Only if the monkey can tap dance

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.

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

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

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 :-)

Ah, it’s the phones, I thought it was 12 year olds and was a commentary on the GOP or something

My Garmin Montana GPS uses 3 AA batteries and it’s really handy if you’re in an area without mains electricity since carrying a an extra set (or even buying alcalines in a pinch) will get you going again!

No worries, it makes sense now!

What does this have to do with Spain?
