My old ass remembers when XDA was a place where you learned how to put Android on your windows phone
Yeah I remember getting the G1 weeks before it came out because the local TMobile store was just sick or me asking every fucking day. I remember rooting it, loving it, then moving to the n900 and thinking “I want this forever” only for fucking Microsoft to buy Nokia and tank Meego
That was the XDA forums, I never found their site very usefuly, but maybe that’s just me.

putting Android on the HTC HD2. Man college me wanted that phone so badly. And a lot of HTC’s phones tbh

XDA will write articles these days like:
- How this wallpaper has proven how I’ve been using computers wrong for 30 years
- These gloves improved my typing speed 300%
- I painted my NAS red and you won’t believe the improvements
