>>107895970What zero pussy does to a mf
who the fuck runs windows on a thinkpad
>>107895981You can install anything on it. That's just the model of thinkpad. It's $200, i5-1135G7, 16gb 3200mhz, 256gb ssd.
>>107895978nopthats when they buy ipple products>>107895970ftfyits hipster shit otherwise
>>107895970none
>>107895970You literally just doxxed me. Its super comfy btw, in an age where everything is put together into one device (smartphones) I feel great that if one of my gadgets break i dont have to sacrifice buying a completely new one, just because one or two aspects of it malfunction (like a broken camera on a phone)
>>107895970my thoughts are you're probably gay.
>>107896048you have more gadgets increasing the likelyhood of failureadmittedly, a counter point would be that simpler devices tend tt be more robust, and less often targeted for planned obsolescence
IDK i do like the idea of having single purpose items but i'm really not sure how well it works in practice in 2026
>>107896069You'll have a better version of each one though.
>>107895970Cool person, I'd like to be your friend. But I don't want to call or message you, because your phone is incredibly unsafe. Only "protected" by a pin, everything can be read out in clear text. Hop on Graphene and get Signal.
>>107896177yeah, and carry 36 things in your pockets?better get some baggies, kekalso the claim of better quality is disputable at besthow can you display the time with more quality?more displayingly, or something?if you wanna get a watch get something expensive at leastnot some cheapo casio you bought for 30 bucks
>>107896032In OP's defense, casio/watch is debatable, sometimes you go out without your phone or have the batteries out.
>>107895970All that ancient, boomer tier slop has been replaced by my S23U.
>>107896069also single purpose tools are used less often, right? your smartphone is being used whenever you need a GPS, camera, mp3 player, web browser, check the time, alarm clock, calling/texting. if you have separate devices, you only use them for that one function when you need to.
>>107896199you ask someone, or take the time from your environmentwhere i live, pharmacies show the timetheres time on hotels, train station towerson parking machines, and in busses, trams, metro stations
>>107895970as gay as it is impractical>>107895981stock image you gay faggot. think critically.>>107896048do you enjoy having retardedly full pockets to complement your velcro strapped shoes?>>107896083it doesn't>>107896184somehow a bigger fag than OP. imagine that.
>>107895970I have this watch, best thing ever.
>>107896219yeah, but then what will happen first?you wear these tools down or you break, lose, replace them for a better model?i never had a phone wear down on mebut i lost a couple watches because you wear them exposed on your wrist.
>>107896221Hallo, thats how I grew up as a late zoomer, but it's to unreliable. I think the watch is a good good in this specific kit.
>>107896198You don't know anything about watches if you think watch snobs don't love a gshock
>>107895970Missing a lora module with meshtastic>b--but muh meshcor--there's no fucking app for it that isn't paywalled.
>>107896219counterpoint: what will happen first:will you wear down your devices with use?or will you break, lose or otherwise replace them with new ones?i never had a phone break on me because of wear.but i broke a couple watches because theyre exposed on your wristi used to be more into bling shall i say
>>107896198Why would I do that? I would only need the nokia in my pocket normally, I would leave the nokia behind and take the flac player into the gym, I would take the camera only when photos are necessary, and the garmin would just sit on my dashboard.
>>107896257thats low class snobssnobs who know their snobbing wear bombardier or some other obscure, expensive shit>cartier?too mainstreamits like gucci- luxury for the plebs
>>107896263Have you broken a gshock?
>>107896271or just stop being poor and get a flagship phone like the rest of us and you won't need 30 shitty devices
>>107896290I have a samsung fold and I'm tired of it.
>>107896280possible.i believe i had a gshock a looooooong while agoi dont have it anymore so if i had one, i broke itits stuff from 20 years ago btw, could have been another watch
>>107896300Gshocks don't break but their straps can, luckily you can just buy another strap.
>>107896271>forget walkman on the way to the gymusing a phone for everything solves that problem
>>107895970Literally all you need is either:iPhone with 18.7.3 Pixel 10 with GrapheneOSand MAYBE a laptop with either WIndows 11 IoT LTSC or Troonix Mint/Gentoo/CuckBSDThat's it, everything else is this weird autism larp or luddism or inability to let go of the past.Watches/music players/cameras/garmin gps, etc are all redundant.
>>107896309that soulnds like a challengeand im naturally gifted at breaking thingsonce i even broke a dumbphone's screen with my bony ass'wasnt a 3310 though. it was a lesser nokia
>>107896314I don't want to, I want wired headphones and a dedicated device that isn't connected to the internet.
>>107896334a dumbphone gives you thatas per the picrel, btwfuck the smartphone shitcan you even use them without registering to some stupid accoutn?
>>107896334>NOOOO I CAN'T BE CONNECTED TO THE DEVILNET THEY MIGHT SEE WHAT MUSIC I LISTEN TOreally though. privacy faggots are too much. 8 billion retards on the planet and a little who thinks he's so important world governments and hackers care that he listens to Talyor Swift when he dances around his living room in his mommy's dresses
>>107896243>>107896263hmmm...well the idea is that they'd at least wear out more slowly, and if one does break, it's just that one thing you lose instead of everything, and the single-purpose tools would ideally be better at their job than the multi-purpose tool with less distractions or whatever. maybe cost less(?). losing or breaking your phone is probably really annoying, since it is relied on for several tasks.
>>107896378>maybe cost less(?)nahyou get a watch and an mp3 in your dumbphone alreadythats just redundant costsunless youre going for the absolute cheapest shit you find on the market.dont do that btw. give 50 for a nokia, i had a danew i bought for 10 bucks with a truly abysmal menu (but it held charge for 2-3 weeks, i loved that thing) and now i have a shitsung that turns off when charge gets to 100%neither have mp.3 btw.

>>107896377For me it's Louis Cole/Knower, Jamiroquai, Doobie Brothers, and Megadeth
>>107895970>Thoughts?You are not your material possessions
>>107896468holy reading comprehensionwhere did i mention a smartphone, let alone an ipple?
>>107896525I'm just giving you a quick rundown and the flac player plays flacs. A watch is just better than looking at your phone.
>>107896534>A watch is just better than looking at your phone.nop. equivalent at besti can have a fancy pre installed wallpaper on my dumbphone
>>107896564>nop. equivalent at bestNot him but that's something only a person who has never worn a watch would say. Anyone else would see the benefit immediately. You could check the time 15 times in the interval it takes to check it from your phone. Not to mention that it's hands free, visible from many different angles without pressing any buttons and the battery lasts for years instead of hours. I hardly ever take my watch off even while sleeping and whenever I want to see the time (or date) I immediately check my wrist instinctively.
>>107896564You can't look at it without looking like an asshole, you can discreetly glance at a watch. You can also check your watch with something in your hands already.
>>107896682>You can't look at it without looking like an asshole'depends on the situation.in a business setting everyone has their phones on the tablealso looking at the time wont make things feel shorter.to the contraryi never had this issue. must be a burger thing.even when i visit my family, when i have time constraints i look at my phone and nobody makes a fuss about thati keep it in my pocket though. putting a phone on the table in a familial setting IS impolite
>>107895970>canon
>>107896703I also like how watches look if they look cool
>>107896975then its a fashion accessory and more power to youbut buy something fancy. this isnt the late 80s anymore
>>107896974It's the best for the price but you could consider the inferior panasonic lumix g85 or the more expensive nikon z50 II. The snoys in the same class don't have viewfinders and should be disregarded.
>>107896986I gotchu senpai.
>>107897011kekd. have a younonetheless, all in black it *does look decentbut it doesnt look fancy.mechanical, self winding mechanism, and at least a dial for the phases of the moon, or go home, thats how i see things
>>107897011>>107897057 contin other words, a watch is jewelry for menotherwise one just uses their phone
>>107897057Watchfags love casioaks and collect them in every color
>>107895981Lost my shit to this comment lmao
this my setup. pretty cool huh?
>>107897090plebeian tastes.they should invest in photography insteadits a great excuse to get outside + a conversation topic so it can net you pussy.a watch can do that too, but again. it needs to be fancydoesnt even need to be proper expensive, just needs to look like it isthis one's cheaper than the cassio

>>107897127>bauhaus >quartz moonphase
>>107895970that your a retard, just use your smartphone to play music, use gps, and take photos
>>107897171What if I don't want a smartphone
>>107897176your dumbphone uses a closed sourced os retard, with a smartphone you can flash degoogled lineage os
>>107895981Guilty as charged. POSReady 2009 forever.
>>107897185enjoy the zero-days tardo
>>107897156i dont wear a watch thoughif ima wear one its not gonna be less expensive than 1.5kand im gonna need to have 7 figures on my bank account and more to come to buy something like that
>>107897183But I don't want a smartphone. I want buttons and a phone that calls people.
>>107897183>doesnt know smartphones run two os'es, one identical to whats running on a dumbphonebut sure, flash the overt os all you want, goyits not the one that matters anyways
>>107897193Just keep in mind that """swiss""" watches that are in that price range are 40% made in china. "Swiss made" regulations dictate that only 60% of the parts need to be actually made in switzerland. Swatch group is the biggest culprit.
>>107897206kai os is a closed source fork of firefox os. Android is open source and you can compile your own aosp builds, why do you think they are making it jardnas possible to unlock bootloaders on phone now retard.
>>107897192Two more weeks.
>>107897203just get a fidget toy retard
>>107897232hard as*
>>107897237I want the opposite of that, that's why I don't want a smartphone.
>>107897245dumbphones are the fidget toys retard
>>107897257I don't see how, there's nothing interesting on them. Nobody was just staring at their nokia for 10 hours a day everywhere they went in 2002.
>>107897262dumbphones have buttons just like fidget toys
>>107897273Oh yeah I'm just going to click the buttons for no reason, right. As opposed to just looking at a phone at every moment of silence like everybody does these days.
if you don't ditch the smartphone AND the computer, trying to embrace single-purpose devices is useless.I spend all my day glued to a PC for work and for the past two years I've been trying to adapt my hobbies to more grass-touching versions (e.g. dawless music making)
>>107897309toggle dnd and put your phone away, if you can't even manage that then you got bigger issues you need to deal with
>>107897220what a bunch of kikes.thanks for the heads up>>107897232>b-but muh overt osgood goy, good.keep running in circleskeep telling others to do the samelook up what baseband os isand why none of your precautions matter because all your communication goes through it
>>107897352anon your dumbphone uses the same components as smartphones
>>107897339I would prefer to just not have one at all.
>>107897359so you will using your laptop with voip for calls?
>>107895970I'm close, except I have a Mac and a Nikon. >>107896199It can be good for camping or being in the middle of nowhere for long periods, but you can also get Garmin smartwatches with GPS that will last for multiple days straight. I think some newer Casios also have satellite SOS built in now too but it's been a long time since I've bought a new watch.>>107896280NTA but I fucked up a g-shock when I was a kid, but I probably really put it through stress with shit like climbing trees, falling off my bike, knocking it against walls etc but it lasted a good amount of years through all that. I found it again last year and half the buttons were missing and the screen is scratched to shit, but it might power on if I got a new battery put in.
Test
>>107897357no, they dontfor starters you wont shove 8 gigs of ram into a dumbphoneyou just dont need emyou wont be using a quad core arm processor either when a microcontroller would doyou just cant put 100 bucks worth of manufacturing into a phone youll be selling for 20
>>107897402same specs are some low end smartphones btwhttps://gsmarena.com/nokia_2780_flip-11973.php
>>107897421as*
>>107897364No that's what a nokia is for, just pop in a new burner sim card once every 3 months
>>107897481you'll be installing degoogled lineage os on it right?
>>107897421>https://gsmarena.com/nokia_2780_flip-11973.phpyeah, ok****some dumbphones have the same guts as a smartphone****the more expensive/feature rich dumbphones have the same guts as a smartphone<when i say dumbphone, this is what im thinking aboutnot a smartphone with all the bells and whistles, only larping as a dumbphone
>>107897490No
>>107897493But the stock os is botnet
>>107897492does that ancient pos even have 4g let alone volte?
>>107897518lolle>>wants a dumbphone>but does it have 4getcdont be a hipster, just buy a smartphone.
>>107897543I am using a smartphone
actually you don't need any of those things
>>107897546good.in that case, the "modern comforts" are not the reason one gets a dumbphone.its either for hipster reasons.or practical reasons-theyre cheap. they have excellent autonomy. and are somewhat more secure than a smartphone. barely, but still.
>>107897623>somewhat more secure than a smartphonenope they run a closed source os (kai os) while smartphones run android which is open source
>>107895970A good phone with a decent camera cover 4/6 of these use casesA watch still reign supreme due to 3 years battery life while a laptop has a keyboard.
>>107895970>>107896032>>107897121My EDC, opinion?
>>107897646>and additional vector of attack makes my machine more secure/v/ ?>>107897709noguns/10
>>107897709pepper spray is pretty good thoughpeople can ignore tasersbut nobody can ignore the pepper sprayfren of mine used one once in a big fighthe gassed the opponentshe gassed his sideit immediately broke up the fight everyone was coughing and spittinghe used an xxl sized one thoughthe kind that get used in prisons
>>107897751>noguns/10Can't carry one here>>107897806Yep, I used it once and it instantly shuts down the opponent. Really effective, since then I'm buying those for me and my family. I'm interested in the Gel version.
>>107897872gel version sticks to the facebut you have to hit it in the first placethe gaz (liquid) version incapacitates for less time, but when you use it, everyone involved is gonna get some + several onlookers too, kek
>>107896019>It's $200Where at? Send link
>>107896277Yeah you haven't been in /wt/. Faggot.
>>107898098and wtf am i gonna do there?get told cassio is actually high class, only that i need to think different-er?
>>107898103Casio Gshock is not high class at all. It's just good.
>>107898126yeah but in 2026 a wristwatch is a status symbolotherwise its a duplicate of your phones timekeeping functionality. thus: bloat
