    My first smartphone, the first phone I bought with my own money out of high school. Bought it on 12th September 2010 at 6pm, secondhand. Used it for 3 years 🥲 At the time I was using a Nokia 6680.

    Funny story, the guy who sold me the Motorola Droid ended up buying my Nokia 6680 (right then and there) because he needed something 3G capable to tethering to his laptop for internet access.

    The Motorola was $250, my 6680 was $50, so I only have to pay him $200 😂












  • if it’s a single player game or a mp3 converter software, then what you’re saying is true.

    But the internet is ever changing, new exploits and security vulnerabilities are discovered almost every day. New standards, new formats, new features released so often, even after the full release it still requires a full development team instead of just a few core maintenance staff.

    Unless you want to pay for every major version upgrade or risk using an outdated browser, a browser subscription model doesn’t sound so bad.
