Comment on Ask HN: Want to move to use a "dumb" phone. How to make the switch?

Comments

Cold turkey. More than seven years ago, on my way home, I stopped at T-Mobile and bought a random flip phone. I still own that same phone. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21929194

Just a few minor updates to my original post:

  - Low-res photos are perfectly fine for my purposes
  - I don't need Google Maps when I'm on the go
  - Quick fact checking is not important
  - One day, I ripped off the band aid and migrated all auth keys to Yubikey
  - Tethering is occasionally useful
Edit: some things never change--I still haven't learned how to format a bulleted list here.
