  • Mine shows 702mb of user data after about 6 months of call history. However I don't find this very unreasonable for the feature set provided.

    The app continues to function offline so I could imagine a cache of the information gets generated once the application is launched and permissions granted.

    First off, it appears to source contact information, this appears to be standardized because access is backed by the Contacts permission scope. I imagine it caches this information, because it also builds an index of your contacts in order to drive the t9 dialer search.

    The phone also offers integration for voicemail and visual voicemail transcriptions. These would either need to be stored in the app, or associated with the data if it rests outside of the apps directory.

    Finally there is the call history. It looks like Android has a standard location for this because it has its own permisson scope.

    This means, in order to maintain functionality when offline, the app would have to store associations to contacts, the call history, voice transcription text, and voicemail audio.

    The look up of this information could be slow to do each time a tab is opened so it likely stores these associations in a local database for quicker access. That local database would need to be stored in the apps directory contributing to its size.

  • So they forked, gave mono away and asked that everyone use their fork?

    It seems like they're hoping to gain a significant chunk of the mono community directly into .net.

    That could be good or bad I suppose.

  • Airbnb doesn't protect the tenant enough.

    I've been charged for a locksmith because the instructions state "leave the key on the table" but the dumbass landlord doesn't have a spare key.

    I only find it helpful for renting homes during group trips. Otherwise I'll always go to a hotel.

    Similarly, I will always use cabs in NYC, never an Uber.

  • Speaking of hard Windows things being easy on Gnome. The Gnome smb and rdp sharing capabilities work simply turning them on.

    In Windows it's a whole mess trying to force it to refresh the network or wait for that diagnostic loading bar while it resets everything for it to sometimes work.
