Ok...My super hacky remote computer commbox.
Basically an old phone, with various basic mods (scheduled reboot, timer charge, remote management).

The purpose, a stand alone, remote computer you're not going to miss too much when someone fucks it.
You can even drill a hole in the casing for the camera surveillance (not the purpose of this one).
It looks semi "I belong there").
Lid goes on top.
I may need to put a sun shield on it for summer.

It should not be legal to push a new operating system to a cell phone if it makes the phone noticeably slower. I have all the processing power I need here. Your "updates" are damaging. Their real purpose seems to be to make me buy more phones needlessly.

If you're looking for a cell plan in Canada, I've been with Public Mobile, ‘discount Telus’, for years and am happy with their service. This is my referral link. You get a $10 credit and I get a "point”.

Their website is minimalist and good. Telus’ network is reliable and widespread (uses Bell elsewhere). You can order a SIM/eSIM online.

I have 40GB 5G for $35/mo unlimited in Canada. They have a special for 60GB 5G Canada/US/Mexico.

Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🌸 🌸🌸

26 May 2025

There are adults today who have never known life without cell phones—more importantly, they have never experienced a world without the internet. Yet, they can witness how life unfolded through the thousands of films produced in the 20th century. This contrasts sharply with the 19th century, when only a handful of short films existed, and photography—while present—was still in its early stages. Even so, photography played a crucial role in documenting events like the American Civil War, providing invaluable historical images.

Now, 160 years after that war’s end, most of us carry a camera in our pocket, embedded in our cell phones—devices that are not only cameras but also powerful miniature computers, capable of capturing moments and connecting us in ways previous generations could never have imagined.

"Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay." — Barack Obama

There's a really dumb trend that happens with #cellphones particularly with their screens -

Someone designs a screen glass made of a stronger material that won't crack as easily when dropped.

Instead of keeping the glass at the same thickness to essentially give us nearly indestructible screens, designers go "OH THAT MEANS WE CAN REDUCE THE WEIGHT A TINY BIT AND SPEND LESS ON MATERIALS BY MAKING THE GLASS THINNER!".

Also built in obsolescence is a thing.
