I use an iPhone but I’ve kept my same SE for four years. The only way I’m “upgrading” is if this one just dies

That's the way to do it. Don't get me wrong, they work fine - especially if all your devices are apple things, because then everything will obviously always work well together because every part of it is owned by the same company.

The people buying the newest of the apple stuff are just being materialistic an I'm convinced that the older generations would do the same (actually I know they are doing the same) so naming an entire generation after a major brand is just kinda dumb 🤔 I mean we didn't name the older generations after cigarette brands either

oh ok

i'm going to my 2006 corner

You get your own corner? Sweet :0
 
2006?
Hhhhhh I kinda miss my Neopets phase

My neopets account got banned at some point for refreshing too hard in the shops. 🤔 Don't know the password anymore either so guess I'm never getting that back. Which is alright at this point, it's not as great as it once was

Yeah, I'm probably never getting my interest in playing back...
I still try to collect the irl plushies, but that kinda isn't the same...
 
I barely played Neopets

I played Nick. com, Girls Go Games, Club Penguin, Jumpstart 3D Virtual World, Webkinz, and Moshi Monsters.
and those old CD-ROM Disney Interactive games that i miss so much ;v;

Yea I got the whole not replacing stuff until it breaks thing from my parents. We had a washer/dryer set that was older than I am (we JUST replaced them last year and this year because they eventually broke down)! My parents had to eventually get 7s because their phones broke and they have a lot more problems with them.
I couldn’t imagine replacing these every 6 months just to get a SLIGHTLY better camera or screen. If I wanna take good pictures I’ll use my dedicated camera for that purpose...

I played neopets, webkinz and Shining stars (cool site where you “get” a star with your pet), and that Ty 2.0 thing from years back.

speaking of Ty 2.0, I have an...interesting story that is tangentially related to the McDonald’s promotion for that.

My dad's an electrician and I learned pretty quickly that a lot of things can be fixed. It's part of the reason why I have a windows computer and an android phone, I like messing with stuff to better fit the way I want to use it, and I like having the ability to repair it if that ends up breaking the thing (or if I can't do it myself, not paying obscene amounts for the repair is nice...)

My phones last about 5 years. I completely bricked the operating system on my last phone several times (oops) but it never actually broke, it simply wasn't fast enough anymore.

We aren’t that much into coding in our family. We do use windows devices for PCs tho (I’ve messed with a Mac once or twice at college and it’s a PAIN).

I don't code for my phones either, but I did use some bits of code made by smarter people online that made my phone so much nicer :D
This kills the warranty

I've used Apple devices very briefly in the past. The experience is always rather similar - Where are the buttons? Why can't I do this? Why won't you let me mess with that? Where are all the settings?

and other such questions
