lol the original ipad air came out in 2013

so that's still about 5 years of full os update and there's even security update for it that came out just a few weeks ago


but yeah it has the same chip as the 5s which is pretty garbage for bloated apps and webpage nowadays

i am pretty sure it'd run just fine for most peoples purposes. rather imagine a s6 *getting* android 12.

and to be clear this is as much qualcomms idiot scam as it is googles.

a good way to find out would be to dig through xda and see if there are roms of latest android versions still being developed for these old phones. back in galaxy spica times i janitored it to at least three versions past official support.

i have very little to do at work and its the first result when i press the letter f in the omnibox

in all seriousness it truly offers nothing of value. its just the same ten or so people circlejerking none of whom post anything interesting that i dont see elsewhere first. the only thing its good for is a place where i can get a quick answer if something is universal or unique to me (useful with googles server side switches on things) and maybe occasionally i can help someone with a problem that i know something about. and i guess its useful as a survey of whether a particular model breaks easily but thats less the case as fewer individuals post there

i guess if theres anything i look forward to its stuff like the "hot singles in my area want to sext" linked above and people who dont want google to track them but wont use crapple!!!! products either so they break everything on the phone and ask why it doesnt work

no, because unlike Android, iOS isn’t programmed in Java and is optimized for things like memory usage. The 6s has 2G of Ram and NVME. It’s perfectly fine for iOS 15.

Wrong bitch, i think it was ios 11 that made even the built in apps run as stuttery as android.

And yes I even wiped it.

i have an air 1 and it is slow, but apps are fine if they're lean. web pages are just worse, as they always are

the big problem is apps are slowly dropping ios 12, which isn't shocking just annoying

Well I've narrowed it down to who it was who attempted to blackmail me and texted my dad pictures of my dong.

It's been three days now, and I've tried to sweep this dumb poo poo aside, but it's not going away easily with time.
He works about three miles from where I live and is a doctor, who likely earns gently caress ton of money.
He is in a position of power.
This guy has a home, a wife, ect.
At this point I don't give a gently caress about a picture of my dick on the internet. I want to confront him personally and make public to his coworkers that he is a doctor who catfishes and blackmails people in his local area at 4am in the morning, and has likely done this on a reoccurring basis for quite sometime.

I am getting lot of youtube adverts for pixel phones that use an obvious google text to speech voice and it is so cringe

like it would be funny if someone was lip syncing microsoft mary but using it in earnest as a replacement for a real human is distracting at the least and cringe at the worst.
