@hazardwarning strength is very much a use it or lose it proposition, especially as you age.

@jws the functionality is similar to Nokia smartphones more than a decade ago, just with slightly better connectivity options and better processors.

@jws the phone has GPS and Google Maps, it just doesn’t continually track your location on the map. Which actually sounds like a bonus to me.

@matigo the camera is 2MP but that’s not a major concern for him. I haven’t checked the quality beyond that but can’t imagine it’s anything more than…barely functional. 😬

@variablepulserate blame @matigo for that. It was in relation to the 12GB I found the Google Chrome application taking up.
MiniMe decided he was done with a smartphone, so we bought him a flip phone with KaiOS on it. It actually has an App Store on it, surprisingly. Kinda reminds me of Nokia phones back in the day, only with better software.
The report from MiniMe: WhatsApp actually works, but the lack of real-time GPS might be a deal breaker for him.
It has Google Maps. It gives you fucking directions. Do you really need any more than that?
Meanwhile, a podcast app is available for it. Which sounds like a nice bonus to me.
@variablepulserate the cache should not be stored under the same directory as the app itself.

@matigo and it doesn't help my laptop only has a 256GB drive…and Chrome was taking up an amazing 12.3GB. Microsoft Office doesn't even take up that much space.
