I know what it usually refers to and the 30% they charge developers isn’t really relevant because it doesn’t make the apps cost 30% more. Apple includes 50gb of iCloud which is more than enough if you don’t store pictures there.
What phone are you using? ;)

Didn’t Dan recently report issues with WhatsApp going from Samsung to Pixel or vice versa?
One point is that I was referring to moving WhatsApp from Apple etc.

The other point is, as a personal DP, I moved my WhatsApp from lg to pixel without any issues. I don't have experience with Samsung. I used the Google drive backup and restore.

Is the galaxy s22 slower than the s20? It's got less ram
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

I believe there's an option on the s22 for using some of the storage and converting that into RAM

Cool idea, but similar to virtual memory on a computer it’s hard to believe this performs as good as the built-in RAM.

I left it the defualt 6, think of those apps in the background that you want the state saved but they don't need to be accessed as quickly.

Anyone know of the catch is with the verizon 700$ off? Im on their cheapest plan (I think its unlimited) and the pixel 6 pro 256gb would be free ($0 a month for 36 months). Is the phone not mine for 36 months even though its free?

Thoughts on galaxy s22 256gb for 308$ with trade-in of s20? Any likelihood I can get a match of extra accessory credit later?

Maybe do the FI deal for 500 off as well as  255 back on trade for total cost of ~$100  for new phone +100 for service (-50 with Amex offer )

Yeah, I'll do a similar deal for 200 from best buy. I don't think I can get much better than that without shtick
