Exactly!
I am in the same boat right now. I still use a Pixel 4a. It’s a great device, has exactly the size and performance I need, perfect condition but I don’t get updates anymore. It’s insane that in a time where resources get a real problem this is still allowed. If they can’t support it at least force them to open source the software/drivers or something.
Yeah my exact thoughts. Repairable phones are mostly useless if the vendor blobs don’t get updated anymore after x years. Until we have an open ecosystem, as we have on desktop PCs, repairable phones are only good on paper.
Same here and I don’t even use the search that much. Love it
Pixel 4a gang checking in. We should create a club!
They get most of their money from google for the “default search engine deal” make of that what you want. For me personally it doesn’t sound fully independent.
I am in session 7 of my rewatch, so this was the first connection I made a well. 🙂
Does anybody know for how many years this device gets system / security updates?
Sadly there are no options. I don’t really need a new phone, the hardware is still fine for me but not getting any updates sucks. At some point I might have to bite the bullet and get the 8a or something.

In my personal opinion, such unrealistic ethical requirements end up being a reactionary choice as they will ultimately impede new - better - players to emerge and will leave the existing - worse - dominating.
That’s an excellent point. Never thought about it that way.
I have the same as a secondary device. It’s getting slow tho. :)
That’s exactly what we need. Religious nutjobs meddling in the potentially dark AI future.
Not sure why you get immediately so confrontational. Of course I know those things exist and can be a problem but it wasn’t at all clear to me that you were talking about those things. That’s why I asked for clarification.
I get it, some people try to trigger other by asking obvious questions but don’t assume the worst in all of us.
Honestly, I have no idea what you are referring to either. Would you mind sending me a message if you don’t want to go into detail in public?
There is absolutely no way 25% is realistic in this scenario, it’s most likely, as you said, a certain characteristic/feature is interpreted/skipped/handled differently by WINE.

Browser extension with support for a lot of different frontends.
Your xargs comment is still wrong tho. It deletes ALL but the most recent two files.
Same, works like a charm!
Thanks Satan
