Got a new phone and read SAV comments all day

I usually do my SAVing on a PC, because reading the comments on an iPhone 12 was a major PITA. Between the "wtf" showing up and the page refreshing back to the beginning of the comments, it just wasn't worth the frustration.

Then I got a Google Pixel 7 Pro (and I am not affiliated with Google in any way, so please don't take this as an endorsement). Now I can scroll through the comments all day long, and so far I have had no "wtfs" or page reloads. None.

I don't usually come to the forums at all, but thought I'd drop this here for anyone who might be at the end of a cell phone contract or was merely considering a new device. I have been a long time iPhone user, so acclimating myself to a new OS has been a challenge, but so far I am impressed with this phone.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

Yeah my new phone definitely displays the forum correctly now. I didn't even visit to forums again until recently, since my last phone displayed the forum poorly.

*cost.

I still have issues with words I type disappearing on this site. It's weird.

Lol! I buy Galaxies that are about 3 years out of date. Very cost effective, and they're plenty good enough.

I love my Pixel phone. I love my Chromebook. Both are super easy to use and sync together no matter which one I'm using. I hate YouTube Music though, so everyone knows I'm not a complete whore for Google products.

I listen to music I purchased and downloaded from Google Music when that existed. I loved that platform because I could subscribe to a musician's radio and be exposed to different unknown to me artists then I'd buy their music. I don't know why Google had to cancel a great platform to purchase a lousy one instead.

Ikr! After I dumped Amazon (because fuck Bezos) I relied on Google Music. Now they're unusable. I do recommend Qobuz.

I use Samsung Music to play my downloads. "Can't nobody tell me nothing."

Nice! I've had Androids forever. I don't think they're necessarily better, just different. As a tech nerd, I like the heavy-duty customization that's available. If anyone switches over, I'm happy to answer questions or help however I can.

Wait! You mean it is actually possible to be on SAV without the constant resets and being taken to the top of the thread every 3rd page? Oh man, I just cannot think how much of a pain in the ass it would be for me to not have an iPhone. It’s literally the only kind I’ve ever had.

It's different using an Android OS, but not an insurmountable learning curve. Had you or I started with an Android, I'm sure we would have had trepidation if forced to use an iPhone, so it's just a matter of what you were brought up on. I do have a computer-related background, but I've been out of the biz for over 10 years and only keep up with trends online.

You could make the switch, but if you're anything like my other half, it might be more trouble to you than it's worth.
