Manufacturers for most devices are going cheap out on everything they can, see: cell phone industry and 3.5mm jacks, microSD card slots, etc. More storage ups the cost by quite a bit more than the storage itself actually costs for a new phone (but don't worry, the phone manufacturer offers cloud storage (as a paid service)!

Storage has improved amazingly over a short period of time, there's individual drives with more than 20 terabytes these days

  1. I totally agree with you

  2. Dude! I bought 16TB HDDs for my NAS for less than $300 each. What the hell!? I was paying just over $16 per terabyte!

I'm an old fart from the 1.44MB disc days. I thought burning DVDs was cool. This is just…

I have hundreds of movies and shows. I could watch 8hrs a day for a year and not rewatch anything in my collection. It's amazing. Rejoice in it

The MicroSD card thing really chaps my ass... You're already committing to a sim card slot, it's no effort at all to allow for a dual slot that also accepts a MicroSD card.

God I wish LG stayed in the phone market, fuckin loved my V50; 3.5mm with a nice DAC built in, microSD, fingerprint reader on the back.

I still have it, but there's no updates for it; I've thought about looking into something comparable to grapheneOS but didn't find anything for LG phones newer than the v40
