that period of time when android phone reviewers had to include "freezer runs" in their benchmark results because the phones got so hot they throttled down that subsequent period of time where phone manufacturers were cheating on benchmarks by selectively disabling power management when they detected certain app bundles (only benchmarks, nothing useful) were running

meat sweats posted:There was absolutely no use case for a tablet that only ran non-existent Blackberry apps and had a significant chance of become permadead if you forgot to plug it in for a weekend, when it cost exactly as much as the equivalently specced iPad or Samsung. If you bought one for $50 after it was shitcanned then sure. yeah but that was still the era of people saying "why does anyone need an ipad when these are perfectly fine? steve jobs stealing another idea from bill gates!!!"

i definitely went to college more recently than a lot of posters so i had some early cloud services i was using even in high school. they are funy tech poo poo i just remembered: - windows live skydrive, and the lawsuit from bskyb that got it renamed onedrive - adobe had an online office suite, i think they acquired an online word processor called buzzword that was written entirely in flash. - i actually used lala before it got acquired by apple and shut down. it took them literally almost a decade to produce a web-based music player again - vague memories of storing some files on this thing called openomy in middle school, don't remember anything else
