fishmech posted:utterly irrelevant. you also had "always on email access" in a 2004 cheap quick messaging phone. you also had "security" and management on many other phone types when you were someone that needed such things. no just no. that was not a thing in 2004 fishmech i know you were still in short pants back then, but i was, you know, working. i remember this stuff as actual problems to be solved. and your email options back then sucked. the best phones had the worst email support, and vice versa most people carried blackberries and hated them, but the realtime email on lovely slow EDGE internet was unbeatable. windows mobile was almost as good at email, but almost as sucky to actually use. palmos was the best pda and pda/phone combination, but had the shittiest email options. ios 2.0 and iphones w/ 3g support really fuckin changed everything, instantly. suddenly the phone that could browse the internet well could also do calendaring well and could get your email in real time.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:no also remember that this was the era where forwarding messages from your desktop email client to your phone with a 3rd-party sync app was considered a viable solution winmo was an absolute loving trash fire in the early 2000s too. even by the standards of the time it didn't really work as a phone, if for example you needed to reliably receive calls

also the dialer app could silently crash, and you just wouldn't receive anything and you wouldn't know until you went to make a call and your phone hardlocked and like a million other ways that could fail. the treos were pretty good on that front though. i worked at a place that sold and serviced smartphones in 2003/2004, we didn't have much in the way of symbian phones, but we had bb, winmo, and treo e: oh and some great activesync bugs that could endlessly replicate a message stuck in the sync queue until your mailbox filled up, same with contacts or calendar items. or could randomly corrupt your mailbox contents, or would sometimes just empty your mailbox, because, sure, why not? infernal machines fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Dec 26, 2017 |

carry on then posted:it’s hilarious how antsy and anxious people get when they have to confront the idea that their level of accumulated wealth might be excessive and immoral why would someone feel anxious about having money? it’s the best. I used to be poor and now I’m not and let me tell you, there is no nobility in poverty, there is no shame in financial security. also a million dollars is not that much money.

having enough money to live comfortably isn't immoral. if you're just hoarding money to make your numbers go up and to make rich people like you, that's bad.

I recently went to a magnificent imperial British country club in India as the guest of a friend's dad who is an 8 figgy fucklord. While we were there the dad told us that we were not to order drinks with dinner at the restaurant (as his guests, it all goes on his tab), only out at the bar, because the drinks cost 50 percent more inside. A glass of nice single-malt scotch at the bar outside cost the equivalent of $2.50

if you can’t spend 85 cents on yourself you have a crippling mental disease. having said that, internet communists are mad when rich person spends money and mad when rich person doesn’t spend money. which is it?
