A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Need recommendations for a reliable mobile phone (UK) (beehaw.org)

This might not be the best place to ask this as you'll all be asking far more of your phones than I ever will, but I need to buy a mobile phone so friends can get a hold of me when we meet up in a different city next month. The battery on the mobile I bought when I moved two years ago won't take a charge now.

I'm mostly housebound because of chronic illness and my life is very lonely, so even when I am out it's not like anyone is trying to reach me. Home internet with a laptop and tablet serves 99.999% of my needs.

So I suppose the big criteria is that the bloody thing won't die when I don't manage to keep it charged.

EDIT: I bought a replacement battery for £17. It should be here end of the week. What I need is a grandkid who can just tell me those sorts of things. Anyone want to adopt me? 🙃
