The dumbphone revival and the broader push to reclaim our attention have zeroed in on one habit in particular: reaching for a phone the moment we wake, and again as the last thing before sleep. A growing crop of devices now promises to break that loop, from feature phones built purely for calls and texts to social-media-blocking flip phones like Commodore’s retro Callback 8020. Copenhagen-based Habity Design is tackling the same problem from a different direction, replacing the phone on your nightstand rather than the one in your pocket.

    I take great pleasure in acquiring big tech garbage and freeing it from those big tech shackles.

    De-amazoned Echo? Sure

    Ungoogled Chromebook running Linux? Don’t mind if I do.

    Jailbroken Kindle? Thank you very much

    Taking enshittified hardware and liberating it is rather satisfying.
