Why do you need more than 128GB storage on your phone?

Photos which are 50 megabytes each.

Thousands of those.

@iiii wait photos r that big now....crap...

That new 50MP camera on the Pixel 6...

Then again you can always offload them to your computer/external HD?

Having a decent amount of music that also works with no network or in flight mode.

@donuts ha-ha. Offload to a drive. My mom literally filled a whole drive with endless photos.

To download all the fucked up shit going in the world from telegram. Then I can show all the idiots all the fucked up shit going on in the world that the media won't report.

@Fast-Nop thought those only took up like 5mb each unless you want lossless.

Then again I haven't listened to music in over a decade since becoming deaf.

On my phones, unless I'm on a trip without internet and take loads of videos, usually I have longer 20GB free.

@donuts I have 200 GB of music and audiobooks on my PC, everything as MP3. I'll never lose that due to some streaming platform closing down or removing it from their offers.

My first hard drive was 40 Mbyte ….., had to create two partitions since msdos 3.2 could only create 32 Mbyte partitions.

50 Mbyte photos ……

@Fast-Nop You listened to all the audiobooks/want to listen to them again?

YouTube/Internet

But still that's a lot of music to put on a phone.

@donuts I've downloaded them preemptively because the sharehoster would remove the files. For the ones I already know, I will forget them so that I can enjoy listening to them again later. :)

The actual music is less than that, maybe like 150 GB, but that's on top of taking photos or, even worse, videos with the smartphone.

On iPhones they use the shityiest space consuming video file format ever invented

@jAsE-cAsE Nearly as quickly as a phone is lost in space.

*ba dum tss*

Why do you need more than 640 KiB RAM?

A good camera is important to me!

@happygimp0 because I want to play my 1990s tsr games damn it !

Remember these ?

Before we briefly had these which people ruined by trying to turn the country into a chomo filled hell hole ?

Photos / videos / memes
I see no other reason.

I want the phone to be able to keep for 3 to 5 years without running out of space (yes I'm lazy to clean up and yes everything is synced to OneDrive)

@AvatarOfKaine I did not play so much ADD but about a dozen other rpg’s :)

@Voxera yeah ssi put out a wholllee bunch of them when I was a kid.

@Voxera ha I worked for a company with the same acronym as a an adult lol

4k on 6.5"

ppl are weird

Never worrying about ENOSPC.

Also, MicroSD guards against data loss if your USB port breaks.
