  • Chyba kiedyś już wrzucałem pod Twoim postem ale: https://fsfe.org/activities/routers/routers.en.html

    (wyróżnienie moje)

    a successful campaign for Router Freedom in Germany that resulted in the adoption of a law obliging all German ISPs to enable new clients to use alternative modems and routers to connect to the internet

    Czyli nie tyle, że możesz podpiąć własny router za obowiązkowym routero-modemo-access-pointem od ISP (który możesz przełączyć w tryb bridge żeby funkcjonował tylko jako modem) jak to jest w Polsce , tylko możesz kupić swój własny oddzielny modem, podpiąć go do własnego routera itd.

    Patrz https://helpdesk.vodafonekabelforum.de/wiki/Einsetzbare_freie_Endgeräte - to lista urządzeń które możesz kupić sam które wspiera niemiecki Vodafone - tj. nie musisz korzystać z tego co daje ci operator. Na samej górze są dwa czysto kablowe i na samym dole jest Technicolor TC4400 który jest najprostszm w świecie modemem, bez żadnych funkcji WiFi.

    W Vectrze jest o tyle fajnie, że nie tylko pozwalają na podpięcie własnego routera (tryb bridge), ale w specjlanym trybie “open” (ustawiany z poziomu webui Vectry) podają też hasło do wydawanego przez nich urządzenia. Można tam sprawdzać statusy DOCSIS itd. Jak widzę że internet nawala to wchodzę w 192.168.100.1 i mogę sprawdzić czy modem nie stracił połączenia z ISP. Całkiem fajne, bo widać w logach jak jest negocjowane połączenie itd.









  • I agree that using a dumbphone can be hugely impractical, especially in today’s app centric world. I posted the article to this community because I found it interesting how before smartphones came about, the phone market had major stakeholders from Europe (that I listed in the original post) and how using a dumbphone OS automatically cuts you off from American big techs (a big theme in this community). Switching to such OS is naturally “solving the problem” by nuking it and as you noticed - impractical for some, but I dunno, found it interesting.

    Whether somebody will become a dumbphone martyr in order to exist in this Europe-friendly sector is another thing.




  • HMD feature phones are such a let down.

    The Polish language translation within the system is clearly automated translation - the words used sometimes don’t make sense. CloudFone apps are also not available in Europe.

    The HMD 110 4G (2024, not 2023) has the Unisoc T127 chipset which supports hotspot, but HMD deliberately chose not to include it. I know because the Itel Neo R60+ has hotspot with the same chipset.

    At least they made Nokia XR21 in Europe for a while.



  • I always wondered why do people use Pocket. I just use bookmarks - for example: on the bookmarks toolbar in my browser, I have a folder named “movies to watch”. I just drag the tabs into that folder. Isn’t that similar to Pocket?

    My brain being fried from the brainrot and not being able to comprehend “save to read later” probably also plays a part.






  • The first visit to a gym could be free. Or it can be a “a current member can bring one friend for free once a month” thing. You can just go and check what’s out there. Most people probably just lift weights or use the machines that they don’t have and don’t want to buy at home. There’s also the factor that if you’re at the gym, you’re there to work out. When you’re at home, you can be distracted by whatever.
