3G generally refers to the 3rd generation of cellular communication (the frequencies and ways a phone communicates with cell phone towers). Phones can’t really be updated between them, the modems in them are made to support what they support and thats it.

3G is being shutdown gradually world wide to make room for better 5G speed and coverage. 5G is the newest generation of cell communication.

3G networks debut in 2001 and 2002. 5G networks started being deployed in 2019.

I recommend avoiding political communities in general. too many extremists on either side of the political spectrum.

btc is bitcoin yes. coinbase is one of the bigger exchanges so that’s fine

if you live in the USA crypto makes your taxes more complicated; the IRS wants to know when you buy and sell it and how much you got it for just like traditional investments.

thats what their site says, at least when ran through google translate

first I’ve heard of it, but I’m skeptical of their claim to deliver security fixes faster than firefox.

What would you do with that much storage?

It can be easy to be nose-blind to your own smell, trust me its easy to stink enough to be offensive to others but not notice yourself.

They’re doing you a favor by letting you know. Just take the extra moment and put some on in the morning. Just don’t overdo it and douse yourself in body spray; too much body spray is nasty too.

looks like the devs are on it.

After that commit my database dump went from around 1.1G to 260M

theres a couple communities stuck on there I still check on, but no longer casually browse.

excellent, glad they’re about ready to try again! I remember watching their last attempt and being disappointed alongside them.

I want the ability to sideload, Apple is very much a walled garden.

I enjoy having the ability to use custom roms.

I’ve been generally happy with all the android phones I’ve used in the past and see no reason to change that.

My home room in middle school was one of the few classrooms that had windows pcs. They used deepfreeze to reset them daily, but I found some program that actually disabled it. I think I just installed firefox or chrome and then ran windows updates because they always had the annoying yellow shield system tray icon for windows updates needed.

Yep, there’s just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I’m around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

I’m rocking a pixel 6 pro. I like having the option of being able to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms, and the easy access to reflash the official os with just adb/fastboot as opposed to other androids requiring extra tools. Getting updates every month is also important to me.
