signpost: i remember you were into things like that, are you still using some kind of dumb phone, or back to iphone? asking because i pared down my iphone to messages and maps, so now i wonder why i even need one, but i haven't tried any feature phone since 2010 or so |

phf: wb! oh and if you ever find a 'dumb' pnoje that supports whitelists, plz post. because asciilifeform searched for many yrs and not found. |

(all of the currently-avail. ones -- and pre-3g pnojes no longer work in most of usa -- only appear to support blacklist, but not whitelist) |

android aint 'dumbpnoje' tho, arguably |

'dumb' is when it runs some 1990s-style sub-MB fw from rom or somesuch, buttons instead of touch screen, etc |

asciilifeform still scratches head re: the enigma of precisely why the existing dumbpnojes -- of which there are 2dozen+ models still made -- not 1 includes whitelist afaik |
| 18:35 |
asciilifeform |
not even the 'reenactors' (e.g. 'punkt' et al) |

do telemarketers 'make offer he can't refuse' immediately whenever someone proposes to bake one with whitelist? or wat. |
| 18:36 |

(and note that both crapple & android trivially switchable to whitelist) |

seems like you might run into having to whitelist all the public alert bullshit from a legal perspective. |
| 18:39 |
signpost |
just speculating, but I can imagine those kinds of "the beoble must receive amber alerts" regs being involed. |
