[20:19:12] https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/ [20:20:42] I don't know who that is [20:21:20] Watch company [20:22:55] u dont know motorola? [20:23:28] I got them mixed up with Rolex somehow [20:25:40] Not at all [20:26:40] I don't pay attention to phone wars or really any tech wars. [20:27:16] haha motorola sell 70 dollar smart phones i dont think they are really competing with the others [20:27:57] and their razr line is nothing to phone home about [20:27:59] pun intended [20:28:10] Kwel [20:34:57] my assumption is it will be part of whatever flagship set motorola has which I have no idea [20:35:07] it's an interesting partnership and I hope it goes well [21:17:13] [1/2] I made myself a userpage on meta and discovered I enjoy userboxes lmao [21:17:13] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1497345694837772481/image.png?ex=69ed2f58&is=69ebddd8&hm=9af6e06278ccbd21857a2d07d86e07574f4b6204395846c3a922a473ac072c2c& [21:18:35] https://community.fandom.com/wiki/User:TheWWRNerdGuy get yourself a recursion userbox [21:18:44] You might need a in the Discord username [21:18:56] But maybe it's funnier if it overflows [21:19:57] That's awesome [21:20:27] Yeah lol, maybe if I get a complaint about it for some reason I'll put one it but for now I shall leave it [21:20:34] I <3 my long ass username [21:30:35] hi hello howdy what are you doing here greetings salutations [21:33:58] Meowdy :3 [21:34:46] nya :3c [21:47:42] how does one catperson well [22:05:07] idk I just copied claire [22:05:14] :3c [22:07:33] I just channel little me who loved role-playing as cat girls :3 [22:07:49] You can't be afraid to be a little cringe [22:08:01] meow to that [22:45:53] Ha, remember when folks got excited about new phone and OS announcements all the time? [22:46:52] In fairness, there was a short sharp period of time where each new announcement was truly a huge evolution in user-facing features. [22:48:18] Watching the advent of the smartphone in real-time was wild. [22:59:38] I remember the iphone 6 bending and then the iphone that didn't have a headphone jack (I think 7 or 8?) which got everyone in an uproar [22:59:51] I haven't kept track of what number they're on for years [23:03:01] the iphone 6 plus bending wow what a time to be alive [23:04:23] did you know the iphone x and the iphone 8 were released at near enough the same time! [23:04:25] fun fact [23:10:26] I don’t think anything captured my excitement like when flip phones started having games [23:16:58] @blankeclair!!! how to cat person well [23:17:03] i need to know the secret [23:24:58] Oh yeah, the elimination of the 3.5 jack was a huge debacle, right up there with ending easily swappable batteries [23:26:18] Ah, project Ara, the project that never was. 🙁 [23:26:19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara [23:26:38] At least others have tried to pick up the mantle on that logistical nightmare to figure out [23:29:04] [1/2] HTC had some really cool phones back in the day, they were an early player in the race [23:29:05] [2/2] And I'm so sad that LG's phone branch went under; they were making top tier innovative phones up until the very end 😭 [23:29:53] I remember the first smartphone I ever had. I recorded music from speakers to get a custom ringtone because you couldn't actually plug phones into the computer to load sound files on them [23:30:12] Well, maybe you could. But not easily with the drm at the time [23:30:30] Yep. Wild times. Windows and Palm got into some weird territories with WebOS and the windows mobile OS [23:30:41] I remember Bluetoothing music that I liked from my friends' phones [23:31:08] Like, sending files over Bluetooth [23:31:11] Ha, yeah, the bluetooth-based file drop thing has stuck around a bit, just morphed [23:31:12] I don't think anyone does that anymore [23:31:14] I still fondly remember Blackberry - I think there's a real space for that in the market, even today [23:31:29] Yeah, with cloud everything directly 'zapping' files to folks is much less in demand [23:31:35] Oh god I tried to bt a notification sound and could never get it to work on our shitty 3g connection [23:31:59] I even had the classic over-the-ear headset for some reason? Lol [23:32:42] One of the weird ones was that the windows phones were still trying to push zune, so many of those phones also had a built-in AM/FM receiver. [23:33:26] Not sure how that sells a standalone device, but 🤷 [23:34:19] a return to minimalist screen + physical keyboard, or something else? [23:34:21] [1/3] Yes!!! The LG V20 actually had AM/FM capabilities and when they took it out for the V60 it caused a huge furor. [23:34:21] [2/3] Remember some of the cool form factors we had? I wish we had neat stuff like this. Foldables nowadays are close but not the same. [23:34:21] [3/3] [23:35:03] Both the physical components and the OS! It was such a business class device. So sleek. A workhorse [23:35:28] Yeah! It's kinda getting back to that in a way with all the new foldable/flippable phones, even the sidekick got a refresh for a minute there. [23:35:37] But seems more nostalgia than function-driven. [23:36:01] I haven't seen a great reason for those to exist yet, though I'm willing to be impressed. [23:37:01] Yes!!! Also re: Zune - my friend had one and I was sooooo jealous at the time 😩 It had way more capabilities than my iPod Shuffle, which I have come to regard as the perfect all-round MP3 player and I will not discuss that opinion further [23:37:37] Exactly, nostalgia is right - they want the pop culture moment of the Razr 'snap!' shut 👁️👄👁️ [23:37:48] They'll never be ber [23:38:20] My friend had a pink Razr and I thought I would turn green, I was so jealous [23:38:34] nope. It served a specific, novel purpose at the time: A phone with a full keyboard? So cool in the era of T9. Making a satisfying clicky slide noise each time? Peak design. [23:38:58] PEAK DESIGN!!!! [23:39:28] Oh wait, I'm conflating the sidekick and the razr again [23:40:28] My last upgrade I went with a Samsung Ultra, mostly for specs, but also because I think a built-in stylus that has specific software capabilities is a cool touch in the era of plain black slabs we're stuck with now [23:40:48] But don't talk to me about my missing headphone jack. I'm not over it yet. [23:41:15] Both the sidekick and the razr were great. None of my friends ever had a sidekick so I never got a chance to see one up close tho. [23:42:04] Yeah, as you might imagine it was an engineering weak point, the first gen hinges didn't last more than a year or two. 😄 [23:44:03] Ended up with a Pixel 10 Pro in my most recent refresh, the pixels are doing well enough for me for now in the era of black slabs. [23:44:33] The charging/battery lifespans are finally starting to improve again, so that's nice. [23:45:01] why a pixel [23:45:01] [1/3] :bombasticsideeye: We have more premium materials now, surely we could remake it for the new generation ... [23:45:01] [2/3] Reminds me of the first foldables that just, straight up bent and cracked after a few too many uses oops [23:45:02] [3/3] My LG V60 came with this really interesting case, almost like a Kindle cover, which gave it a two-screen functionality without having the weak points be on the phone itself. It was awesome! Was nice to have different apps on different screens, even if most of them didn't work well if you tried to extend them to both screens 😅 [23:45:41] I've heard good things about it! Stock Android on a Pixel is soooo slick, I used to use it at work [23:46:19] At least wireless bone conduction headphones have finally stopped being absolute garbage or weighing 3-5 lbs. I've gone through a few form factors of bluetooth headphones but honestly can't stand those little earbuddies for extended wear. [23:46:45] I wish you could hear the yell of agreement I just made [23:46:50] Earbuds my beloathed [23:47:51] I actually bought another LG V60 after my recent one died because it can drive my sennheisers so it's really nice for actual audio use [23:48:01] Relatively inexpensive compared to other MFG with similar or better specs, no manufacturer-specific quirks, speed of updates [23:48:42] (Will depend on local market, obvs, I know that the US != global when it comes to pricing/quality/availability) [23:49:11] are u taking the chip into count when you say "similar or better specs"? [23:49:39] (Esp in this the year of insane tariff/fuel surcharges distorting price) [23:50:59] Meh, I don't particularly care about the compute/gpu in most cases these days. I know there's better/best on the market, but as long as it isn't a battery hog and is reasonably snappy to respond, works for me. [23:51:41] googles price to performance is notoriously bad yea [23:51:55] they always seem to be years behind with tensor [23:53:23] Yep. Oh, the missing piece in this: I protect the hell of of my devices and aim for trade-in windows that give me the biggest reduction in possible. [23:53:36] o yea trade ins and where its at [23:53:46] So I was able to jump from am earlier gen to the 10 for like, 200 out of pocket [23:54:11] idk abt google, but ik samsung have insane trade ins [23:54:34] Yep, most of the manufacturers heavily incentivized trade-ins of their own devices, something something brand loyalty [23:55:41] heavy on the "most manufacturers" [23:55:46] apple 😠 😠 [23:56:11] I can't wait for the Motorola and Graphene OS partnership. Would love a true third player in the space to give Samsung and Google a run for their money, and I've wanted to try Graphene for ages. [23:56:36] i really hope they actually do something with this !! [23:56:50] im scared itll just be a budget solution for their low end phones [23:56:56] I knowww 😭 [23:56:56] Motorola has and continues to make a hell of a phone, would love to see them seriously take a chunk of the market again [23:57:34] google requires you to support 5 years of android updates, or no years of updates, motorola go with the latter for their cheaper stuff [23:57:42] i dont want them to replace that with grapheneOS [23:58:17] They have the background to do it, they could really get something going. I know budget phones are the bread and butter (not everyone can afford a $1200 flagship, even over time), but I wish a lot of these flagships actually tried something. I think Motorola could really make a statement if they wanted [23:59:21] shoutout motorolas £90 7000mAh phone
