Who's getting one?
>>109582912Thats literally just a burner phone they sell at Walmart for buying drugs and getting hookers. They've had them for 20 years. >nooooooo>you don't undersaand >its totally different somehowBuy an ad.
Buy and ad, nigger.
>>109582912looks like shit
>>109582959>>109583124Infinitely many ways to call out OP for being a shill and you had to pick the most fucking cucked one. Nobody will ever give you a penny for your 4cheddit ads you chink and/or janny.
>>109583153"Buy an ad (nigger)" is a roundabout way of telling someone to fuck off. It's a colloquialism; it's not meant to be taken literally, dumbass. Buy an ad, nigger.
>>109582912My childhood culture is not your costume
Does it come with the phone?
>>109582959fpbp
>>109583247>he doesn't want to see more girls wearing revealing, tight shiny metallic "y2k-futurism" clothingGay
>>109582912Do *you* come with the phone?
>buy more shit!
>>109583271it was shit then and it's shit nowI hope you choke on a pair of oakley glasses
no
>you know that OLD thing you like so much?>in order to experience it properly, you must buy this NEW thingThe illusion is usually harder to notice, but this really blatantly reveals it for what it is.
sure, how much does it cost. $50?
>>109583316Bet that'd turn you on gayboi
>>109582912I loved the idea the moment I first read about it, and would absolutely buy one of these things if they offered a means through which to circumvent the following:>web browsers and social media apps are blocked at the system levelWhy is this my position?Once I purchase and lay hands on a device, it is my property. Preventing the owner from installing literally anything they choose, while offering no overrides, essentially turns the Commodore Callback into a managed device. I will not spend even 1 cent on a managed device.Furthermore, blocking installation of web browsers is particularly and inexcusably retarded.
>>109583630Truth nuke
>>109582912should appeal to the graybeards in this shithole
>>109582912>Why block browsers too? Are they all blocked?>Because the browser is the back door. ???Interesting phone but that's a way too autismal hardline stance for me, I'll pass.
OMG GUYS IT'S Y2K IT'S BACK THEY WILL ALSO BRING BACK MY FRUNIGER AERO
>>109583630Isn't it just running SailfishOS?I don't think you can completely block a browser from running on it
>>109582912uuuuuhhhhhhDOODis that Frutiger Aero?DOODthis brings me back!
does it have a option to accept a incoming phone call with flip open damn those koreans
>>109582912>$30 chink burner phone >private equity who own what's left of the commodore brand slaps a logo on it >$400
Don't they use these to smuggle into prisons?
wardens allow stuff that fits comb pocket in your country?
>>109584818nu-/gee/ when encountering translucent plastic:
I'm more interested in the TAC-2 than another meme phone made for people who lack self control needed to not doomscroll on your smartphone.Also they could make accessories compatible with OG C64's instead of their shill Ultimate one
A500 remake did not fly?
>>109582959>*zoomer approaches zoinked out fentzombie on on skidrow loosely holding a blue plastic walmart phone*>WOW DOOOD IS THAT FROOTIGER AYEROO
>>109582959it's not a dumbphone, it's a smartphone running android apps
>>109582912> Who's getting one?Apparently more then 10000 people already did.There seems to be a market for it. It's just not me.
I want a footjob from that totally not AI generated asian womanThe phone does not interest me
>>109584799Yes it is, and of course they can. There are myriad ways through which they can lock down installation of software via their package manager and their app store, or their parental controls features. They can restrict the ability to launch processes with certain identifiers. They can block outgoing traffic on ports X, Y and Z. They can use a daemon to kill processes with certain names, those that generate certain types of traffic, or those that communicate with particular domains and IP addresses. The possibilities are endless.This can be done on Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, BSD etc... Why do you think it's impossible to restrict the user in such a way on a custom variant of Sailfish with proprietary components?
chinese dropshit poop
>>109582959It's literally not, you retarded faggot. It's a smartphone running Sailfish OS.
>>109585123It's not a completely locked down OS, and looking at their FAQ they allow sideloading.They can't just block HTTP/HTTPS traffic because that would block non-web browser protocols that use HTTP and stuff like process blacklists can be easily circumvented.
>>109585144Their FAQ and their ad copy clearly and repeatedly state that these restrictions cannot be circumvented, multiple times.>They can't just block HTTP/HTTPS trafficThey literally can, but I doubt that's what they're doing.
>>109585172>Their FAQ and their ad copy clearly and repeatedly state that these restrictions cannot be circumvented, multiple times.Repeating it doesn't make it more true.And the complete lack of technical detail of their "patent-pending" block only makes me more skeptical.>They literally can, but I doubt that's what they're doing.Wow good job removing the actual argument from my sentence.Blocking HTTP traffic would even make their own C64U Remote app, which they specifically mention, not work since that uses an HTTP API.
All haters in this thread are a bunch of niggers that know absolutely nuffing about the Commodore Callback.t. someone who's still awaiting his phone since last month cuz customs are gay
>>109582912>Who's getting one?Faggots. Also buy an ad, faggot.
>>109585187>the actual argumentYou have no argument. You trust their FAQ on side loading, but don't trust it when it comes to the restrictions which they claim are a major selling point. You simply assume that the device ships with barely modified Sailfish and the ability to obtain root. I don't.
>>109585190>I'm biased because I have a purchase to rationalize, somehow this makes my opinion more valuable
>>109585220this desu
>>109585219>You have no argument.How is the fact that blocking HTTP traffic would block a lot more than just web browsers not an argument?>simply assume that the device ships with barely modified Sailfish and the ability to obtain rootI don't assume that. I'm going by the fact that they allow sideloading and claim compatibility with 99% of Android apps, think of the millions of Android apps that are basically just a web browser widget.
>>109582912>>109585130How is Sailfish as far as security and spyware/adware?>>109582959>>109583256>>109585101Just to be clear, even the burner phones they sell at walmart run KaiOS atleast the ones I've used
>>109585247it has systemd spyware
I main a flip phone from HMD that cost like $45 and is really well made, but don't make it my entire personality, or argue how certain types of apps are le bad. This is like the weakest grift for people who grew up with the brand.
>>109585247Wrong, plenty of phones run Mocor, which in plenty of cases doesn't even ship a runtime for J2ME.
>>109584831>>109584879Dont know what a comb pocket is but yes they stuff phones up their asses.But increasingly the US is corrupt so the guards just bring in full smartphones if your gang has the cash for it.
>>109585257I seeWhat country?
>>109585307I'm in poland, but you should be able to find mocor phones easily. HMD has a really nice flavor of it, but I've had phones with it from brands like TCL and Alcatel, and I know the latter does KaiOS too, so it really depends.Just keep in mind that some mocor phones do not have T9 implemented, which sucks. I recommend just going for HMD if you want a decent experience without gambling. One Alcatel phone also had predictive text that was good, but if you can get your hands on a phone, just try poking around at how texting is like.Most phones of this kind are 4g and support VoLTE so they're not really obsolete tech, but poorly implemented ones have awful battery life.
bring back the Visor instead
>>109585402Damn, lots of good info.I'm in Canada. >and support VoLTEvery much needed in Canada now. Older networks have been disabled as far as I'm aware.The "Go Flip 3" had pretty terrible battery life.I usually used the voice to text feature for texting.>>109585423There were so many weird and cool phone formats in the 00s.I remember a schoolmate having a crazy square phone with a hinge in 1 corner in like 2008pic rel would be my goat
>>109585438it's not a phone format, it's palm pilot style pda that has a slot for hardware modules in the back kinda like a game boy, so with a phone module you could turn it into an early version of a "smartphone"
>>109582912>Paying more to have less (LITERALLY KEKED, CAN'T INSTALL A BROWSER) because it's "le heckin mindful and sovlful 80s"FISHER WAS RIGHT. FUCK THIS NIGGERHELL CAPITALIST SHITHOLE.I WANT OFF MR. SCHWAB'S WILD RIDE.
>>109582959they cant buy an ad their company has been dead for 30 years
>>109585453I forgot PDA's existed.I remembering my uncle passing me down a Palm Pilot.Shit was so cool, like a 007 agent device back then.BB Passport was wicked too.
