The dumbphone revival and the broader push to reclaim our attention have zeroed in on one habit in particular: reaching for a phone the moment we wake, and again as the last thing before sleep. A growing crop of devices now promises to break that loop, from feature phones built purely for calls and texts to social-media-blocking flip phones like Commodore’s retro Callback 8020. Copenhagen-based Habity Design is tackling the same problem from a different direction, replacing the phone on your nightstand rather than the one in your pocket.

      Bold of you to put one of those next to the place where you do the dirty. Even with the OS wiped, lol

        I take great pleasure in acquiring big tech garbage and freeing it from those big tech shackles.

        De-amazoned Echo? Sure

        Ungoogled Chromebook running Linux? Don’t mind if I do.

        Jailbroken Kindle? Thank you very much

        Taking enshittified hardware and liberating it is rather satisfying.

        The camera literally cannot function with lienageOS because there are no drivers. Even with the shade open it is impossible to get an image from it.
