The Things We Forget
Sep. 5th, 2016 12:11 amI was over Ree-Ree's for her brother's birthday and poking at her while she was being her typical self and...my phone stopped recording video. It told me I was out of space. Huh?
Turns out video consumes a lot of memory. Who'da thunk?
When we got home, I removed my (faulty) LifeProof case so it could finish drying out. Meanwhile, B handed me the box and excelsior from her birthday S7, expecting me to pack it away-slash-whatever dorks do with that sort of thing. Since all the stars seemed to point in the right direction, I used the removal tool in her box to pop open my SIM/memory slot, plug my chip into an adapter and remove all of 2015's pics and video from my chip. Unfortunately, that was only 3,000 pics/vids of 13,000--but that buys me 30GB.
What to do, what to do...? There's a 128GB chip onboard now. Sandisk's 200GB chip is much slower than the one in my phone. Samsung's 256GB chip is horrifically expensive. Or I could simply back up more photos to my home desktop and a hard disk at work for posting and discussion.
My problems are certainly NOT the worst you can have. Nevertheless, feh.
