I had my screen repaired under warranty by them. They factory reset to keep your data safe.

They actually make you do it, before they even touch it. They allow you to do it in store, and will guide you on how to back things up, and use their WiFi to do it.

Definitely can be annoying, but Lemmy is all about privacy, and there's no way for a company to steal your data with their fancy diagnostic tools if the phone is factory reset.

Huh?

It's more so the state of the world. Everything is unbelievably expensive. I'd rather pay my grocery bill and rent than get a new phone.

Why would you need expandable storage? Everything should be backed up via the cloud. Either a paid cloud, or your own (or both).

People walking around with a ton of data on their phone is crazy. It can be dropped, broken, stolen, etc at any time.

If my phone broke or was stolen I'd lose nothing. Everything is backed up immediately to my unraid server.

I am confused? I see plenty of 45 year olds that look like this. Just like how I see 18 year olds that look like they are 30 year old dudes, and also 18 year olds that look like they haven't even reached 13.

How old do Rhett and Link look? They are about this age. Link is pretty grey.

I have 120 and do not have it. Weird that it's only enabled on an older version.

Just checked. All of the "cheap" ones require you to order 2+, and then have insane shipping costs. The rest are $100-120 CAD.

I don't think these things will ever be affordable. People who want one badly, will pay the money, and everyone knows it. No need to sell them at MSRP.

or FOSS nerds flooding in any post to do with technology that isn't FOSS, ruining the discussion and downvoting everyone who even mentions anything that isn't FOSS.

Like the post about Windows Paint getting layers and transparency support, and every person trying to discuss it is downvoted, and there's a flood of comments talking about how you should use Linux because Microsoft is spying.

Like ok? Or lets discuss the fucking topic?

$29 CAD to remove ads in Sync, while Boost is $4.39 CAD.

I'd rather pay $4.39 and donate when I can. Overall Boost will end up getting more money from me in the end. It's hard to justify nearly $30 on a platform that may not survive, but easier to justify less than $5 with frequent donations.

Wait, your company will drop you when security updates end, but they are okay with you installing a custom ROM? Seems weird.

I don't buy any pis because they are $100+ in Canada.

Remember when it was supposed to be a cheap computer? Ya..

Oh not even that. Back when I used Tinder in 2019, and you were a guy, you pretty much had to buy Tinder gold or whatever it was.

Tinder limit your swipes, intentionally showed you dead profiles, and some other shit I forget.

Same with older people. If you're older, Tinder costs more.

Tinder is a predatory app. They benefit from you NOT finding a match.

Doesn't just work for me. When I'm playing a podcast on Android auto, leave the car, come back, there's no way to resume the podcast.

On every other app, there's a little floating icon in the bottom right of the screen that you tap to get to the now playing, so you can resume, but antenna pod doesn't have that.
