    For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair

    However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars

    23yo zoomer here. Like everyone else, I was stuck on the Michael Cera one for a while, but it was because I never heard of the guy and even after googling I didn’t realise he was in one of the other photos.

    Gosh texting on the Nokia felt so normal and equally a nice reminder on how nice the mobile keyboards we have now are.

    I’ve never heard of a boomerang, the comments here filled me in but I’m not an Instagram user.

    The iPod was fucking magical by the way, always wanted one as a kid growing up, even begging my parents just for the nano but they didn’t see the value in that compared to the cheap knockoff MP4 players. I still want one nowadays but they’re all stupid expensive.




  • Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can’t understand the logic behind it either.

    I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you’re on mobile. Unless you tick “Show Desktop Site” in your browser, it’s impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.









  • I’ll second the other comment suggesting KeePass, but the biggest issue I had with it was syncing the database across devices. Ultimately I stored it in OneDrive, but it occurred to me that at that point it wasn’t much different to a cloud password manager, which I especially didn’t trust.

    I now self host a Vaultwarden instance from my Raspberry Pi, and that works perfectly for me, but it does require a bit of Linux experience and a spare device to run the server.
