@lyse 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.

@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!

@movq No private mobile phone at all, just landline telephone. I have a company smart phone but it sucks balls and I don't want to even use it for anything unless I really have to. It covers two use cases, 2FA and accepting/rejecting meeting invites (somehow my desktop mail client can't send meeting replies reliably). 99% of the time the phone sits either on the desk (during work hours) or lays in the drawer (after quitting time). So it moves less than a meter each workday. And for obvious reasons I have to take it to the office with me, too.

Traveling soon.
I'm going to need a new cheap laptop and a new cheap phone.

@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

@lyse Easier said than done. I really do want to have a phone for emergencies (and some people are only reachable via SMS, oddly enough). Maybe I can get away with buying a super cheap and super simple one.

@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.

@eapl.me The reason I was asking was specifically @fachex mentioning another open source OTP app that's been audited and verified. So was thinking of switching out the OTP app I use on my phone đ€

@prologic@twtxt.net you know OTP is baked into iOS Passwords, right? I just migrated from 1Password to it.
