While I don’t think the iphone is over-hyped I’ve started fantasizing about going back to a dumb phone. The LG enV 2 is still the best phone I ever owned.

  • replaceable battery that lasted 3 days
  • headphone jack
  • physical keyboard
  • fit in shirt pocket
  • no bloatware

If I still needed to SSH into servers on my phone I’d be all over that.

Yeah, it’s really nice for working on a terminal. But it’s nice for writing text as well.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
