Tbh these don't even look that bad. Even many times you peel one of these and they are totally fine on the inside

I feel you. And I work in tech (maybe you do too, idk). Point is, I'd need a bicycle AND a career change...

I want a remake of the original Harry Potter 1 and 2 games from the PS1. Not asking much, anything that looks nicer than this would do

Olauncher - Minimal AF Launcher (github.com)
 

Found this really cool and minimal Android launcher the other day.

For the past few months I've been using a side (smart)phone where I only installed Whatsapp and Spotify. Just an old Android I found in the bottom of a drawer. This has worked well for me, and Olauncher is a nice touch that makes it feel even more minimal. I sometimes go out only with the side phone or leave the main phone on my bag. As a result I get much less distracted than before.

I know this doesn't qualify as a dumphone, but I thought I could share in case someone who is not ready yet to make the switch to dumbphone finds it interesting.

I was struggling to find a job and my friend looked at my resume and was like, dude you need to put more bullshit there, add a bunch of stuff, even if it's fake, no one cares, everyone does it. After so much rejection I was willing to try anything, fortunately a company hired me just around those days. But next time I'll probably have to take his advice...

I'm still hurt about Copa América final :(

Still not over the fact that we're having 48 (!!) teams in the next world cup. It removes a lot of thrill from this qualifier. Now they're just handing spots away, I'm pretty skeptic how good that world cup is going to be

You can look into the Unihertz Titan series (I haven't tried them myself tho)

Academic paper on dumbphone adoption (acris.aalto.fi)
 

Came across this paper the other day. I'm yet to read it fully, but its existence is interesting already. Dumbphones have now gathered attention from the media and the academic world too.

Bochum avoids relegation in epic playoff comeback against Düsseldorf (www.youtube.com)
 

They turned around a 3-0, and won in penalties (6-5, went to sudden death)

I think more leagues should have relegation playoffs. One last chance of salvation for the upper team, one last chance of promotion for the lower team, and a thrilling game for the neutral fans.

Got annoyed by my gym (sopuli.xyz)
 

So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that's it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app.

Now, I know this is not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But I'm just tired of this trend of replacing perfectly functioning systems with apps (public transport tickets come to mind). Just more ways to harvest people's data, I guess...

Ah and by the way, in my previous gym they not only required an app for accessing the place, they also incentivized people to track their workouts, meals and bodyweight using the gym's app (of course I never used any of these features).

The Dumbphone Boom Is Real (www.newyorker.com)
 

Stumbled upon this article about the rising popularity of dumbphones.

Hope this community starts getting more traction :)

As for my journey, I am still on a "dumb smartphone" phase, an old phone with only Whatsapp and Spotify. I've been considering making the switch to a dumb phone or at least a candybar smartphone like the Qin F21.

Actually had to use this old friend at work the other day (sopuli.xyz)
 

They keep this 20+ year old laptop around because it has a serial port and every now and then that comes in handy.

You can't really see it in the picture but the laptop is pretty thick and heavy.

The AirDrop flaw exploited by China, explained (blog.cryptographyengineering.com)
 

The news was already posted here last week, but I found this great technical explanation of the flaw. Long story short: Apple is using bad cryptography. They got alerted by researchers back in 2019 but didn't fix it.
