  • I understand you may be from a field where supporting software from the 70s is required, however someone is probably paying big bucks for that software as well. Replacing the software you work on might cost millions, replacing a thermostat costs 300 usd.

    I would love to live in a world where software support lasts 70 years. But consumers don’t look at software support, so it’s not budgeted in the price, and thus doesn’t happen in the consumer space. Getting 16 years in a consumer device is long.

    In the field you’re working, stability, longevity, and robustenes is probably a requirement, not a nice to have.






  • I don’t think it will ever come to a lawsuit, nobody would ever want that. Under the GDPR you must be able to delete content, and the server must communicate this to all federated servers. So in effect, there is already a legally binding agreement between all servers that this deletion request must be honored (for people physically in the eu), it’s just not.

    lemmy servers are already breaking the GDPR if they don’t follow forwarded deletion requests from people in the eu. This would just effectively be an extension of this to data from all people.



  • You can use wireless ADB, or try to set the battery limit to 80% and only set charging to only start below 30%. Wireless ADB settings can be found in the developer options. battery options don’t always include the option to require battery level to drop below X% before charging starts again, and if it is, it is usually branded as battery saver feature or smth like that.
