LaughingFox,

You’re lucky then. I’m at 75% full on internal storage (128g) and 86% full on SD card (64g) on my Motorola phone.

A lot of that is apps, yes but the majority is music and photos.

15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone? (blog.google)

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

LaughingFox,

When I worked at one of the US’s major wireless carriers as a manager, I snagged an HTC phone when it was one of the first Android phones. It was small but very cool. I’d been using an iPhone 3G at the time and as soon as I played around with the Android, I knew I had to have it, and never looked back! That was 2009 I think.

LaughingFox,

I’m using Voyager, but giving Boost some attention. We will see which I like better… I didn’t like Sync or Jerboa much.

LaughingFox,

I have a Motorola, and I like it a lot.

LaughingFox,

I strongly advise against smoking cigarettes. My mom died from smoking them when she was just 69. It was a slow and miserable death for her. ☠️

LaughingFox,

Iook I’m not a tech person, I always thought 1 gig was 1024 megabytes?

What is a GiB? I’ve seen it but always wondered.

LaughingFox,

I started Lemmy with Jerboa, switched to Sync, tried Eternity (Infinity), un-installed immediately, and am now very happy using Voyager.

So for me personally, Boost is a little late.

LaughingFox,

I worked at AT&T when iphones first were a thing. Everything was proprietary (still is) with them, and employees weren’t allowed to own phones for the first few years on employee accounts for some unknown reason. When I became a case manager for the executive response team, I finally got to have an iPhone. And… It was boring. I couldn’t customize it (granted this was the iPhone 3G in 2008) and it just really didn’t excite me. Then I got an Android phone on a whim, and fell in love. All the options!! The things you can do or choose not to do! Amazing! And still to this day whenever I play with an iPhone… It bores me to death.

LaughingFox,

I use @phonescoop.com or gsmarena to compare specs and read reviews.

LaughingFox,

I don’t even understand what Android Auto is.

The family car is a 99 Toyota rav 4. We stick a cassette in the player with a cord attached, and plug that in to the phone for music lol

LaughingFox,

I’m in the US and my thought is that it’s easier to use sms because not everyone uses Signal, not everyone uses Telegram, and those types. If they did… One person would prefer Snapchat, the other would prefer Signal… Too many choices. With SMS, it’s just your phone number, and everyone has a phone number.

Otherwise you gotta get usernames for different people for different apps… It’s too complicated.

LaughingFox,

Save money?

He’s a billionaire…

🙄

LaughingFox,

Because Linux is Niche. It doesn’t as far as I know come pre installed at the store when you buy a computer. Etc. That’s why people still use Windows.

I personally don’t find anything wrong with Windows. I use it for work and home and it’s fine.

LaughingFox,

I don’t watch YouTube videos or click on those type of links, so I don’t know what you posted, but no Windows doesn’t bother me. It’s just normal to use it.

And cool if Linux is installed now on laptops at Best Buy, didn’t know that. But not many still, I’m sure.

LaughingFox,

None of them look suspicious… I just never watch YouTube. Unless it’s on my TV, I should say. Or unless I’m trying to fix the toilet, in which case I like the tutorials on how to fix things like that… I just can’t be bothered. I’d rather read the info. Call me a crazy GenX-er…

LaughingFox,

Thanks to this post, I changed my search engine in Vivaldi to DuckDuckGo, and Edge uses Bing already, and I changed Mull’s engine to Ecosia. Phew! Now I feel better.

Google when did you get so crummy?

i just want to say how much I love having separate upvotes and downvotes.

It’s very nice to see that X people liked a post/comment and Y people disliked it instead of just having a singular “goodness/badness” rating. It (literally, in a mathematical sense) adds a whole new dimension to post ratings and gives us a more nuanced understanding of people’s opinions. Plus, it feels a lot better to...

LaughingFox,

Aww man I’m using Sync, I don’t see options to change it, all I see is how many points a post has.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

LaughingFox,

I agree. Long ago, mobile Hotspot just came with my plans. Now it’s extra, which is stupid. Just another way for them to make $$

LaughingFox,

Yes - fit perfectly in a woman’s size pocket.

LaughingFox,

Audio Satellite was the best.

LaughingFox,

How are you liking Beeper? I’m on the wait list.

LaughingFox,

That’s so strange! Here in the US lots of people still use sms, and it’s free/included unlimited in all the plans. I have heard previously other countries like in Asia and stuff, don’t really use sms either though, so that’s interesting to me…

LaughingFox,

Joey was a reddit client. It was the one I used, I liked it best. But Jerboa didn’t remind me of Joey at all.

LaughingFox,

I, too, am using the Motorola One 5G, and really aside from updates, I have no complaints, except the phone trips out once in a while or has weird screen glitches on occasion. Great phone though. Hoping to upgrade to one of the Edge series soon.
