  It wasn’t software though. It was an immobilizer chip, which is hardware, that they didn’t put in the car. They cheaped out on a part, sure, but it wasn’t faulty nor was it software.

  I’m just giving anecdotal evidence, just like you gave 🤷‍♂️ I’m not promoting one way of communicating vs another.

  Crazy, most people use SMS with Messenger as the go to for big groups for me (in USA). No one I know uses WhatsApp

  I get about a weeks battery out of my Punkt, but I don’t use it for much besides the occasional text or call. I suspect if I used it more I’d wager I’d get 4 days out of it.

  Also they have weird behind the scenes integrations into accounts even if they are just supposed to be regular 2FA. You can read stories about Twitch not playing well with other 2FA until 30 days after you remove Authy. I don’t want those kind of shadow integrations and I should be allowed to switch apps as I see fit

  The monster one is real, I used to be a collegiate rep for them and they gave me a ton of condoms to give out (along with the drinks naturally). I’ll see if I can’t find some old photos of them.

  With the amount of companies requiring you to fill out applications online, emails being the main method of communication before a phone interview, and the amount of people doing virtual interviews; I would say it absolutely is a necessity to not just fitting into a modern society, but being a part of one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who started with Android, went to iOS, back to Android, and stayed with iOS I feel like you’re not trying to understand why some people choose an iPhone. I personally chose it because of the incredible battery life.

  Skip the rest of this if you don’t want to hear a rambling mess of my phone history. There is a bit at the end regarding prices and why I own what I own now.

  I had an HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC One M7, Sony Xperia Z1, iPhone 7, Nexus 6P, iPhone X, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15.

  I’ve rooted a bunch of the early Android phones, loved having removable batteries and having expandable storage. As the platform evolved and started following Apple’s lead on design decisions (no removable batteries, no expandable storage, etc.) I was wondering why I was still with Android. After having a the Xperia I noticed that the battery didn’t last as long as it used to and if I remember right (possibly not, a bit tipsy) the Xperia was advertised as having a very long battery but it didn’t last very long past a year or so (was getting less than a full day and having to charge when I was driving home). I also had how slow Sony was to get OS upgrades it I decided to try a new phone. At the time I cared more about the battery and the iPhone 7 was my next try. It was amazing, I didn’t actually enable iMessage because I hated the bubble bs that I heard about. Eventually the 6p was announced and I missed the freedom of android and decided to give it a try. This was the generation where Android started cracking down on rooting and the battery life was awful. I eventually went full in on iOS after that and here we are. I miss what Android was, I do sometimes miss the tinkering but I also don’t hate how things normally just work.

  Now in regards to cost, the name brands for Android phones are around the same price. They usually promise 2-3 years of updates while currently Apple had a history of supporting phones for 4-5 years.

  I understand you can get lower range phones for cheaper but I guess I’m not into the phone scene like I used to because I guess I assume the lower range phones aren’t getting the updates that the flagships are and I don’t want to have to either compromise security or shell out more money to get another phone. So for me, I’m typically buying around a $1000 phone but after 3 years I can trade in my phone for a decent amount of money off the new one, or sell it for even more and pay a mid range Android prices for a new iPhone. Or if I’m not feeling the upgrades are worth it I’ll just stick with my phone for the 5 years+ (only went to iPhone 15 to get USB-C and remove lightning from my place).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do portable charges prioritize iphones charging speed over androids?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you nailed it in here. Typically, iPhone batteries are smaller. iPhone 15 is 3349 mAh while a Samsung Galaxy S23 is 3900 mAh. The iPhone can get by with a smaller battery due to the OS being developed for specific hardware which allows for better battery life on smaller batteries.

  I bought a SD1 a year ago to use as my work phone. Not for emails and IM clients, but mainly as a secondary prepaid phone that work gets the number for if I’m on call. It’s been awesome and has also been a great little ebook reader. I’m kinda sad there are no more updates but I know I didn’t use it to it’s full capabilities.

  One thing I just saw. When I posted a comment it didn’t show up on the post until I manually refreshed. I don’t know if that’s intentional or not.

  And that’s why customizationss and options are so important. What works for one doesn’t for all. Thanks for sharing in case others would like to try/use it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Missed my windows phone, so I tried some android launcher replacements!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it’s not my cup of tea but if you’re really into the Windows phone this doesn’t look too far off. Especially if it has live tiles, it can look messy but have a ton of info without having to open the app.

  It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used Android but that looks very… Busy. I’m glad it’s working for you though, even with Android I didn’t go crazy with widgets unless I was rooted with adjustments. I do love quick action shortcuts though, glad when iOS added their version of “if this then that”. Definitely missed that the most

  Honestly, barely played 3. Tried to get into it but it wasn’t my cup of tea at the time. Now that my gaming preferences have changed and I play with friends it’s a bit more up my alley. I like it though but I’m very early in the game (level 13).
