phones are bad at most of these tasks and create clutter and obfuscation.
reading is fucking abysmal on phones, notetaking is just fucking bad, music playing is fine on Android though

>>106130457 (OP)
I'd say the Nintendo 3DS, but I don't know if I should call it single use since I also use it for music, movies and YouTube

>>106130457 (OP)
/g/ approved consoooomerism i will not fall for this psyop

>>106131642
>flip phone is $100 and cheaper phone plan
>mp3 player is like $100
>a physical notebook+good pen is like $10
don't even count the computer because no way you can just use a phone for all computing tasks
if this is consoomerism then we're in a dire place because it's $500-700 cheaper than a smartphone

>>106130457 (OP)

just use your phone normally

You can buy a brand new smartphone from the grocery store for $50.
A used iPhone SE 2020 is $80.

It's sad that smartphones and slopification are now the "budget" option and old tech is a luxury that you should feel bad for using.

>>106130457 (OP)
why are you reading terrorist propaganda

>>106130457 (OP)
How annoying is the lag on the remarkable

>2 mins left in chapter
lol people consider reading as torture. "just 2 more minutes until it ends."

>>106130457 (OP)
single use devices? i like my binoculars. sansaclip but i dont really take it with me that often. a single (venmo) debit card. stalogy pen. couple index cards. a single JFK half dollar.

i had that TCL flip, it was trash. not a good dumphone. way too thick and bulky, terrible quality, fails at essential tasks. i instead got one of their cheap "smartphones" and it's really light, plastic, thin, durable, feels like the classic days of phones, not all this glass and metal fragile ultra spec beasts. i have it riced like a dumbphone, and it's gimped enough to not entice much time wasting behavior, but still be able to use it as needed for the irl botnet. sometimes tho i just leave with my keys and nothing else.

How is old tech a luxury?

>single use
don't you mean single purpose?

I have a kobo that I love for reading. the rest i just use my phone or pc

>>106135544

A time/% notification at the bottom of a book sounds horrible, it's best when you start to immerse and lose track of time

>>106135544
>>106138273
Yeah, if I want to check how long it's gonna take me to finish the chapter I should probably find another book.

>>106131523
>watching YouTube and MOVIES on a fucking 3ds
this is bait right

>>106130457 (OP)
This is just complicating your life for no reason but trying to relive time that is already spent.

I watched most of Lost on this while commuting. Had a script to encode my downloads to Dingoo and rsync the latest episodes while it was plugged

Thing felt like magic back in time

>>106140621
Or crazy alternative of just leaving your phone at home now and then if it's such a problematic device and not hauling any of that superficial consumer shit with you. Like just take wallet and keys.

>Reading is abysmal on phones
Nigger you read the same regardless of the platform. The platform only matters if you're a pseud faggot who needs to gatekeep themselves to feel better about reading.

boox page ereader
music player with iems
psvita
that's about it

>>106130457 (OP)
Wow, I can't believe you throw those away after using them.
Haven't used a single-use device since one of these.

>>106140578
They should make a vapeman

I wouldn’t use half of that in public. Not because I’m afraid of being viewed as a “performative male” as the tiktok hoes call it. But because I’d be afraid of someone stealing my no stock retro gear (aka my Discman, or my 3DS [yes it is considered retro now])

Zoomers truly are a different breed of stupid

>>106141082
How is it generating more ewaste if you’re saving this old tech from an ewaste bin?

>>106140375
Bruh
I was watching full movies, TV shows and downloaded YT vids on a regular DS (DSI but same shit)

I think I even paid a few bucks for a converter as moonshell had its own DPG format for videos

>>106140501
Yep, the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max is so much less complicated *swipes wrong* Are you sure you want to resubmit this form again?
>relive time
So people are just cattle needing to be herded by our multinational overlords? We do whatever they tell us and can’t make any decisions? We MUST buy the new iPhone when it comes out, we MUST switch to whatever the new thing is. Yes sir, I will buy the new thing and throw away my old things sir! Being good cattle is our patriotic duty.

>>106141082
Wait until you find out how much waste a data processing center generates. Good luck getting water out of the spigot in 20 years (there won’t be any).

I would unironically buy this.

No, I actually do, stereoscopic 3D really enhances movies. YT is more of a gimmick but it's surprisingly more ergonomic than a phone

>>106143164
>stereoscopic 3D really enhances movies
...does that really compensate for the extremely low resolution and screen size though?

>>106137853
It doesnt demand your attention or tries to sell you ads?

>>106143719
>Extremely low resolution
240p might seem low (and it is), but unironically it's a lot better on video than on games because films are downsampled from a higher resolution. Games only look so pixelated because they run natively at 240p with no form of anti-aliasing
>Screen size
At the recommended viewing distance of 1 foot from your face, it's perceptually the same experience as sitting 10 feet away from a 40" TV (On the Non-XL New 3DS' 4" screen), personally I find it fine
