      I can hardly find a company that supports their product and their backward compatibility longer than ms. Just recently read that wordpad had an alias “writer” (or similar) because this was its name before decades ago and there could be apps/scripts relying using this nsme.

        There’s still some way of accessing a network settings menu unchanged from Windows 3, I remember Tom Scott did it

    Well… this is not cool. On the other hand, it was clearly an experimental product. Do not think people purchased it expected a mainstream like support.

    According to the article, it launched with android 10. So, just android 11 and android 12L. Giving an android 13 update was the least they could’ve done, considering android 14 is around the corner. Oh, well. Do not buy products from companies that do not guarantee to provide one.

        Exactly! We need companies like fairphone, which not only provide long software support but also years of warranty where the device can actually last.

      I loved my windows phone 7, it was the best phone OS I’ve ever had.

      I liked the UI, I liked the consistency and simplicity of the apps. I had Xbox music before Spotify really took off. The only problem was the trident based browser and Google specifically blocking all their apps and maps from it.

      Then Microsoft just dropped support for it… I held out on 7.5 for as long as I could, and then my charge port failed and I upgraded to the HTC One, which was also pretty good.
