Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years … I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can’t connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google’s old apps can still get live data without problems.
Yes, it’s a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.
It doesn’t have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it’s far newer than the old Android phone.
I can’t use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there’s nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.
I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.
For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.
Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.
Most of what’s held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I’ve never had with a PC. I’ve had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software
Thanks! So far it’s really really good and everything works (the WM is so nice), except I can’t use HDMI from my laptop which might be a show stopper :-/
This is great, because it located me about a full day’s drive from where I live, so I’m still pretty anonymous :-)
Ah ok, now I understand … though it’s not something that I’d get excited about I’m glad the idea has you feeling enthusiastic :-)
Apparently it already has the stuff I use, so full steam ahead for me! :-)
So, there’s another Connect out there for something else? Or the poster above wants the maker of Connect for Lemmy to release their source code?
Has anything that starts with an X been poisoned now? If I were xstore’s marketing department I’d feel a little on edge right now.
In other news this headline made me feel old, it took ,e a while to understand what it was trying to say
I just found Haiku R1 Beta 4 exists yesterday, and today read that it has an X11 API interpreter, so I’m going to give it a try over the weekend by chucking an old HDD in my laptop and running it natively … if it recognises my old laptop’s WiFi I’ll try it on a longer term basis :-)
Have I missed something? I’m writing this comment using Connect for Lemmy
Try Haiku, it’s the current open source version of BeOs (currently on it’s 4th Beta release) and it runs on x86 hardware.
Or what about just using a bare bones Linux as a wrapper for an emulator? Then you could try running something like Workbench 3.9 or MacOS 9, which makes browsing the web an interesting experience … plus, cute icons :-)
Kai trucks are made to fit within a size limit for vehicles in inner cities in Japan, as a result there’s a whole load of odd tiny vehicles still available today.
The closest we get in Europe now are the “heavy quadricycles”, but again they’re made for a specific legal niche (or for specific jobs, like the Aixam Mega Truck for things like park maintenance).
Either way, small vehicles are unfortunately unsafe because there’s no crumple zones, so outside of slow-burning town centers they’re a bad idea (and in town centers it’s better to not have cars at all) so we’re unlikely to see more cute tiny vans in the future … except for things like the electric truck you saw, which can cover commercial needs in zero emissions areas, but again specialised use.
They used to be (see: Bedford Rascal) but then people started thinking they’d like to keep their legs in the event of an accident
My array of cactii and succulents continue to look great, despite us being on year 2 of a drought. I have a painstaking reigeme of upkeep which is mostly looking at them and saying to myself “yep, that’s a plant alright”.
So, all in all I’m happy with my garden.
Skating used to be whole life, my right leg has been held together by a metal rod for the last 7 years now.
Like you, it was caused by an avoidable miskate that was my own fault. I can still get on skates (though that took about 3 years) and I’m limited to doing that for about half an hour and can’t move fluidly.
For me the solution wasn’t to do everything I could to continue doing the thing I loved, but rather to let it go. These days I ride (small, quiet) motorbikes, walk my dogs, and have recently taken up archery.
Had I not broken my leg there’s a diversity of experiences I’d have missed out on, because I was enraptured with The Thing. There’s more to the world than one single hobby!
If you have close friends and family, do try and talk through how you’re feeling with them, and think about seeing a therapist - these sorts of limitations are hard to adapt to for everyone!
I wish you good luck in whatever sort of adventures you have next :-)
That’s a shame, though being in the EU I wonder how much they’re legally allowed to keep.
I guess I should make better use of my Proton mail account
Laugh all you like, I’ve had the same AOL email address since 1997 and haven’t had problems with leaked information or spam. It doesn’t cost me anything, so I’m just going to carry on using it.
I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don’t know of any other Moes.
