Comment on Adults and teens pick dumbphones to curb social media addiction
LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 5 months agoOnly wifi you’ll get on one of those has to be an older wifi standard without modern encryption. I can’t get my PDAs to connect via my router, but if I make a wifi Hotspot on my phone with no encryption or password, I can get mine to connect. Even then, HTTPS websites largely won’t work since these devices are pre https-as-standard.
Beyond that however, I find a lotta use in mine for helping manage my ADHD since it does a lotta productivity stuff my phone can do, but with the only distraction being my mp3s and Space Trader.

That’s why I said I wonder if their was a niche market for something like those devices, meaning I wondered if some company could make a newer modern version, like Apple used to make the iPod Touch for a while, which were almost the same as the iPhone just without the cellular connection.
