    “I can use x, everyone should do that”

    The entire world runs on smartphones these days, did you miss that memo? And yes, you’re right! You can live without them. But that is like running hurdles and saying I won’t jump because the track normally doesn’t require it.

      I mean that’s a smart phone. I was referring to being forced to use crapple or doevil phones. At this point everything is running a hurdle and jumping out the window. The most basic things have become overly complicated. It’s like being thankful for the connivence fee to pay your bill.

        Because literally any era of Microsoft is so much better.

          I never said that, I hate microslop, but that phone was something else.

          It’s like imagine going from playing a gameboy to having a gameboy on your phone. It had pretty much all the features a modern phone has but it wasn’t locked down like modern phones are. And it wasn’t hard to put software on. And I was around 15 when I had that phone.

          Modern phones are tracking devices. Go jump in to some c-sec stuff and you’ll not be very happy to see the bigger picture.

          Oh yeah and I gave you an upvote for engaging in a conversation.
