A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There’s profit motive in having terrible forward compatibility.

Oh your phone can’t get new the version? Better buy a new one.

Even now, if it wasn’t for non-user replaceable batteries, I’m sure loads of people wouldn’t bother to upgrade devices for years and years. My dad is still running an iPhone X, sees no reason to upgrade and it’s just losing latest OS support now. Not that that would bother him 😅
