Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Buying and adding a MicroSD card

to the ZTEMajestyProLTE

and it's not working to extend

the OS, just data, no apps,

so wondering how much of it's

what?

 

 

Body

 

Original Text

 

Expandable to 32Gig

and add a store brand

32Gig MicroSD

and it's not working to move

the apps to SD to make more space,

so an extremely limited machine

at < 8 Gig Storage

and less than 1 Gig RAM equivalent

having to delete apps from the 

main memory/storage

after filling it up about the first day,

with all the stuff, and wondering

some apps will move, if the machine/

OS were capable, and some will not,

Google's Apps for instance like to be on 

main storage, some games don't go SD,

and over time a Samsung tablet,

without any cell/data chip,

only WiFi would expand,

the Alcatel,

some of them, would expand,

depending upon how I put it in

(one I did one way, to learn,

and one the other,

I, of course, wanted

the best of both worlds,

portable and OS extending,

but no luck there...),

and looked up some things

after the fact, like

Tom's Hardware Guide,

describing some big name brands

will, and some will not,

I had problems originally

understanding it, and maybe still do,

if machine/device that have an external

slot, perhaps a misnomer,

as this one is inside the case,

good for somethings,

less likely for a raindrop to get in?

but not voiding warranty like the battery

removal, but also doesn't fall out as 

easily, and may have regulations for

size of LiPo/ LiPoly/LithIon and

security, taking it in, all built in,

may have some rules, instead of

must remove battery, like ammo

actually, travelling, but if not common

size and easily available batteries,

say like GoPros and other cameras,

WearableCameras2015

many outlets have them,

and charge up on one,

and replace in another,

don't have time to recharge,

and switching machines

takes too long,

say one configured one way,

and boot time v. configuring,

storing where/how,

setup, etc...

 

Anyways, given trying those

and not really into the LTE part,

as that costs money, learned

a little about 4G v. LTE,

(Long Term Evolution),

a little after 4G came out,

and not all of 4G

which may be a (1?) Gig/Second,

Upper Limit, actual rate maybe

1/10th of that, kind of like the newer

AC models of WiFi dual band,

and other stuff, that has passed me

by, somewhat, N, 802.11N,

and S were both old and

New at the same time,

S being Mesh Networking,

with OLPC XO-1, but not in 2,

and N being relatively new

compared to A, B, etc..

back in the day, but geezer

talk and get back to it...

 

Trying to diagnose the MyHospital

crashing problems,

start with a clean machine/

device, don't load all the extras,

and not run out of Storage,

which is confusing term,

given virtual memory,

swap space on disk for

RAM equivalent,

and hard drive now solid state,

not SSD, but similar,

not spinning spindles, disks,

like the olden days,

but quality of memory cards

price comparisons,

say $10 for 32Gig

house brand but costs in privacy

and problems just buying them

with receipts and emailing those,

not cooperating, wanted/said he stepped

threatened to step on my merchandise,

bought some other discount stuff,

old Parallax Basic Stamp, and AdaFruit,

and other clearance, and didn't

want to lose the receipt,

so gave personal info,

the clerk added what I omitted/

deleted verbally he said publicly,

(I notice the paper receipt says

"we value your privacy, " or similar

then goes into just online the next sentence)

risking privacy, already had

kids staring, and later a line formed behind,

so the problems leading up to Black Friday

continue, poor get screwed, treated

badly, and likely try to charge,

ala CVSConspiracy2017

i guess they wanted me to buy

Blu devices, and the Big Box

(= expensive) mentality,

when I had pushed for DIY,

when asked but the sales probably don't

know that, the management may

have changed, and other issues,

abound...

 

Cash makes a difference,

maybe use a bank card and get your 

info automagically added to confirm,

but then didn't receive, with hateful,

gang like violence, verbal, in the background,

and someone fired again? 

 

Later a drunk like attacked,

someone said he just got fired,

cut him some slack?

and then went to get even,

stalking?

StalkingByProxy2013

StalkersBeDamned2016

and many other references to those up here)

 

Also, since no e-receipt,

no ticket number

for How Was Your Experience?,

like customer surveys,

likely deliberately covering up the abuse,

that didn't work, and others may have

gotten into emails, and other problems,

selling security software on the Samsung

and that wants Location, and other problems,

to possibly be mentioned elsewhere,

and legal measures...

 

Google ironically wants to know

where you do your holiday shopping

with new Maps and local guides...

Review a place, get some credits

for something, and take pictures of

places, get something, all on a rewards

like scheme, but nothing mentioned

of legalities of taking photos much

less video (might have conversations...)

inside someone else's store/ location...

 

 

 

Modified Text

 

Lots of branching/

going on tangents above,

getting angry at the remembered  

experience of just shopping for a

cheap $10 32Gig card

where other places it might be

3-4+x the cost, name brand

like SanDisk, Samsung memory,

and others...

 

What's Missing?

 

OS releases matter

Oreo may exists,

Nougat (sp?) likely popular

 

the newest I have is

 

Marshmellow (6?)

with some minor updates,

 

LolliPop (5?, I don't think I have)

 

KitKat (4.xx?) supported it,

but who makes and

modifies the system software

ultimately decides if it is

only extra storage (portable),

or can run as helping the OS,

which severely limits

what can be done with some

machines/devices, imnsho...

 

 

What Can Be Found?

 

FUD

(Fear Uncertainty Doubt)

Must pay more for things

to work, buy the best names

you can, or you're screwed,

and pay for consulting,

need sales, and other dependency

issues abound..

 

Marketing speak,

which is meaningless,

technically...

 

Terms got muddled with 4G

and LTE, read up on some of that,

like VHS and BetaMax,

and other standards, put one out,

and see how the market responds,

if more went with LTE than the original

4G, then we  can mush them together

into 4G LTE as most people wouldn't

know the difference anyways...

 

What Can Not Be Found?

 

Reasonable experiences for poor,

non technical, and even for technical

poor...

 

TechShop closed

 

YouthBikeSummit2017

toured it, I went looking during

lunch, didn't fit my schedule,

and wasn't really allowed in,

back, had to be with the tour,

but walked the store part of it,

and maybe put up... Chapter 7,

not 11 restructuring, and their

website talks of their accomplishments,

in PDF glossy terms..

US ones closed, foreign

staying open, as different corp

entities, TechShop Global or similar,

a few out there... Paris, Dubia (sp?)

 

 

How To Analyze?

 

Lenses

 

Google

 

Ultimately the Android authority...

 

Sales

 

Whatever gets money and out the door...

 

Users

 

Well, losers, the genera term,

we didn't build it,but if no one uses,

and buys it, maybe not worth the trouble...

 

Developers

 

Might know a little more than the others,

Nexus owners, other in the know,

started early with the standard

machine, but alas, all the world

goes Pixel2 by now, when some

don't even have Pixel1s...

 

Journalism

 

Blogging and others, citizen journalists,

might even have advertisers to think

about pissing off...

Google's AdSense?

 

BuyerBeware

 

Well, money is the root of all evil,

unless you are making some off of

it, then maybe it's ok...

 

Assumptions

 

Maybe the old SYMS tagline:

"an educated consumer is our best 

customer" (tm elsewhere),

parsing that most educated people

would need to dress up,

like suit and tie,

unlike geeky skunkworks

or Apple black t shirts,

and counter culture, casual

Fridays, etc...

 

Time Limits

 

Memory cards and standards change,

Compact Flash and that standard

is/ was kind of parallel, but more

BetaMax 1/4 inch video Tape,

when the world went DVD

now BluRay?

Conclusion

 

Summary of experience or similar

 

So no winning as poor,

really, one blog/ forum,

you bought Chinese,

you're screwed,

sounded typical Nationalism,

but most are probably Chinese

of one label or another,

Apple may be an American

company, but made in China,

and Taiwan, and other former/

South Korea, and other Asian

differences, which I won't get into,

(for now) as Trump just went there,

and  China holds most of America's debt,

IIRC, so might not want to be

so, well, Trump about anything...

 

Keep trying, some learning,

but much bleeding edge,

spending to learn, much like

college, classes, and learn

by doing, experiment with low

cost (relatively), and learn

from there...

 

Discussion

 

A place for feedback on the page presented

 

What checks can you do?

 

Ahead of time?

Or burned, then whine about it,

maybe online?

 

Yelp for phones, when no data plan?

Can't look up, in the store,

as don't bring out a phone,

as they may claim that is theirs'

unless they don't sell those,

and then what software to look up

on?

 

Sales just wanted to put stickers on

Cards, hit and run, sticker, get sales,

and commission, I talked with one

guy who was buying for a new dash

cam, and all, or some of the issues

with that, a rag top, road rage,

forward facing, backward facing,

maybe do something with some

of it?  What would you do if someone

you knew was killed on the road?

 

Pre Vision Zero?

one of the 301 traffic deaths

about 50% not wearing seat belts

this holiday weekend, nationally?

That is probably mostly vehicular, not

bicyclists, pedestrians, and other modes

of transit...

 

Most bicyclists and motorcyclists

don't wear seatbelts, last I knew...

RoboDog excepted, but he/she/it

doesn't really have riding leathers...

 

Much less a wetsuit...
