Читать книгу Android Smartphones For Seniors For Dummies - Marsha Collier - Страница 34

I do have friends (myself included) who have enjoyed older devices for many years. I use a Wi-Fi 2016 Huawei MediaPad M3 tablet that runs Android 7 daily. A friend, until recently, wouldn’t let go of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and another, a Samsung Galaxy 6 from 2015. Holding on this long isn’t a recommended practice, and the device may not be secure, but when you enjoy using a device, it’s often hard to change.

I’m planning to repurpose an old Android phone as a dashcam — and I’m looking forward to seeing the fun videos it takes. All you need is a windshield mount, a car charger adapter, a long cable, and an app like AutoBoy Dash Cam. (The Google Play store lets you know whenever the app you select is incompatible with your handset.). Just be sure not to leave your phone in the car to bake in the sun.

I already converted an old phone into a security camera. Being green (and creative) saves tech from the landfill.
