• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

Nothing but several generations old Samsungs here, currently Galaxy A71. But my usage is minimal. Calls, text, basic camera. Pretty much zero "social Media". Absolutely zero banking/financial stuff on my phone. Only app is Cornell Ornithology's "Merlin". Oh, and many gig's of music on a SD card to bluetooth to the car's media system on road trips.
 
I started out with the brick and don’t really have a preference because anything is better than that.

No worries! That tells me it's probably too new for me. ;)

LOL! Living that!

I have iPhones, and iPads, because I am surrounded by family that makes poor decisions, and I get their broken stuff!

I figure the iPad I use most of the time, was around $1500+, new. It cost me a $12 screen, bought from China, on eBay...

Currently running an iPhone 8, the first gen of the not easily rebuild-able ones. Figure to dig out the iPhone 6's and 7's that I have stored away, if this one craps the bed. I'll run those, until the system absolutely rejects them, then only grudgingly, will I 'upgrade' to whatever the bare minimum that will work, is.

I have no interest in playing with AI, after have spent 30+ years married to an Ex that thought she was smarter than me, the last bloody thing I want in my life is technology that thinks the same way!
 
I have a Samsung S20, doesn't help though with Sask Tel's crappy service out here in the middle of no where. I live right near a red zone according to customer service, can loose the signal walking to the barn. Oh for the good old days, my bag phone never let me down. ;)
 
ha aha ya i had a couple or 3 bag phones when they first came out and they were a vast improvement over the old "XJ phones" we first had for mobiles....anybody that bitches over ANY of the new breeds has never had the pleasure of trying to negotiate the frustrations of those Xj's, you had to know where your intended caller was within 10 miles so you could "request the appropriate tower" to relay the call too....frustrating as hell...but it was all we had.
