An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

pretty neat phone, really love the idea, but im kind of afraid to order things through aliexpress. not sure hows the return policy, and if they provide repairs and guarantee. im also afraid that i'd find some dealbreaker, and would have to keep a "normal" phone with me too

i saw it has nfc. does the super strict banking apps work on it? like for ex.: revolut and other bigger banks apps

No need to use aliexpress, you can order directly from their site, and through dumwireless (which has an exclusive green version):

https://dumbwireless.com/products/jelly-star

Edit: also yes it works with chase, capital one, google pay, and those are the only ones I've tried so far. I've paid via NFC with it as well.

Not sure the return policy with those two, but it's like $200, one of the cheapest phones I've ever owned. Might make it worth the risk for some people. The risk turned out to be a win for me, at least.

Thanks for the reply. Turned out I clicked the "Russia/Switzerland/Norway/Others" instead of the "EU" button, so I wasn't very prudent. Since years I was searching for a small phone, that is usable for everyday tasks. This one is by far the closest I found, I think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the post and bringing the phone to my attention
