Things You'll Be in Trouble Without a Mobile Phone

2021/8

• It broke again.
• In addition to what I wrote earlier,
  • It’s really annoying that all the two-factor authentication systems are no longer working.
    • I can’t use Mercari or my debit card anymore.
    • It was really tough not being able to access mysoftbank.

2020/12

• I broke my Pixel 4.

• Was it because I dropped it lightly?

• I have been living without a cell phone for about a week now.

  • It’s not as difficult as I thought.
  • I have an iPad, so as long as I have WiFi at school, it’s not a problem.
  • It’s actually nice not having the urge to check my phone randomly, so it’s like a digital detox.

• I think having a cellular iPad might actually be enough to manage.

• It’s interesting to see which features of a “cell phone” are essential for me, considering there are so many functions.

• In my case,

  • Flashlight
    • Ah, I see. There aren’t many people who carry a separate light (intuition), so the flashlight on a smartphone might be important (takker).
      • I always have a bike light or headlamp with me, so I forgot about its existence.
  • Transit guide
  • PayPay
  • Tethering
  • The Mist of the World
  • (Can’t quickly jot down on Scrapbox)
    • That’s too fatal (takker).
  • Suica (contactless payment system in Japan)
  • Can’t register LINE
    • (Because it’s a login system that relies on having a smartphone)
    • (I don’t understand the reason)
