Mom's phone, Trek edition

  I was at my parents this week and my dad said his tablet got slow.

  I checked the running apps and open tabs and the phone couldn't even express it in a number (normally it does up to 999).

  Then I hit the clear background apps button and the thing just straight up spazed straight to a full cold boot.

  An hour later, dad said it was much much faster now, but that I "removed his apps". (I didn't and they were still there, just not running all the time!)

    That reminded me of a time at work where some testing on our project required opening some large XML files. We were using Notepad++ to open them and format them so we could easily examine them. My boss complained about how bad Notepad++ sucked because it was sooooo slooooow to open.

    I checked his computer and it turned out that while he would close Notepad++, he never actually closed the file tabs. So every time he opened a new file, it was adding to the hundreds of open XML files. He was literally opening several GBs of XML files every time he launched the app. Frankly, it made me even more impressed with Notepad++ because I would have assumed most other apps would’ve been crushed.

      Lol, that's similar as to how I suggested Microsoft Code to someone I worked with for their personal laptop since they mainly used MSVS at work.

      Were bitching they didn't like Code because it "didn't work half the time".

      Turns out they were doing the same thing, opening files, sometimes editing them and then just closing the application.

      Had a whole smorgasbord of open files and most of them were in an edited but unsaved state.

      This concept of explicit saves rather than closing an app and having it force save was horrible to them.

      I find email is a better tool for that use case scenario.

      At least with email, its cross platform, can be accessed by any of your devices and you can go back and do a search of your previous notes. I sometimes use it but only when I don’t have access to anything else … that or I’m just lazy.

      Up your game. Create a WhatsApp group specifically for notes related to specific topics with another person, immediately remove that other person, and use the empty group chat as a note app. It’s not on your phone and your tablet/PC, and you never have to bother remembering a note app exists. I may or may not have dozens of empty Whatsapp groups for this…

    Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

  God I was helping one of my kids with their tablet the other day, the browser had 196 tabs open… thats not even an exaggeration, 196. It was literally the first time I’ve ever used the close all tabs function on any browser.

    Wow, definitely different school learning protocol here.

    Our kids were fussing at me to close my tabs as I go by the time they hit middle school, and when they were younger we had a ‘clear tabs automatically on closing’ set up in their browsers.

  God, whenever I help my mom with something on her phone or get it for her, I always see she has tons and tons of notifications. I could never do that. She also has many apps open usually and that also is something I couldn’t do. I have more than maybe 4 notifications and 4 apps open at a time and it drives me insane.
