I always found very dumb that you can't use MicroSDs for anything on cellphones. You can't install sames on them, you can't save camera photos on them, you can't set the app media folder in them. You just have to manually move the things you want, and then lose access to them inside the apps...

The problem is most SD cards are cheap memory, they aren't designed for the rigorous constant rewriting the memory in your hard memory. SD cards fail a lot and phone companies don't want the blame for you losing your pruff

I have an SD card for my phone. I only use it for all the music I download and pictures of my kid. That way when I get a new phone I can transfer it all over to it. But I never lose access to it. The pics still show up in the gallery and songs in the music app. Been using the same SD for a couple phones now.

I've had videogame systems that read game and save data from the SD and never had any problems with it.
If data "safety" was an issue, the smartphone could just write easily redownloadable data on the SD card, such as apps and games, and user data and settings on the smartphone itself.
But they don't do that, and I'm sure a big reason is that they want users to just buy a phone with a bigger memory.

Yes that's part of it, but we are a bit conditioned that it's the phones fault if it loses our stuff.

If a game system glitches, do you blame it for the hardware or software. Phones always seem to get blamed, and not the accessory memory

That's what that memory is meant for, but game and app data is constant read write, and at a speed for the cpu to load everything. Imagine the pause when you load pictures up, now imagine loading an app with that same pause constantly. Most SD cards aren't rated for that stuff

I hate hot weather and humidity so my list is the inverse. Where I am we only get snow once or twice a year though.

Same. you cant do much to get away from the heat. I can always add a layer in the cold.

Yeah that makes sense. I've only ever used any SD card I've had for pics and music. I have thousands of pics of my kid from before birth to now and that is memories I'd really hate to lose. Same with the songs. Thousands and would hate to have to redownload those.

Where I am there isn't snow.
I don't like extreme cold, but I do like colder weather (if I'm indoors).
Being snuggly with a coat and some warm blankete are way better than melting even if you're naked on home...

Good morning to y'all and your cups of joe!

Same, where I originally lived it was usually pretty cold, except for the Summer. Now I'm living in misery in the sweltering weather. It's starting to cool off now, but I hate the heat.

 

[MattShizzle]

I HATE snow. Especially hate cold weather as I'm now anemic and feel cold in the low 70°s and also have arthritis, etc so even if it's warm in if it's cold out my joints hurt. Also, around here there aren't fresh fruit and vegetables for the most part when it's not warm and I don't eat frozen or canned vegetables.

I think this is the only use, manually selecting what media you want there.
The gallery works because it shows all media in internal and external storage, but if you move WhatsApp photos and videos for example, you won't be able to see it anymore from the conversations.

I worked as IT support for years, I always blame the user!

Like I said, I've had many videogame systems that ran games from SD without any issue. If the SD card is not a bootleg, I think it would work just fine.
If it's pirated or such... Well, it's not really surprising if they fail...
But my point was, not even common apps like WhatsApp let you put the media folder on the SD.
I don't open received photos and videos frequently, and those occupy a lot of space, but I don't want to lose it nor manually move it all the time, so it's very cumbersome...

I recommend warming up first. Maybe a stretch.

It's really a testament to the show and voice actress that I can hear Harleys voice even in a gif

Yeah, pretty lackluster day so far. Anything exciting going for you?

I said I think it's the greatest animated Superhero show, earlier. Harley was created for the show, ended up gaining so much popularity that she was integrated into the comics. Now we get stuff like Gotham City Sirens, which are usually pretty awesome!
