Quite an old joke.
I do miss my old Blackberry 9900
Had a dude try to BOD some old ass BlackBerry not even signed into a blackberry account. Can't do shit without those activation servers my guy sorry. Was cool to putz around on tho.
Blackberries are expensive AF, but delicious, and not sure why they are in this image about phones... (/s 😜)
I miss having a viable "3rd" option.
The rise of the iPhone and Android was a wild time back in the early 2010s.
A third Option would be bad. Many apps can't manage to build a good App for two platforms, imagine having to support 3. Also Android is so flexible you can build it into pretty much anything.
Private life no way but for my job where everything is microsoft. I would kill for a onedrive centered windows Phone with copilot ocr.
It's still shocking that Microsoft just couldn't come up with a decent third option at all. Goes to show that Windows only exists out of pure inertia at this point, and Microsoft is now incapable of building successful consumer products that people love using.
They did, about three times, each time abandoning it before the ecosystem could stabilize.
Admittedly, the last time nobody even wanted to buy in because everyone expected them to drop the OS within two years. Which they promptly did.
I had a windows phone. It was really good, it had all the functionality apps, it could run emulators, but it didn’t have the user base. Good compatibility with windows 8/8.1. But people hated those OSs. Microsoft was too late to pick up blackberry’s failing market and too early to capitalize on windows 10s popularity.
I would totally consider a Windows phone if they could actually pull it off.
I only run one hands free Linux system now, but a Linux phone would also be cool. It would have to be compatible with Google Play apps though as I need certain things for work.
Visual Studio Code is quite well liked
IMO MS for consumers and MS for developers are two totally different beasts. Typescript is also a beloved tech.
BlackBerrys were the only good thing to come out of Canada, besides Norm Macdonald.
Does French Canada count? Poutine is delicious.
Disco fries are better in every way.
I respect people's right to have the wrong opinion
Literally never hear of disco fries till now.
Apparently been making disco fries whenever I’m out of curds and I can tell you from experience that, no it’s definitely not better than a proper poutine.
Order a poutine with white truffle aioli if you can. So damn good.
What? You don't like milk in a bag? 😁
Gods, but how much do I miss my BB!
M-O-O-N and that spells moon!
Seriously though Canadians are shifty little fucks.
