That is not the kind of fingerprinting I am referring to. The one I am referring to is used for tracking you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had to wait for a long download because I can't remember I ever downloaded a huge file on my phone. come on, he's obviously running a Plex server on his phone so he needs the 5G to stream 1:1 Blu Ray 4K HDR movies /s I didn't read the whole thread just the last 4-5 pages but it seems people who think they NEED an expensive phone are just entrenched in their belief and nothing will change (what a surprise!?) I used to have a friend who would boast about his new Iphone he got every 6 months for thousands of dollars but I look unimpressed when I asked him to show me what his phone could do that my 7000 baht phone couldn't then he was at a loss apart from saying "better camera" then he went on a tirade saying that when he wanted to load an app it had to load INSTANTLY and not take 1-2 seconds so that was his reasoning why he would "need" to buy a 1000$+ phone more than once a year. for me, just like I think I read on a previous post, I have a 3 proper Desktop PCs (one backup for work and one for gaming) and here is what I use my phone for: 95% receiving phone calls from Lazada delivery, never call out wake up/work Alarms (sync to Xiaomi band) Online Banking (and Cardless withdrawing) Messenger and LINE chatting, video calls. Google Maps when driving etc Listening to music if in minivan/bus/motorbike (with headphone jack thank you) Smart house controls, turning off power bars/sockets/lights remotely etc 2 factor authentication App (have on PC) Photos (very rarely) I looked at my apps and don't see what else I would use and yes I can do all this very easily (and 10x more if I wanted/needed) from my 6000 baht Redmi Note 8 (i think it is) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for keeping fit and weight training. I can remember our doctor had one. The case was the same size as his medical bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoid street cameras. Don't use credit/debit cards. At least with a phone you can switch the thing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 This is funny. It seems some algorism adjusted to this thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
