   I had spent time researching dumb phones and thinking about what my needs are with a mobile device (ie GPS and decent camera). What I learned was that a "dumbphone" isn't really an option. Maybe we're getting into semant

   I've planned on running the Pixel 2 XL into the ground. I was originally running GrapheneOS but switched to LineageOS after support was dropped. I did look into CalyxOS but I believe support for the Pixel 2 was dropped around the same

   I'm aware and I have. It's been helpful, but I tend to get into the habit of checking and messaging friends at random when I feel I feel slightly bored. Secondly, they'll often send me links and Youtube videos that I can&#x27

   I had Signal installed for a while, but ultimately removed it because it's mostly friends sending stupid memes, breaking whatever I was concentrating on seemingly at random. I do have it running on my laptop.

   I had researched dumb phones recently only to learn that the two most important functions of a smartphone (for me) is the GPS and having a decent camera, and these things are either crippled or missing entirely from dumb phones. It's s

    Over the past couple of months I've been in the process of deleting some dormant accounts. I've had the most issues specifically with airlines. It's been a bit of a challenge interacting with the company's customer suppo

    I hate almost everything about air travel, but to me one "perk" is the fact I'm unplugged from the internet for a few hours. I am really not looking forward to the time when the person sitting next to me is on a phone call an
