@movq@www.uninformativ.de whatâs your Fedi handle?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org a risk taker! Next you are telling us you often do bungee jumping! :-D Kidding, kidding. I know someone around here that does similarly; no mobile phones. He sure stands out like a sore thumb!
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org what happens if you get stranded with a broken car in the middle of no where? Or if an emergency comes up where there is no landline? In the US landlines are disappearing, mobile phones have taken their place.
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net there are plenty of under $400 laptops to chose from. Check Amazon, and filter âunder $500â. Same applies to smartphones. Sadly, I donât have a specific one to recommend becauseâand not trying to come across as a snobâI donât âusuallyâ buy cheap things. đ
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yes, she spends 2.5/hours a day commuting, and her old (2010) SUV now runs at 21mpg (around 34km per 3.8litres). In the US everything is quite far apart. đ©

@movq@www.uninformativ.de get a Nokia 6300 (https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_us/nokia-6300-4g?sku=16LIOW11A01). For $70 it is easy to buy one every 6 months, if it were to be really bad. :-) Heck, my wifeâs SUV eats $70/week of petrol, so⊠one phone per month is just fine. LOL.
@rrraksamam@twtxt.net for a good recommendation we are going to need more information. For the laptop, what would its intended use be? Do you need to run Microsoft Windows? Does it needs WiFi? Destination (for power outlets)? For the phone, do you need it to be âsmartâ? Physical, or software SIM? Do you want it to work where you are going (destination is needed)?
Details are in the pudding.
@prologic@twtxt.net Caddy for the win, right?!
@prologic@twtxt.net you know OTP is baked into iOS Passwords, right? I just migrated from 1Password to it.
@yakumo_izuru@tsuki.chaotic.ninja pff, I say donât bother. You change hosts/hostnames more often than people changes underwear. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
