Remember, you're homeless in this scenario, so you don't get to comment on HN from your laptop or desktop. Good luck in the libraries!

- lacampbell 10y agoThere's no scenario, just people claiming luxury smartphones are essential tools for living. Don't but words in my mouth or erect straw men.
- M_Grey 10y agoIf you think being able to live without a smartphone is bragging then the problem really isn't with me, it's with you. In the context of this conversation, which is about people with nothing else... how else should your comment have been interpreted?
- khedoros1 10y ago> just people claiming luxury smartphones are essential tools for living. "Luxury smartphones" aren't essential. Cheap smartphones themselves aren't essential. Access to some kind of internet-connected computing device is becoming essential. Starting from 0, the intersection of price, function, and convenience is more likely to be a smartphone than any kind of laptop/desktop. > There's no scenario The topic is basically "poor people with smartphones". This is the "scenario" that we're talking about.
