    Maybe, but as a rule I don’t care for watching videos on my tablet, anyway. I prefer my computer.

    My phone is newer and can handle everything that my tablet can’t, but with it being a 2020 model, its probably only a matter of time where I stsrtseeing the crashing issue (despite technically being compatible with the app). The crashing issue has happened with every one of my devices over the years eventually. It’s one of the ways they keep us buying new devices.

    Again, my tablet works and it works well. But outside of discord and lemmy/reddit, it’s become largely useless. Yet, because the mobile tech moves so quickly, they would have me see it send it to a landfill already.

      It could be degraded storage, older tablets and some low end tablets have emmc storage which degrades quicker iirc. Also sometimes a good factory reset can do wonders if your device is borked. But it sounds like you’ve moved on anyways

        There is a lot of hidden data, something like a good 70% of my drive is taken up by “pther” and doesn’t tell me what “other” means or to get rid.a factory reset could help.

        I do use this tablet still. Mostly for discord, reddit/lemmy before I go to sleep and sometimes when I wake up. The tablet works for those purposes.
