I'm not gonna lie, this "dumb phone" is awkwardly close to how my daily driver has looked for the better part of a decade.

I "made" a "dumb phone" like that too, using a normal Android, Universal Android Debloater, FDroid, Fossify and the Simple Launcher.

For my next project, I'll turn my laptop into a typewriter by disconnecting the WiFi.

Sounds low effort! The real way of turning your laptop into a typewriter, of course, is to install Linux without a desktop environment and run an editor from command line /s

At least the author of the article could be arsed flashing a custom ROM 😉
