i just thought it was funny to spot a "i'd have to learn another OS" in the wild

it is pretty funny/silly, but simultaneously there is truth to it. like, no idea what anyone can do about it, but break your phone and you're not exactly going car-shopping and comparing.

to some extent of course it is down to them being good phones, but the pressure is for sure real too.

personally i'd like to get off both ios and android if i can, but my bank and even government agencies etc. make that almost impossible, which is for sure an issue if that state of things truly cannot change.

Thankfully you can run Windows on your phone now.

No, not the crippled mobile one either.

crosspost from the iyg android thread:

Just got an email with a promo code for $250 off Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro. Looks like a onetime use code, so if someone wants it let me know I guess. Expires May 2nd.

my favorite recent forums storyline is posting in the CSPAM doomsday econ thread that the Pixel 7 showed me ads so I returned it and some dork yelled at me for two pages about how I should have gone to the special spyware settings to fix it

I would have been interested if the discount made it free but msrp is like $700 so the discount would only bring it down to about $450.

I’m gonna get a free iphone 11 from my older brother so hand-me-downs stay winning. Just have to replace the battery and get a case, probably less than $120 total.

my pixel 3a was like $300 on release so if you thought I had unrealistic expectations about price, now you know why

why don’t you get your mom an iPhone?

But my mom wants porn, so Steve Jobs told her to buy an Android https://techcrunch.com/2010/04/19/steve-jobs-android-porn/

So you're supposed to have an iPhone to text your family and an Android device to get off?

I don’t have to worry about it because Texas banned internet pornography.
