I've done no. 1 a few times for a month or so each. Some of the biggest problems with that are:

• Banking can be a bit rough without the app. You can sometimes get a separate device to log in from some banks
• Digital authentication to eg. government services, and some private services as well works via a smarthphone app. Depends on the country a bit how extensive this is, Sweden has been really bad considering this.
• Sometimes public transit only/mostly sells tickets through an app
• Digital maps and route planners are very convenient and not having them substantially increases the time and effort you need to put into finding places

What usually won't be a big issue

• Messaging: Whatsapp, Signal and obviously Facebook Messenger work on the computer, so you won't be fully missing out on anything. Also, SMSs and calling work well and are cheap/free
• Missing out on social media and digital entertainment like youtube on a device that you carry 100% of the time is probably just a good thing
• Photography, you can find all kinds of digital cameras, camcorders and DSLRs for a reasonable price

All in all, it's feasible but quite inconvenient at times.

I find having a smartphone without a sim card at home to be a good compromise. It limits the time I spend on my phone, which in itself is nice, and subsequently decreases the amount of data that can be collected of me. Also, if you aren't relying on your phone it doesn't need to be nice and expensive.

Same question as, is 22 too young to have kids. Both are non-reversible and have consequences for the rest of your life.

As I see it, most long romantic relationships like that die out in terms of romance.

So there are no romantic relationships where you don’t have a ”shared life”? Sounds pretty implausible to me.

An affair at a workplace can definitely be a romantic relationship. As can be a short fling, and all kinds of polyamorous relationships, where your life doesn’t revolve around a certain partner.

Now look at the standard umbrella and figure out if it is 25x30cm...

Why? You can carry your phone and charge it at the same time.

That charges a phone just fine?

I use a smaller panel to charge a battery at a summer cottage. That keeps my and a few other people's phones charged pretty alright.

Oh in that picture. Yeah I didn't even think about that, I'd imagine for the original use case you would charge a phone. Laptops need a lot of power, I didn't even dream of charging one off of a portable solar panel lol :D

A computer?

Who said it would?

That is the more likely true explanation. All of these rich and powerful people know each other, owe favors to each other, have dirt on each other etc. That makes them less likely to put anyone in their circle in danger.

Yeah. Mass producing can be orders of magnitude cheaper.

It’s a ridiculous argument. Of course something like that could be manufactured, it’s just too niche of a market so nobody has made it a reality (yet).
