  • I’ve nearly 40 gigabytes of FLACs as well as commissioned art (much smaller in size than my music collection) stored on a 256 gigglebyte card in my phone. While the 128 gigs built into my phone is more than enough, when it’s time to get a new phone all I gotta do is slap it into the new phone and boom, gucci. That convenience, on top of only needing to remove the card to add stuff to it, is why an SD card slot is non negotiable for me.


  • Mate I own a pre-iphone smart phone. What are you on about?

    If you really wanna go back far enough, the first handheld, portable device which had both phone and computer technologies in one package dates as far back as the mid 90s. Touch screen and all. The term smartphone would first be coined in 1995. Heaps of other touch screen devices that could do phone calls, SMS, and had a suite of apps would come out in later years as PalmOS and later Pocket PC/Windows Mobile came to fruition in the late 90s/early 2000s. The iPhone was just iterating off technology and features already being seen in smartphones at the time, just in a sleeker, smoother, simpler manner with a capacitive touch screen rather than the resistive touch screens of most common devices at the time. Heck, the iPhone wasn’t even the first phone with a capacitive touch screen.




  • Oh I actually have a legitimately good reason for why the company I work for doesn’t list pricing!

    I work as a tour guide at a local nature attraction, got a campground as well. It’s a privately owned thing, and a small, sorta hole in the wall place. In the past there’s been big issues of third party websites, usually illegitimate, taking info about our pricing and services and selling tickets/camp lots to customers without our know or say.

    Customer shows up after paying the not-us website, complains when we have no record of them nor their payment. They technically never paid us, only a scamming website, so we can’t honor those tickets.

    It was a big enough deal that reservations are currently only over the phone or in person. Kinda sucks, but it’s best for everybody involved for now.
