Funny enough, Nokia started making cheap flip phones and some others in that form factor again. My daughter asked to replace her smartphone with one of the flip phones. It was only $70, so I got her one. It's build quality is what you would expect, but it works and has GPS at least.

Google can get fucked. I feel like there will be a nontrivial market for de-googled or older and unlocked Android phones after this. If they manage to kill off custom roms with their previous AOSP rug pull I'll go back to using a (subpar) Linux phone or maybe even one of those cheap flip phones.
Lol of course it isn't that hyperbolic. I am still a functioning adult and in fact the main breadwinner of my family. I didn't set out to be some sort of pop culture storage device, it happened naturally. I do still remember things, I just don't write them down generally. My wife writes things down specifically because she will not remember them otherwise. Her journaling tendencies are why she has taken on the role of documenting things like appointments and such. If I was on my own again, I'd have to come up with my own method.
This is exactly the dynamic my wife and I have.
I always thought it was more equivalent to "let's make sure we didn't plug the Warp cable in upside down... again"
For real, this just further cemented me not wanting to buy any new Intel devices.
There was still a Radioshack sign up in a plaza in the town I moved to a couple of years ago. I got excited that somehow this one Radioshack had survived. No such luck though, they just never bothered to remove the sign.
I still have one like that from when I was a teen except mine was just some yellow generic model. It still works though.
When I was 18 and my parents moved away, I only had $30 for food that first month. I was able to get ramen for 10/$1 and it got me through. It took me many years to be able to enjoy ramen after I was able to afford not being forced to eat it.
This kid is straight up hacking time. He better watch out for laser raptors.
It's too early to call me out like that.
