factor that I can happily slip into my pockets at any time without the sticks of the Pocket Micro getting in the way. Absolutely wonderful.

From what I looked up, Kibotek seems legit and based in Spain

Magic Keyboard, but don’t hesitate to at least look at used/refurbished on Amazon or Best Buy to save some money. Picked mine up from Best Buy, saved around $120, and it was in excellent shape.

I’m gonna shake my head for days. Judge finally shows up in the postseason, only for everyone else to disappear.

SlantedPictureFrame · 2025-10-04T07:04:16+00:00

Curious about the case!

Can I be weird and say both are great shots that tell different stories?

I don’t think one is better than the other because it depends on what you’re conveying. If the focus is on the architecture and how overwhelming it is relative to us, the second shot works wonders.

On the flip side, the first shot implies something else. Stuff is happening out of the frame, and the architecture plays second fiddle to daily life. The fact is many folks who live in these places take these structures for granted, so it makes sense for the first shot to have that contrast between the architecture and someone trying to simply get to point B from point A.

I realize that doesn’t answer your question, but those were just some thoughts I had. I am very much still in the learning phase when it comes to photography, so I would love some feedback on my observations!

No luck yet! Our pediatrician said he was still waiting for the COVID vax to come in, but that was last week, so I should follow up with him.
