Many flip phones also work as MP3 players (some better than others) so those 2 could be combined in one device, depending on the features you want.

Unfortunately spam texts and calls are the bane of having any kind of phone. :( “Do not disturb” settings that allow contacts only can help but don’t fully solve the problem.

Thanks :)

Oh, I guess it could be a combination of that and the dystopian novel.

Why that date? Is it from the book 1984?

No, I’m not saying anything about what we need, just providing some historical context around what brought feudalism to an end – and replaced it with capitalism.

OK? I was responding to your original statement “Find me one with an unlimited hotspot plan, and I’ll switch tomorrow.” since that made it sound like you didn’t have any other criteria.

It’s a Sunbeam Wireless F1 Pro.

In Europe, what ended feudalism wasn’t so much a counteracting -ism, but the bubonic plague, which in the first wave wiped out nearly a third of the population, so many people that the remaining peasants’ labor was suddenly worth a lot more, giving them much more bargaining power for better wages and working conditions.

As long as the phone has the ability to act as a hotspot (many dumphones do), the amount of data is up to the service plan you sign up for, not limited by the phone itself. I use Tello which offers unlimited data plans, but the plan I use only has 1 GB/mo (of which I use almost none). I guess you need to make sure the phone you buy is unlocked so you can shop around for the best service provider.

I didn’t have to switch because I’ve never used a smartphone to begin with. My current dumbphone has a great UI, touchscreen for easy input even though it’s a very small screen, headphone jack, SD card slot, etc. It can act as a hotspot and has maps/voice navigation and current weather + daily forecast. The Tello service plan I have (uses T-Mobile network) is about $9.40/month. That’s with 1 GB data, but you can get unlimited data if for some reason you want that.

There is also a subscription available ($3.50/mo) which gives you live updated maps, voice dictation, and hourly weather+radar but I haven’t needed those things (edit: though I’d like to have the radar). I just use the offline maps (more private anyway–you periodically download the latest map data), and I don’t need the other stuff. (edit: I have a Sunbeam Wireless phone and live in the US).

There are some inconveniences of course, like all the businesses you interact with want you to install their tracking apps, but I wouldn’t put that kind of crap on it even if I did have a smartphone. The main one that causes me issues is the grocery store that has special discounts (“digital coupons”) on some items if you use their app. I already have their damn store card which gives me the sale price on most stuff but now they also have this digital deal crap. I can work around that by going to their website ahead of time and look at what all digital coupons they have that week, and click on the ones I want so they will be on my card, which gives me the discount at checkout without needing their app–but I strongly resent having to do that. If they want to put something on sale, put it on sale for everyone! But no–it’s all about tracking you. Pigs. But I digress. Point is I get by fine without a smartphone, ymmv.

But there are no such people with nothing to hide.

I’ll bet the kids have zero clue how an estate is processed and will be deeply disappointed when the bills from all the current court cases from doing illegal shit prior to presidency (and during) eats it all up.

That could have been the case if hadn’t been reelected. But he has already raked in billions since he got in office again. The corruption is much more extensive and blatant than the first term.

That sounds logical, but I think there would be an immediate black market for valid codes that would be sold to minors.

My great grandma used to say, “I’d rather smell the smell than taste the smell!”

It might be easier to write down stuff you don’t want overheard. Carry a little whiteboard, or they have whiteboard-style paper you can erase.

Gpodder has been around for ages and can do what you’re looking for. It’s probably in your distro’s repository.

This comes at it from a slightly different angle but explains the difference between us and the government in how money and debt have to be managed: https://youtu.be/sAKr55O7qaU

Were perfect. The conditions on earth back when life first appeared were very very different than they are now.

As for how many times it may have happened, there’s no way to know, only that it happened at least once (edit: unless it happened elsewhere and came here somehow).
