Dumbphones

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called "dumbphones" or "feature phones" in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don't be rude to others.
  2. Don't harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D

Heard this. Tried to rent heavy equipment from Home Depot and was asked to scan a QR code, couldn't rent it without. But it was a blessing in disguise, found a small family business near by that was cheaper and better equipment. Had the same issue with restaurant menus, fuck that shit, got up and left.
