hey tech side of kc, i have a question
 
so i want to buy a flip phone (don't ask) for myself as birthday gift, but i don't know should i invest in good old Motorola RAZR V3 (for 30€ in thrift store), or should i stick to newer (i.e touchscreen ability) Sharp Aquos 601sh (the cheapest option starts from 65€)? (really want to decorate the shit with keychains lol)
if there any better options, lmk!
 
also, is that a time to invest in psp with games included from thrift store? i don't want to pay gaben for steam deck and buy games separately (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

Unexpectably witty and well-executed design for an industry that usually lacks creativity or artistic approach, good show.

Don't psp games already run on an emulator on pretty much any somewhat modern system?
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 15:31:05 · 2yNo. 323081reply
i mean the psp games within psp itself, so you don't have to buy games separately by having a catalogue of games to play
 
emulator is an option, but to me it doesn't feel the same, there's for example guitar emulator, but you can't tell you will have the same experience as with the real thing
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 15:36:05 · 2yNo. 323082reply
>emulators are not the real experience
 
Popular opinion but I'd even argue that for dated games, the emulator experience is much better.
 
Imagine losing your PSP charging cable.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 15:48:23 · 2yNo. 323084reply
i had to play nds games (pokemon ruby, animal crossing, cod black ops, etc) on phone emulator back in school, it's all fun and games till you face specific gameplay features the phone is not adapted to, so gaming experience becomes troubling
 
plus, to me personally 4:3 screen ratio on phone emulator leaves the black stripes on sides, which is not really a pleasing thing
 
>Imagine losing your PSP charging cable
just don't lose it haha

Some of them are great, but they only go as far as ps1 and n64. Give it a year or two and it will reach ps2 I think

What would you do with the sharp aquos that you can't do with the motorola razr?
As long as you can replace the battery yourself there is nothing wrong with second hand phones in good condition.

alright, i will think of that option
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:08:08 · 2yNo. 323094reply
i had an experience with nokia c310, you could surf the internet and have a keyboard instead of touchscreen, id like to have the similar experience, since aquos has android 5.1.1 and browser option as well
 
im a little sceptical about motorola though, i just heard it's a phone everybody wanted back then, so my initial plan was to carry flip phone around without a need to check the social media, since, well, you have nothing to check with lolol
 
also, i heard people use flip phones nowadays as detox product, to shorten the internet consumption
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 16:13:34 · 2yNo. 323097reply
Oh so you want to do smartphone things with your phone. In this case I would just get some cheap huawei android smartphone and no flipper.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:19:38 · 2yNo. 323098reply
eh, i already have xiaomi, cheap as well (≈75€), fed up carrying this around after a year since it starts lagging, plus the time i spend for internet consumption concerns me so i thought of something having both from two worlds
 
>no flipper
b..but..flipa..
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 16:22:29 · 2yNo. 323100reply
oh, i had a 70 euro xiaomi once too which got unbearably slow after a year of usage.
Turns out that once I removed the sim, it was fast again.
 
Perhaps it is running chinese spyware in the background that requires a sim.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:24:44 · 2yNo. 323101reply
i guess once i will remove the sim and put to flip phone, i have one fast time consuming machine and another detox machine with calling feature

> something both from two worlds
Your xiaomi is already not fun for internet consumption and you feel like you consume too much internet. I bet the sharp aquos will also not be fun for internet consumption so I doubt that anything changes.
If you want to stop it you either should go dumb phone or just learn to limit yourself with a smartphone. I bet there are apps that can limit your internet consumption per day.

Sliders are the cool ones. Flippers are for dumb nerds.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:31:11 · 2yNo. 323109reply
of course they are, so if i manage to get a flip phone it shouldn't have a browsing option, so internet detox will be reasonable, deal?
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 16:33:37 · 2yNo. 323110reply
Can't you just uninstall the browser from your xiami?
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:33:42 · 2yNo. 323112reply
to me slider is an autistic toy with calling function
 
>flippers are for dumb nerds
any cons?
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 16:37:22 · 2yNo. 323113reply
default mi browser cannot be uninstalled, not sure about chrome browser and google services in general
 
once i will disappear for weeks, know it's me finally uninstalling browser lol

What sites are you addicted to? It can't be casey because our post frequency is too low.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 17:17:41 · 2yNo. 323117reply
kc currently, what i open the most is kc, youtube and telegram, that's all
 
i tried to get rid of youtube, ngl, but failed as a loser and came back for documentaries and classical music playlists
 
i could get rid of telegram, but there's a major of people i talk to (friends, family members, work chats etc) , so i don't think it's possible
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 17:27:31 · 2yNo. 323118reply
Nothing wrong with documentaries, classical music, and communicating with frens. Problems weren't.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 18:05:11 · 2yNo. 323121reply
so the only problem i don't want to be glued to time consuming machine called phone so have to deal with it and develop the habit to spend less time here
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 18:21:16 · 2yNo. 323122reply
I think you should find some app that you like that limits your browser usage.
I doubt you would gain anything from buying a new cheap phone.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 18:42:55 · 2yNo. 323126reply
well, atp I'll think of better birthday gift then lol, thank you for advice :D
GermanyBernd2024-10-14 19:20:44 · 2yNo. 323132reply
How about you get the used psp that you wanted?
Remember that for your birthday you should buy something fun and not something to self-optimize and torture yourself.
RussiaBernd2024-10-14 22:35:16 · 2yNo. 323162reply
because people told me i shouldn't invest in deadtech and get something better

I don't know the capabilities of cell towers in Russia, but an older phoner tends to not support 5G (or even 4G sometimes). If you're looking for quality build and reliability over modern-day function though, I would say the RAZR V3
