>just stop using a smartphoneAre you going to carry a backpack with multiple devices?
>>106908001You don't need any of these
>>106908001use your Consciousness instead
>>106908001You can carry a smartphone, remove the SIM card and also carry a pocket WiFi. This leaves the smartphone more energy to be used for the operations on the bottom. You should also carry a steam deck. WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram can all be used through desktop web. This fulfills all of the requirements without turning you into a smartphone zombie.
>>106908001in 2006 ..... I did
>>106908001yes
>>106908001What's the point in doing all this when the flip phone has all the spying capabilities?
>>106908001You already are carrying a backpack for your laptop, might as well also add dedicated devices
>>106908451How's the Ixus? How much do you actually use a dedicated camera?
>>106908521very much this anon.>>106908218You can get away with not fulfilling your curiosity at moments notice.You don't need to read a book with you at all times, but you might want to sometimes.You don't need a GPS with you at all times, but it's handy sometimes.You don't have to fill every moment of your life with music, ever since they removed the headphones jack I don't listen to music on the go.You don't need to play games all the time, maybe sometimes it makes sense.You don't need to take photos all the time, but it's sometimes handy.In fact you don't even need a phone, why even have a device with a microphone that you cannot attach on you 24/7? it's just a whole bunch of pain when you know that the government ring your head and have you psychologically tortured for what you say outloud to yourself with woman in your head.>whatsapp, messenger.Enjoy constant government spying and random woman telling you who you can and cannot contact from your friends and family at any given moment having aneurysms about Russian GRU intelligence agency if it's anyone from abroad.It's handy like 10% of the time and 90% of the time it's pain regardless of whom you contact and whether they asked you about something first or not.Might as well use SMS ngl at least the bois from the 3 letter agencies are shutting off the random woman talking to your head etc. when you do.

I read either at home or when I go to the beach>cameraI only take pictures outdoors, and I carry a backpack so I have no problem carrying a camera>handheldI don't like playing on handhelds>web browsingI rarely do it on my phone>messagingWhile convenient, sometimes, It's not mandatory for me and it gets annoying as well.

>>106908001You don't need to carry 8 million different devices everywhere you go.A trip to the grocery store would require only your wallet, keys, and a list of what you need to buy on a piece of paper.
>>106908451based
>>106908001The only thing I need when travelling is gpswhich is pretty hard to replace ngl
>>106908001How did people survive before smartphones were invented?
>>106911216get a dedicated unit for your car>>106911189/thread
>>106912957Yeah but what if I'm walking or on my bike.
>>106913276there are bike units iirc
>>106908001You don't need any of this stuff to walk around. In fact, you can go outside without any of it. Touch some grass.
>>106908451sovl
>>106908001all you need is a laptop
>>106911189A trip to the grocery store could require just a smartphone if your wallet, keys and list are on the phone.I think anyone doing that is retarded but the point is carrying the minimum required for the given task is gay. Carry things that are useful.
>>106908451>tfw carry a personal music player, bing bing wahoo, and still have a smartphoneOne day...
i am sincerely thinking of switching from a smartphone to a simple flip phoneand i don't even care if it costs more, yes I will own specific devices that do specific things instead of this time sink addiction piece
>>106910144maybe anon is trying to attract the teen girl crowd
>>1069084515thpbp \thread
>>106908451my only concern is the extra work it takes to charge and clean, except the casio of course.
>>106910147> Peak sour grapes momentI would find this more liberating than anything else .
>>106911216You don't need it. I've traveled all over the country without GPS, I just write directions on a notecard. I do use digital maps but I don't need access at the drop of a hat.The hardest thing is that when you get somewhere no one knows how to give directions anymore, so finding the nearest Mcdonalds can be a pain.
>>106910256find me a dumbphone that has mp3 and sd cards and 4G or 5G it doesn't exist
>>106910111nice really went schizo towards the end
>>106916589Nokia 2780
>>106908001thats actually superior because youre not going to carry all that shit around with you. i take one or two devices usually depending on the task. flipphone, mp3 player, e-ink reader, laptop, notepad, binder, pens, rulers...theyre each superior for their suited taskswhile your smartphone is shit at all these functions because it tries to do everything instead of mastering something, also one source of battery lulz
>>106908021You didn’t to shit up this thread by posting; and yet…
>>106908001>>106908451Old tech is nice but carrying all of that in your pocket is a no no for me
>>106908001>ebook reader>micropcyes, I already do.
>>106908451based as all hell.
Only device I need, I don’t like having batteries next to me they mess up my resonant ambiences
>>106908001>dumbphoneonly for emergencies, otherwise it just sits in my backpack>mp3 playerhell yes! it has physical buttons and you can navigate most options just by tactile sensation, instead of the madness of touchscreens where that's impossible... music is also a great way of stopping normalfaggots and their pointless and stupid conversations>gpsI'm old school and I just use physical maps>e-readerI have one without online "features" (read: spying) and physical buttons. e-ink screen means I can read anything I want in direct sunlight in the middle of summer, unlike backlit screens>cameraI honestly don't know if I'd use it if I had one... it might just end up as e-waste.>handheld consoleI can always play at home on a much larger screen...>internet accessso every big tech corpo, their creepy employees and the goobermint can spy on me 24/7? no thanks.>communication appsleave me the fuck alone when I'm afk
>>106913381>In fact, you can go outside without any of it.not for long, unfortunately
>>106916960In Euroghanistan?

>>106908001You don't need a computer or e-reader on the go. All the rest of these can be done by a dumbphone.
>>106918285Not often you see a skinhead in a Beatles shirt
>>106916565Could you have picked a worst example? McDonalds has giant signs, unironically one of the first things I do whenever I travel anywhere is memorizing the location of a few. I rarely even go in, it's just really convenient to know "If I see the sign, it means I'm near a known place" and that you can walk somewhere else through a known route when you get there
>>106916625>pocketNever heard of belt pouches have you?
>>106908451Wow! Now you can consume 5 times as many products! Keep buying more stuff!!!
>>106908451What’s bottom right?
Instant messaging is actually a downside for me.I want people to leave the me fuck alone and stop bothering with meaningless bullshit every single hour.
>>106908451Strong homosexual vibe.
>>106922225Admittedly I haven't been to a Mcdonalds in 10 years, it was just the first thing that came to mind. But if you fly in and then taxi to your hotel you might not see anything.
Why would I carry five devices on me instead of one? You guys are so quirky haha
The bigger question should be why can't you have all the benefits of a smartphone, without the shit you're scared about? That is where you should be focusing your time for both technical and legal solutions. We're now 20+ years out of date on privacy laws. Work on fixing that for example; all the other shit should be for the interim
>>106924325Attestation means you can't do most things with your phone unless it bears the mark of Moloch. No installing any apps or even installing any app unless some fag on California makes a dime out of it
>>106908001Fuck your devices you dumb assed kid
>>106922347anbernic rg35xx. visit /hhg/ on the retrogames board for more info :D
>>106908451that's pretty based ngl
>>106908001Cargo shorts, stupid guy
>>106908001I do like messenger bags, I was thinking of one of those crossbody bags but they always seem the purview of a certain kind of asshole despite seeming possibility practical for the city.
>>106908001I want the power of a gaming desktop in the form factor of a smartphone. then I will just buy docking stations and place them in the places I frequently visit. All of it running on a single 5v usb connection(yes, this includes the 1080p @60hz monitor as well). It is the future of computing due to it's sheer convenience. Though HDD storage will remain a thing for obvious reasons.
>>106927501Didn't Intel try to create a standard like this that failed?
>>106927513dunno, but it sounds cool so I want it.
>>106908001These days phones are so retardedly large you pretty much need a backpack anyway.It's no wonder baggy pants are so popular with zoomers. Wouldn't surprise me if cargo shorts starts becoming a fashionable trend soon.
>>106928020Manbags coming back
>>106908001I literally only carry a credit card and my car/house keys
