Knowing that Samsung will be watching me masturbate, either through my phone or through my TV, or both, is honestly the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning.
Don't worry. They don't get many views. Til they get uploaded to pornhubKnowing that Samsung will be watching me masturbate, either through my phone or through my TV, or both, is honestly the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning.
+1The other issue I have with that is planned obsolescence, since you need to rely on the fact that the app is always going to be available on the store when you upgrade your phone. There is no way to back that up. Not like PC where you can image a hard drive or keep a backup of the installer file etc. Most of this app stuff could easily be a web interface or PC software instead and it would be so much better.
Can you restore the apps to a future phone with a different Android version?but it's worked for the apps I've backed up.
Yes, assuming it's compatible. It's just backing up the app. If something changed that made the app incompatible, it won't work.Can you restore the apps to a future phone with a different Android version?
That's a no for me. I can make x86 applications work in a VM if they are no longer supported in the current Windows version. That's why I don't install apps. Don't want to get used to something that might not be available tomorrow. The ones I HAVE to use are Whatsapp and Youtube.Yes, assuming it's compatible.

Ask the squirrel how many apps he has to run in winXP because they won't run in win10Can you restore the apps to a future phone with a different Android version?

Android emulators exist too, never tried to specifically see if an app for controlling a device works from an emulated phone though.That's a no for me.

I upgraded my phone because the screen was cracked, the battery couldn't hold a charge for a day and it was starting to reboot randomly.It's a pretty useful tool, but naturally I still use my laptop or desktop PCs for a lot of stuff. It's nice to have a GPS map, music player, and camera all in one small device. I don't really keep up with specs or anything, and only buy a new one when there's something wrong with the old one that's not easily fixed (disassembling, and more importantly, reassembling a smart phone is a hassle).
Which flip phone do you recommend for Luddites?That's a no for me. I can make x86 applications work in a VM if they are no longer supported in the current Windows version.

Here is your apk archiveYou can easily image an XP machine and rebuild it on similar hardware though. Lots of old stuff still running on XP but app stuff will go obsolete very fast with no real way to preserve it. I don't expect any phone is capable of lasting decades without having issues with the hardware itself, and then there's no way to really rebuild the same environment on a newer phone.
Although the fact of still needing XP is more a proprietary software issue in general. Most phone apps for products are proprietary. If they were open source it would be less of an issue.
They have their use, but I'm not interested in specs etc. at all.
A Motorola flip phone that should open automatically when I say, "Open Moto". "Hello Moto" is fine too.Which flip phone do you recommend for Luddites?![]()
My Moto X (2013)'s flash storage's NAND cells probably wore out due to heavy Whatsapp activity. Heavy freezing like it was trying to write to NAND but couldn't. That's why I went with the Moto Edge 30. 256GB flash should take quite some time to wear out.I upgraded my phone because the screen was cracked, the battery couldn't hold a charge for a day and it was starting to reboot randomly.

You have completely bonkers requirements. Take a drone out of its box 20 years later. And you're in IT?That doesn't really solve the issue that if you buy a device, say, a drone, and it requires an app, there is no way to preserve that app, or if the box has been sitting in the attic for 10-20 years and you decide to actually open it, you're kinda out of luck. It's not like PC stuff where the software is on a CD. And good luck finding a phone/android version where that app will work even if you manage to find a hacked APK for it. Although to be fair even PC stuff now days often just tells you to go download some software. But at least once you download it, you can save it somewhere safe.
I suppose one option for these sort of things would be to get a dedicated phone or tablet for that one device that you just never update then you treat it the same way as a TV remote or something. It's just part of the device and stays with it.
Eh, you obviously backup whatever apk you want to preserve, how is that different than on PC? BTW that 20 year old CD probably has rot.That doesn't really solve the issue that if you buy a device, say, a drone, and it requires an app, there is no way to preserve that app, or if the box has been sitting in the attic for 10-20 years and you decide to actually open it, you're kinda out of luck.

All apps are APK... and no, they are not hacked, unless you are talking about paid apps.Most apps are not available as APK though. And not sure if I'd trust a 3rd party site that has a hacked version. I recently copied a bunch of 20 year old CDs to my NAS and they were fine.
I was a FLAC man myself, but since I've gotten Tidal with my carrier, I really don't bother anymore.
I have 65GB data/free talk/Tidal for ~$26/month
