Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

lol, they can track the IMEI. the phone component still works without the SIM, for example to make emergency calls. that means it is still able to connect to cell towers and you can still triangulate it's position to some degree.
I'm afraid, you'll have to cut the phone in half instead. can't be helped.
Ok, if you say so. Can I just cut the camera out, and still use that?
You can buy pre-cut cameras at the camera shop. They tend to come with a screen and modular lenses.
Yeah, but I already spent my allowance on this one. :-(
Sell phone, acquire camera.
Yes, yes, it IS a sellphone.
They can track my phone, not me. I don't need it on me at all times. I almost considered a landline but they cost a fortune so I decided against it.
US Mobile offers landlines for $10/mo (link). I can’t speak to that service but I’ve been on a cell plan with them for almost a year and my only complaint has been some weirdness on early auto-payments, but once that was sorted out everything was fine. I’ve referred several people who also seem to be happy with the service as well.
Looks Cheaper than any option I saw here in the UK, but also way more expensive than just using a mobile phone.
$10/month more expensive than just using a mobile phone?
Well the mobile phone isn't completely free, but its less than £10/month.
Nah. Rip out the antennae assembly. The phone might be a bit complain-y about it (or fail some kind of pre-boot check and not boot)? never done it to find out though.
It's been a few years since I was inside iPhones regularly but back then.. All of them had a physical antenna or two which plugged into a board on a little coax connection.
Unplug those, no reception, phone just assumes it's in a dead zone.
WiFi would still work if enabled. Which probably means they could find you via WiFi even if switched off in the current world
Cellular typically uses a separate antenna than wifi, on a smartphone i imagine they're directly on the wireless chip instead of a daughter-board? Laptops and bigger stuff usually routes the antenna wires to the back of the lid, behind the screen, im more used to that
