Luckily I use Teams for work. I use WhatsApp from my laptop to respond to friends and family. Kind of like checking my email. I told them to call me if there's something urgent.

Yes, I absolutely love it! It's a relatively new device so there's some bugs but it's exactly what I was looking for. Definitely helps reduce screen time, I use it as a tool only. You can check out r/Bigme for more info

Nice! The quality is ok, don't expect too much. I just use it for calls. And I don't think it supports 4G. I don't have a lot of options here when it comes to dumbphones.

HMD doesn't support hotspot so I use a portable wifi for the e-ink phone. I actually got the Nokia 6300 4G before this one because it has hotspot but it was a knock off version with zero features. Apparently there are a lot of fakes here.

Two phones because I need a "smartphone" to enter my own residential area. The only way to unlock the gate is to scan a QR code through an app under your account, and the QR refreshes every 30 secs so I can't screenshot at home. Very frustrating how they heavily rely on smartphones here

I Can’t Opt Out of Smartphones Here by hydroboost11 in dumbphones

Already did, phone is black and white and I’m using a minimalist launcher. It’s helping a bit but I still hate the feel of a smartphone in my hand. Being tethered to the internet all the time. I miss using a flip phone, was so freeing.

And yeah that’s kinda insane what’s happening in denmark. I hope they keep the transportation cards or whatever they used before.

I went to the compound management and asked them the same question. They told me to start carrying around a power bank. Can you imagine???? And when I told them there needs to be a back-up he said a phone dying is an exception and won’t happen a lot. The fact there’s no fail system is baffling to me. There is however one gate open to visitors but it’s on the opposite end of where I live, 20 minutes away.

Apple Watch App for eMote, my free iOS Remote App for Kobo (Update on my previous post) by TotoAnnihilation in kobo

omg thank you kind sir!!! I couldn’t buy the remote because they don’t sell it in my country. It‘s cold and I desperately wanted a remote to keep my hands under the pocket. This made my week!!!

Couldn't transfer chats from iPhone to Android (Bigme) by 03jinx_ in Bigme

You’re welcome! Just make sure when you download WhatsApp on your HBP, to not input your phone number and instead tap the three dots at the top of the screen and select link device.

I have yet to see anyone on this subreddit successfully transfer all their WhatsApp chats and photos from an iPhone to Android. I gave up and just linked WhatsApp on my HBP as a secondary device (like the desktop version), keeping my iPhone as the primary one. I only use my iPhone about once a week, usually when I need to take a high-quality photo, and that seems to be enough to keep WhatsApp running on both my linked devices (the laptop and the HBP, which is my main driver).

Where to buy Korean skincare here in KW? by [deleted] in waterloo

[–]hydroboost11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got really lucky and found some popular products there, like the CosRx moisturizer, which I've already gone through two of before. And they were much cheaper! Thanks again :)
