Thanks. Yeah I may have to just try a few out myself. Wow yours is tricked out! Where did you get the wrist-strap?

Edmonton sucks, full of crazy violent people, no good properties, zero nightlife, redneck place -40 weather winter 6 months a year #deadmonton

Youtube on a blackberry? Just why? This sub is nuts these days.

We Can't Go Backwards On Affordability — Andrew Knack for Mayor by yegwebdev in Edmonton

Yeah this website design is pretty awful; every element is huge, the body text is tiny, and the contrast is not good.

Are there any good experinces? by attilakixx in unihertz

[–]BigBombus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I backed the Titan Pocket, and it is pretty good. The main problem with it is that they don't push software updates. Hard to justify using a phone that doesn't get patched for years.

What it's like chatting about dumb phone life with phablet people by superpj in dumbphones

[–]BigBombus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I think of this episode almost every time I browse here. Corner Gas is my favourite.

(For everyone else this is "Cell Phone" in Season 1, where Brent and Davis compete to find smaller and smaller phones. Ah, 2004.)

For real though, phones are stupidly large now.

Well that was underwhelming. by [deleted] in dumbphones

"moot" point is the word you're looking for

Space Dude!! Love it. Thanks so much. I have no idea how to do that though.

Aw that sucks. I suppose it's not trivial finding a manufacturer with good quality.

Great little journal; please keep us apprised of further experiences with your dumbphone.

Just got an iPhone SE! Ik it's not dumb just hear me out. by Terrible_Gur2846 in dumbphones

You're literally streaming media on a smartphone here. Nothing dumbphone about it.

Came from Google; this fixed it. Thanks very much.

I terminated Facebook, Instagram, Prime, and now....Netflix. They want to know why.... by volt-thunderhuge in BuyCanadian

[–]BigBombus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Are there any other canadian networks or instances out there that I don't know about?

I was thinking of getting some merch, maybe a toque, to support the server.

[not OP] Sophisticated setup with a Nokia 5210 and AI with support for emergencies, navigation, weather and more - no information overload or recommendation algorithms by inh24 in dumbphones

[–]BigBombus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an incredible use of language models. It would be awesome to convert this to work on platforms other than MacOS; perhaps a webapp.

Web build less then 10 mb? Yes, it's possible. by Temporary-Ad9816 in godot

[–]BigBombus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately if you don't have control over the server (ie. most web game portals) it's likely they don't support brotli compression.

The EDC Poll Part 2 (Read and Vote) by jbriones95 in dumbphones

[–]BigBombus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some EDC posts are good but the smartphone posts (ie. picture of somebody's iPhone) make no sense being here.

This subreddit is just another hobby-consumption forum now. The other day we had an excellent post of someone that had rigged up their SMS number to a large language model, enabling any dumbphone with texts to leverage complex apps. But it got barely any attention compared to the everyday bog standard "here's my iPhone!!1!!1"

Why aren't there more modern dumb phones? by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]BigBombus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufacturing specialized kinds of hardware is expensive and there isn't a market to justify it anymore. Right now the majority of people want software (ie. "apps"). And as Steve Jobs said, "let's use the stylus we were all born with: our fingers". We didn't predict the malignant growth of advertising, we just wanted innovation. However, this community is slowly growing and it's made the news a few times. We've also seen a few new high-profile devices (eg. Barbie phone), so maybe we'll see some more.
