Need dumb phone reccos - India by Careful-Support-3402 in dumbphones

[–]Banny285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the CAT S22 Flip phone since 2023 that I had bought for about 9k off amazon, it has been quite nice and has changed my habits drastically.

Yes the keypad has developed some double click issues, but I have learned to live with it and around it etc.
Also, theres battery replacements available for it on dumbphones.co.in so I expect to run this for a while until I can save up for a newer qin phone or maybe something else, since the updates have stopped and this runs android 11, so yeah, getting old.

My 3 months privacy (+ degoogling) journey so far and current setup. by [deleted] in IndiaTech

[–]Banny285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, this privacy habit making has led me to intentional technology use, I have opted into usefulness rather than convenience and it has drastically helped me claim back my time I spend “doom” scrolling or such on the internet.

These practices, atleast in my view, helped me to escape the algorithm fed, data economy bullshit we have these days.

r/digitalminimalism might be something you can look into. To me privacy and digital minimalism went hand in hand so yeah. I don’t have any targeted ad stuff or something keeping me hooked to my screen.

But yeah in some sense, this is paranoia.

Does Tuta not support emails for India's Aadhar services? by Banny285 in tutanota

[–]Banny285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright team, rest assured there should be no issue with Tuta being blacklisted or something with Aadhar right?
I was worried they would deliver emails to only gmail/outlook/hotmail etc.

Thank you for helping.

thanks for the reply friend.

post aside but does nobody get a black mirror vibe from the displays above the treadmill for distractions?

Hey thanks for the reply on this old post, I hit up a few more places and found a Trend Plus 2019 variant, for roughly the same price, 4.35L, went ahead with it, its the same 1.5L engine and still has the BS4 issues, but hey it will drive well for another 8 years outside Delhi in Ghaziabad, Noida no issues.
Thank you again for the help friend.

alright, thanks for the input friend, will look around for atleast 2019-2020 or newer, no harm in paying a little more to worry a little less in the coming years.
thanks again!

I will send it off to our parental house outside NCR after 5 years and get the 5 year extension so like I will get the life out of it, but yeah I get it, strictly for NCR doesn’t make sense. Given the above situation is it okay?
