fedposting Hello hex bears! How old are you?

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

The age of tech to age of human relationship really breaks down as soon as you leave the imperial core or even the middle class, so I'm not so worried about it.

I've already logged all your identities in the fed database handed that in last month this one is just for fun

Samsung galaxy s6, it was brand new and it stopped working after a year

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

First phone i bought with my own money was an s6 and yeah it died after a year with some boot looping thing. Couldn't even get my photos off it so i lost a lot cos I didn't back shit up back then lol... Still pissed. Engaging with Samsung support to use the warranty also didn't work because their customer support website just didn't function at all

Got a windows phone after and ngl its still the best phone i ever used

Nokia 5110, back in the very late 90s was my first phone.

First cellular phone to make a phone call on? The Motorola 2950(i think) bag phone in my Aunt’s mid 90s convertible mustang. It only worked in certain parts of San Antonio, Tx. An average phone call cost about 15-20 bucks (back then calls were dollars per minute not minutes per dollar).

Now get off my fuckin lawn.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Bag phone? Damn. Waiting for the car phone users to roll in

Galaxy S4, I think. We got a phone pretty late for our age cohort though

Edit: to be honest I have no idea whether it was S4, S5, or S6

[–] AnExcellentSteelHorse@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

S4 was my first smartphone, back then there was an option to choose landscape mode as well as portrait and auto-rotate. We used to be a country.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Oh probably not S4 then...

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can’t remember the brand but the model was a1326s.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago
