I'd add "Cheap prepaid smartphones are actually good now".

$50 will get you a totally usable 6-ish-inch screen Android phone with an almost-up-to-date OS that can do all the internet things you need. You don't even have to activate them with the cell carrier (much like the slightly more expensive $90 device I'm typing this comment on).


Gwern wrote a post about his everyday improvements in 2018, I thought I'd write a follow-up.
