This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Three years ago I predicted Apple would remove wifi from phones and call it a feature.
So far, I was wrong. Thank fuck.
Android got rid of NFC and Beam
NFC isn't going anywhere, what are you on about?
I mean Google Pay works, and that's about it. I used to be able to read RFIDs and emulate my train pass, but it just "doesn't recognize" it.
Beam was a mixture of NFC and Bluetooth/WiFi direct if I recall correctly. So while it isn't going anywhere, a lot of functionality was lost.
I see. Never used NFC for much other than mobile pay, pairing Bluetooth devices and occasionally reading NFC tags for specific tasks. RFID or NFC train passes aren't a thing where I live and I don't think I ever used Beam or something like it with NFC (nowadays there is Nearby Share which is just Bluetooth, I think). So I was confused why you would say Android removed NFC, because for me it works just like it has from the beginning.
