It died! (Patreon)

So you remember how my month to off to a rocky start because I left a lot of my possessions in the back of a relative's car and had to get them mailed back to me? Well one  of those items was my cellphone which had the case and battery back removed during an (Illegal?) inspection.

Well cut to today, and the old thing died!

Granted I've had that phone since 2015, and it was a Chinese aftermarket from a company that is now banned from doing business with the US. But it was mine dammit! 

My first smart phone ever. Purchased from a Wal-Mart for $99 and taken out of my pay check at on of the worst temp jobs I ever worked at. 2 Gigabytes of local storage data capable of storing Twitter, Discord, Calculator and...

Oh how I'll miss it's microphone that demanded I yell into it, lest the person on the other end not hear me.

Oh how shall I pine for the days of watching YouTube videos at 360p so that it wouldn't overheat in my hand.

Will there every be another testament to mans ingenuity, then a phone camera too ill focused that it can't read QR codes?

Rest now my friend. Rest. For your job here is done.

And now I can say ZTE Maven z812, that we salute you!
