Yeah, I won’t trust Google on that unless they actually deliver. Too many canned projects by that company.

The iPhone 6S got iOS 9 to iOS 15, so 7 years of mainline software support and as of now it’s still getting security updates - 9 years later (latest version as of now is 15.8.3 released end of July this year). The iPhone XS entered year 7 of mainline software support with iOS 18.

Sure, some phones only got 6 years of mainline software support, namely the iPhone 7 or iPhone X. They’re all still receiving security updates though.

Google just now promised to more or less match that starting with the Pixel 8 series, but they didn’t retroactively apply that policy to their previous devices. The Pixel 8 now has just shy of 6 years of mainline software support to go to fulfill Google’s promise and we’ll see how long they’ll release security updates after that.

Thanks for letting me know, I just updated to v5 yesterday.

“Personally, I think there is too much swearing. I don’t want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of language.”

Then don’t let your 5-year old child watch the fucking press conference.

Yes, he did.

Technically the Pro Max already starts at 256 GB (starting with the 15 series iirc). But they simply removed the 128 GB option from the price stack.

I used to use the Magic Mouse gen 1 and opening the battery compartment was as easy as pressing down on a plastic “lever”. I never harmed my fingernails in any way in the process.

Other than that, there are clearly many better mice. Having to lift the finger from the left mouse button for it to register a right click is stupid.

Missing built-in FDE is one of my main gripes with SteamOS. It’s why I don’t really do anything besides gaming on the Deck. It’s a portable device that could easily be stolen or lost, so this seems like a major oversight.

If the apps wouldn’t be slow React Native or whatever “multiplatform framework” crapware, then I’d actually say that well designed, native Swift UI (iOS) or Material (Android) apps can enhance the user experience for a lot of services that are otherwise offered via website. Native integrations with shortcuts, widgets, fully supporting accessibility features of the OS etc.

The problem is most apps are just low-effort web app conversions.

AI assisted Notepad is a thing?
