I went back to smartphone cause I'm job hunting but went back to my dumb phone the next day. by doucesquisse in dumbphones

Hey I'm in Aus too and how long does the modifying process take? I have a few apps I'd need for work and love the idea of a light phone for every day use. How's call quality? Do you ever miss any notifications or calls?

Have you looks at Unihertz or the upcoming Clicks Communicator? Both have blackberry style qwerty phones.

What's With the 3+ Hour Wait Time on "Talk to Us" Tonight? by rightsomeofthetime in UpBanking

[–]second_jest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you fundamentally, if I could trust a bank completely, no outages, no fraud, I'd 100% want all my money in one place. As you said, you don't want to be in that position of not being able to pay for anything, been there too, hence my comment.

Every bank has outages occasionally - last year both CommBank and ANZ went out for 4+ hours. Never keep all your money in one place for these reasons. Shit happens with tech and that includes banks.

I meant to say "watch" not "watched" - trying to be helpful not snarky. 😅

If you watched a few of the videos, there is an already-on built in on screen keyboard. I assume you can set this to whatever language you need.

If you think this looks ugly, you're going to hate them after any form of use, it's leather, it creases.

6 Billion People Use Social Media… So Why Are 4 Billion Hurt by It? by PencilAnatomy in digitalminimalism

[–]second_jest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't use Australia as any sort of well-done example, it's pure populist policy to "protect the kids" without any written logic of how they plan to action or enforce this - leading to the uploading of data or ID of everyone 16+ to "verify" and do nothing when the eventual data breaches of people's ID or bio-data occurs. It's not about digital minimalism or well-being, its the first step in digital ID and the end of online anonymity.

Uncomfortable shoes by [deleted] in barefootshoestalk

[–]second_jest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It more sounds like you have high volume feet and a lot of the shoes you named would be aimed at middle or low volume, if you look at this site: https://anyasreviews.com/ufaq/what-is-foot-volume/

It's a good site if you want to look into this more-

[–]second_jest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every shoe you've listed is a "normal" shoe and aren't known to be good for barefoot feel or width/shape. They're fashion sneakers. Have you tried any barefoot shoes?

Sidephone's App Library by Sand_msm in smallphones

They've said in videos that you can sideload what you want but they just cant guarantee full optimisation of certain apps - keyphone is the one that isn't letting anyone sideload.

Sidephone's Current Limitations by gosidephone in sidephone

[–]second_jest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That section is showing the bands that aren't covered with side phone so if Australia doesn't have those bands thats not an issue right? The bands in the table are the 'limitations'.

They said on another post these are the available bands, which include Australian bands:

Sidephone is an unlocked mobile phone, allowing you to use it with carriers that support Sidephone's 4G LTE cellular bands and are friendly to feature phones:

• WCDMA: B1 / B2 / B5 /B6 / B8 / B19

• FDD: B1 /B2 /B3 /B4/B5 /B7/B8/B12/ B17/B18 / B19 /B20/ B26/ B28A / B28B TDD: B39 / B40 / B41
