Android, but no Google account, so no app store. Just bare bones.

One of my sons has my old OnePlus phone right now. Android’s parental controls are vastly superior to Apple’s. When I open Google maps on my iPhone I can see right where he is.

A couple years ago they put up different cell towers or something, so I finally have a signal in this hole I live in. But only one bar usually, so I don’t even pay any attention to it with WiFi.
It is appropriate that you live in a hole.

My $60 Tracphone would not. Aside from that, and no Face Time, it was as good as the iPhone and a lot easier to figure out.

And now sometimes there will be a sudden problem with the iP, cannot fix it, go online to a forum, nobody there knows how to fix it either. Best advice, wait for the next update.

I really liked my Apple iPod Classic so when it came time to buy a phone I went with iPhone.

No wind unless it comes from the SE, which is pretty rare. No sunrises (never up in time anyway) or sunsets either.

But which hole is the question: The amusement park or the garbage dump?

Android "Meet" is same as Apple "face time" and works on iphones but facetime does not work on android.
We used to use it with our son.....we were unable to get into his phone after he died and it's locked keeping many memories and photos from being seen
Even after showing apple death certificate.....nothing.

Hi Bruze! I was wondering where you disappeared to after our sterling work on the Scamdemic there. I even asked in a post, but none of the scumbags would tell

No I didnt get booted. I just happened to be purging old pms, and I found one where someone suggested this place about 2 years ago.

So here I am, n00b all over again.

As for the Scam, the bastards are still closing ranks, but there are cracks all over it. Now they're pushing CBDCs Digital ID and WHO shite.

A meat gazing app is exactly what I’d expect from Androiders

I don't have (nor will I ever have/use) a smart phone. So neither is applicable.

It's pretty wide open here, so no need to hold back.

I think the US is worse off in some ways than you guys over there. Didn't you recently ban mutilating kids' genitals? The bastards are still doing it here.

Work gives me an iphone, have several android tablets around the house. Makes no difference to me, I am capable of learning to use different systems.

Android... It's just a stripped down Linux and that's a stripped down Unix and I used that for many years prior to any Android devices.
I taught myself the file structure and databases so I could manipulate stuff.
