PiP won’t work with two media apps? Ugh, I was hoping I could watch two sports games concurrently! Especially during times like now and October, where you have playoff games of one sport and the regular season swing of your favorite teams in the other. I can do this with my Tab S8! If only it could work natively.

Hey, I will take any excuse to get more Kike in the lineup!

On one hand, amazing athletic ability by Mookie to convert to yet another position! On the other hand, I really hope Lux figures it out. His throws have been rough to put it kindly so far. His errant throws can easily cause Freddie an injury by trying to save his terrible arm in regular season games.

I have one with the nail clipper and small scissors, and it’s been such a lifesaver! The clippers are actually better than most of the dedicated clippers I’ve used. I’m hoping they come up with a bigger version with a few more tools attached, and more interesting materials for a back up pair!

I also noticed a gap, and I’m wondering if it’s where the ad banner is now. I really hope not and that this is just a visual bug, because it’s pretty glaring and distracting.

Do you need a stickied notification? Not sure if that’s enough for what you’re looking for, but a reminder/task app with reoccurring options and a non-dismissable feature might work. Ruppu, Taskito, and I think Microsoft’s To Do might also have this option.

Repeating reminder: DO NOT CALL between 10pm-2am would work, for example.

A lot of comments in this thread defending OEMs from customer’s benefits, which is disheartening to me, but I’m sure joyous for shareholders. I see comments saying you should buy premium phones that have SD cards, but there aren’t many options. The only one is a $1400 Xperia I V. I would love nothing more to have the SD card on only the “ultra” variants, if costs are too much of an issue for those who don’t use the feature, but there’s not much “ultra” in the “Ultra” variant besides an extra camera or two.

For those who are baffled by what we hoard on our devices, why does it matter? Do we ask what you do on your phone when there doesn’t seem to be anything on them? “I barely use 50GB on my device” and “128GB is more than enough for me” seem to be the prevailing notion here, and it’s frustrating since your demographic is already highly represented on the market. It’s similar to those who wish there wasn’t a selfie cam because they never used it, ignoring all the video calls millions use on a daily basis.

But maybe an answer might stop the “curiosity” of the sparse data hoarders, and they might understand our plight. On my 1TB SD Card, I currently have:

220GB Audiobooks 18GB Music 34GB Pictures 330GB Videos, Movies, and TV Shows 10GB Work and Project Files 12GB Podcasts 14GB Games

As someone who is frequently in low-signal areas, especially while driving, streaming is not an option. My media has entertained me during flights, public transit commutes, working out, jury duty, and the DMV. I also don’t want to transfer my media in and out of my device (I do back up my data wirelessly to my own server), nor do I want to bring an adapter when the technology is already embedded inside.

So OP, I feel you, and I’m hoping SD cards comeback.

Julio pitched terribly today, but you can’t win them all. I will say that this raises some real concerns about re-signing him this offseason.

I was a Samsung loyalist, up until my current phone, the Note 20 Ultra. Their decisions since then have me questioning what’s out there for the first time in my life. There is almost NO significant differences between Android phones anymore once they stripped away what made them unique - hardware superiority (e.g., SD card slot, magstripe payment, etc.) with solid software. Had they kept their $0.50 pieces of hardware, they’d have whatever the profit margins of the upcoming S24U would be from my wallet, and probably more valuable to them, blind loyalty without brand curiosity.

But at this point, I’m just waiting for more reviews for the Sony Xperia I V.
