minus-squarersolva@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 days agoSome tablets and laptops have a SIM-slot, which makes it possible to use a dataSIM. Then it has access to internet independent of your phone.
minus-squaremaximumbird@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·12 days agoIt’s hard to find even a flip phone that doesn’t have a GPS antenna that you aren’t allowed to shut off.
minus-squareAuli@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 days agoYou know you have to connect to cell towers right?
minus-squaremaximumbird@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 days agoYea I get that. But we control the things we can. The cell signal is pretty far out of reach to try and control. We used to have phones without a gps chip in them at all, we don’t even get that choice anymore. That’s the point I was trying to make by my comment.
