Old Mobile Phones
As I was looking for a relative for a simpler, easier and sturdier phone, I quickly realized that... older mobile phones are exactly that? Did technology in that sector really regress, in a way? 
Now I spent two hours just looking at semi-recent videos of such, also because I became invested in it - the nostalgia really hit hard.
I didn't have a mobile phone until very late in my life, when smartphones long since established themselves as the standard, so the early mobile phone crazy went by mostly unnoticed by me - but I remember them still a bit fondly, since I was exposed to them in Asian media like South Korean movies, but also in animes.
And when I finally got my first mobile phone, a cheap smartphone, it was, like it always is for me, more out of curiosity for the technology than to connect with others.
And now, so many years later, it repeats in a way: Yet again I am curious, but my curiosity takes me back, for a technology I didn't care for when it was actually relevant.
Since I am a Sony fan, or at least a fan of Sony of old, I quickly pivoted to the Sony Ericsson line and found some really interesting looking models attached below.
But it's a shame older mobile phones simply won't work in a lot of first world countries anymore, because of the shutdown of the 2G networks.
If you have any fond memories regarding this topic, please feel free to share them!

re: Old Mobile Phones
@okabe_rintarou I always was interested in the Nokia E70 only because of Maddox's satirical review back when the original iPhone was announced.
I find it impressive that a phone like this had an SSH client back in 2006.

@okabe_rintarou My first phone was a Samsung Brightside feature phone back in 2012. I was in middle school at the time and most of everyone had move on to smartphones. I went from the only kid without a cell phone to the only kid without a smartphone.
It was actually a weird time where feature phones tried to be like smartphones without actually being smartphones. To the point that they look like them but still ran dumb phone OSes.
I never really used it for anything other than calling my parents to pick me up and for a cheap MP3 player.
My first smartphone ended up being a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S3 around 2015.

@allison Slackware was the only "advance distro" that I even tried. Granted it was a SlackwareLive because vanilla Slackware doesn't have a live environment, but I really didn't think that much of it. I always stuck with Mint because I'm afraid of messing things up.
I find it hard to believe that I've been using Linux for almost a decade and I still don't have a grasp on the inner workings of it.
@allison How many people still even remember Slackware?

@ArdanianRight @BNONews@newsbots.eu They're preparing for the next planned crisis.
@ItsSkyDragonz I've seen one jerking off into the bathroom sink once.

Literally every single mentally retarded kid ive ever met has repeatedly tried or has touched kids on several occasions jesus christ
@MyriadTribulations Well that shows how out of touch I am and I don't care.
@D00B @crunklord420 Yeah. According to a poll I did a few days ago, people agree that the Federal Reserve was a bigger mistake than the UN.
@D00B @crunklord420 They did donate the land to build the UN HQ so it wouldn't surprise me.
@crunklord420 The UN is most likely a puppet organization of some global shadow government.
@ChristiJunior @mactonite @ArdanianRight @Alex "But I'm a die-hard collector."
I'm so happy that I'm out of the loop on this whole Metokur vs Ralph e-drama. Seems like a waste of fucking time.
@coolboymew People making multiple transactions (sometimes with multiple accounts) at the ATM are worse.
@DeveloperMemes Wow! This bot ended up posting something racist.
