How many people even remember MMS these days
All of me.
I do! I also remember using WAP to read the news. Well, my first venture on the internet was December 24 1994, so I am old...
These days, WAP is something completely different.
Yeah, Wireless Access Point obviously. Duh
I'm old, so old that I have no idea what you're talking about. Care to indulge an old man?
It's a popular song by Cardi B. WAP stands for Wet Ass Pussy
That's right up my alley 🤓
Right up your WAP or...?
A wireless access point? People still use them all the time… (also old here)
nah, Wireless Application Protocol - a way of serving web pages that was very similar to the HyperCard technology of the time.
Ah, the memories of checking football scores on a Nokia 3330 in school playgrounds...
Oh yeah, that. I didn’t have a mobile then so almost completely missed that even existing, but now it does sound familiar having been dredged up from the depths of my memory.
Holy. Fuck. I didn't think of that 🤣
Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?
I don't know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.
Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.
Because my 15 year older brother got it for Christmas for the family that year. We open gifts on the 24th, which if why I remember it.
I know one person still using MMS, because they refuse to get a Internet capable cellphone.
There is one phone in our family that can send them SMS, everyone else gets error messages. How is that even possible? I thought SMS are standardized.
MMS is no longer universally supported among carriers
And nothing of value was lost.
Fine by me, but why can't I send them SMS?
Missed that. Which side gets the error? The sender? Must be carrier weirdness.
Alternatively, they opted in for RCS somewhere somehow but they don't have an online RCS client so RCS capable senders get errors unless you explicitly set the app to send SMS only to this person
This post is a millennial trap, so I'd think most people here?
