How does one securely downgrade tech, then? Using an old smart phone just sucks because everything runs slower than me after an entire pizza regardless of if it’s just texting and browsing or games or anything.
I want to have phone where i can’t run the proprietary apps from my work but can browse the net and send texts and listen to music without taking 4 hours to load
You dont. Old technology is easier to bypass and doesn’t support new stuff either because no one wrote the software for it or because the hardware isn’t capable.
We are using a vast, globe spanning system literally developed for surveillance and intelligence during the Cold War. Its predecessor, the copper line telephone systems’ wireless offspring, was augmented by an unholy alliance of technology and law into a vile chimera suitable only for spying. We have to recognize our position and make compromises.
The compromises I’ve chosen to make revolve around mistrust of state actors and service providers and led me to use an iphone with a bunch of settings changed and manual backups/music loading using an old computer.
You might be comfortable with a flip phone and an ipod (or any mp3 player, there’s just a lot of activity around the now “retro” ipods).
