I’m talking about MST, which was actual hardware on the phone used in conjunction with software to fool card readers into thinking you swiped the actual card, even if they didn’t support nft. It was super handy and easy for the shops that haven’t upgraded yet.

The US was actually one of the first places the feature was removed, because (according to Samsung) there’s not really a need for it anymore since so many places adopted tap to pay so early. So we are actually just too far ahead in that regard for my taste lol. It’s also probably good to note that I haven’t seen this feature since the S20. (Also I definitely think Samsung exaggerated that and it was just cheaper to get rid of).

Still a very handy feature that I miss, there’s ALWAYS places you go that are still behind tech-wise XD

I never claimed otherwise? OP asked what a nifty feature on old gadgets was that’s not on newer gadgets, and I said that. That’s an old feature that’s not on newer gadgets, and it was very handy at the time because very few stores had adopted tap to pay. Would it be AS handy today? Certainly not, but there have still been times I’ve missed it when a store doesn’t have tap to pay.

Yes it’s outdated. Isn’t that the whole point of everything in this thread??? I just keep getting more confused lol

Edit: to clarify, the phone I had had BOTH MST and NFC. NFC had actually already been around and MST was the new thing at the time. It was simply a cool additional feature.

That’s like saying it’s ok that they removed the headphone jack because Bluetooth is newer technology? And I know it’s not an app issue, I was complaining about a hardware removal? I’m so confused after this comment lol

It was MST, I know some Samsung phones had them, and it was used at credit card checkouts for stores that don’t have the nft/tap to pay. As far as I know it literally spoofed the magnetic field your credit card makes, so the credit card reader would think you swiped it. Super handy at stores that aren’t caught up with the tech when you didn’t have your wallet lol

Well I haven’t owned one since college, but I was a cell phone salesman, so I loved it too. And I’m glad I already knew about that and used a comma as punctuation after “lol,” but thanks for the info I guess? Fair warning, this is the Internet, and you might run into more people like me :o

ADBLOCK YOUR DNS. Seriously surprised how many free users see ads with sync lol, how do you guys live with so many ads on your phone

Tier1BuildABear,
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

Sync, with adblock

I need to eat too, and I don’t like ads lmao. Maybe the premium version should be worth buying.

Tier1BuildABear,
@Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world avatar

Also, adblock on your DNS and I can’t even tell I’m on the free version! Never seen an ad

OH sorry I read your comment too fast lol. For that I used lemmy migrate on GitHub, I have about 5 accounts across different instances and they all have mostly the same communities subscribed. I just go in and resync if I’ve subbed to any new ones lately, and it’ll tell you which ones don’t sync (like if one’s defederated or blocked or something in other instances).

Just always be careful before throwing your credentials willy nilly into tools like this github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

Edit: I see the other guy responded with lasim which I’ve also heard is good

He loves all the murders, rapists, torturers, pedophiles, etc. for who they are, because that’s who he is. It’s a great big ol’ party of everyone doing what they want, including Satan, so, yeah, you might get tortured or raped here and there but hey at least it’s all inclusive
