gollark: Also, the images are probably downscaled a lot and they likely drop some other media bits.
gollark: Heavily compressed and minus revision history/user pages/talk pages, yes.
gollark: Wikipedia is only 85GB or so, so I'd still have room for other stuff. 15GB if I don't need images, actually.
gollark: I'm also getting a 128GB micro-SD card so I can save a copy of Wikipedia in case I get bored and don't have an internet connection.
gollark: See, I've been at home for basically three months so my laptop and occasionally bad 2015 tablet work for most stuff, *but* next week we're apparently going to "Beadnel" so I need a usable phone for that.
