i could take this to r/dumbphones or literally anywhere else where anyone would give a single fuck but here we are

i broke my phone for the second time in the past 6 months (dont ask) and now am using an iphone 4s as a daily driver - and i lowkey love it, finally all the retards i dont particularly care about cant reach me 24/7. pure bliss !

but, whats not pure bliss is how reliant the university is on us having modern smartphones, heres a quickfire round of all the shit i can no longer do without my metaphorical balls aching
  • use my bus pass, which i also cant cancel until september, -£200 for me next month >:I
  • do my fucking laundry without having to make the payment from my computer, then dash over to the laundrette hoping some povertycel hasnt stolen my pre-paid machine
admittedly the list isnt that long, but its still a mega ball ache
 
  • use the law to cancel your bus pass. in civilised countries, if there is no way the service provider is able to provide the service laid out in the contract, there is no object of agreement, and without that there is no basis for the contract (and the payment). too bad you seem to reside in the UK, so the civilised country part doesn't really apply.
  • get a AEG LC53500 or any other mini washing machine

yeah this shit is getting ridiculous. you shouldnt need a smart phone to function. being actually alone sometimes is good for the mind. hate how the few people not addicted to their phones are basically bullied into using them

Damn that sucks
  • in the SF Bay Area we can reload our Clipper card using cash in person, which is also a physical card. I can still just straight up use cash on SamTrans and MUNI, and you can also use your credit/debit card as well.
  • I refuse to believe that any laundromat doesn't let you use coins. I know that card is an option but even then you can just use a debit card. Plenty of places still take good ol' quarters (I guess 20 pence for you)
Cash is still king, I can't imagine a world where you can't use cash to do things. I'm just grateful that in the high tech hellscape that is Northern California, the Silicon Valley algorithmocracy haven't forced us to do everything on our smart phones. I don't even have any of my credit/debit cards or IDs stored on my phone. Plenty of sane people still left here running our infrastructure... so I feel sorry that you have to deal with that shit.
