TLDR: First dinner with whole family, already 3 smartphones to "repair".

They buy cheap phones with just 8 GB of storage and then ask me to solve their issues with "insufficient space on the device" without removing pictures and videos because of course they are not aware of concepts like pc/cloud backup or using SD card as main saving location.
At least these phones are full of bloatware so I can easily disable something to gain enough storage to get rid of the notification (tricking them into believing that I solved all of their problems) while I set SD card as default and enlighten them about the wonders of Google Photo and its auto-clean function.

I'd really like to ignore them, but unfortunately that's the only kind of relationship I have with my relatives, I know that sucks but at least is something.

And I actually prefer to spend some minutes on someone else's phone than talk about politics or try to explain what exactly is my job and what I am studying 🙄

    Google Photos is a real lifesaver for all lazy people, I always explain them that it backups to cloud when you are sleeping and gives you extra space *when you want*. They get amazed and let me play games 5 mins more 🤤

    @vexusia if you download empty space, you would download full space too 🤔(dark matter and normal matter)

    @melezorus34 it works as a way of saying "i don't touch your phone".
    With windows is like saying "i don't invite, i have a mac". And suddenly family stops nagging you.
