 Well. I have a new phone. And it’s basically the same as the old one. 🤷‍♂️ 
 So disappointing right? Lol 
 Ha. Yeah. Though, this one is biiiig so I guess I have that going for me 
 Where are the nineties when you need them. 
 Why did you change? 
 My wife’s phone can’t hold a charge for more than an hour. Update trickle down economics 😂 
 It’s always the charges! My MacBook just recently went to the island of lost laptops that can no longer hold a charge. So sad :( https://image.nostr.build/83559329fca5200ec6460cdc045ba30a4e21efd8d421de88c3f5847c6f1f4a1d.jpg  
 I replaced the battery in 2011 MacBook Air a few months ago and flashed a lightweight flavor of Linux on it. It’s like a brand new machine. Kind of amazing and perfect first laptop for the kids. 
 @jb55 ? 
 I’ve done this too! 
 Swap out the battery for the spare one... oh wait, nvm.  Nostralgia got to me. 😏 
 Why did you buy it? 
 That was their plan 
 last time I had a new phone it was even worse of the previous one on a lot of aspects, even if the previous costed me less money. 
 You may be too young to remember this 💿 but that reminds of The Who song “Won’t Get Fooled Again” lyric 🎵 “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”.  Truly a great album and an underrated rock and roll band imho 
 Phenomenal song and great album. Listened to it just last week actually! 
 Let me guess … an iPhone ? they got me too…. 🫢 
 Haven't they been the same for like 5 years now.
