YES PLEASE

I live in Athens, and the oldest home still standing is about 500 years old (start of 16th century)

Bought it for my wife a few weeks ago. Super happy for what I got for the price

Thanks for the post. I will try to do it on Saturday

Nope, nothing

No idea, I have tried a ton of solution, the HP doesn’t ever work, the Brother works for a day and then stops…

Probably I’m the only Linux user that can’t connect to my office printer over the net I guess… But I can’t connect to our HP one either, so there’s that

This game was one of the very few I was waiting so badly to come out, and was so so disappointed with the launch. Still hasn’t convinced me to try it, although it has come a long way

What’s up, slappers

The battery life is the main reason I haven’t upgraded my OG Galaxy Watch

Of course you can find them! They are not deleted. You cannot upload a NEW app or an update to one not targeting API 31 or newer

Here is an extremely useful app for Athens’ transportation system with no other similar, and I can’t use it because “it is old”. Last app update in 2014 with a target of 5.1 iirc

If we go to Games, we can find hundreds of great older games that we lost access to for no reason. And as I said before but you skipped it, we now lose access to ALL of our bought apps and games that stopped updating for whatever reason…

This also means I cannot find any old app/game on play store. So even with adb (which I do not think is a good solution because it excludes 99,9% of the users, not only tech-savvy users want or need older apps) I can only install apps I know of and that I can find their apk on the internet. I cannot browse the play store for them. I cannot search for something I need, because I will never find them. And if it is a paid app/game? Well, tough luck, I have to go find a cracked apk in shady marketplaces… So much so for security.

If they really do this for security, it could have been a switch in the developer settings or anything like that. Not a hard ban on older apps

It’s not good. This affects only apps that have been abandoned for various reasons, such as dead developers, now defunct companies, developers that lost interest etc. There are tons of still very useful apps and of course tens of games that I already lost access to when I bought my S23, and now this means even more apps and games (and this list will only get larger with every new update)

There is no reason to artificially break new apps. Could you imagine if Windows 11 could run only software made in the last 5 years? It would be a nightmare. After all, no new apps can be uploaded to Play store if they don’t target a very recent version

The only game I refuse to install, is Football Manager. I only did this mistake once in my life

I have to get m; wife a new phone, and I’m between Poco X6 Pro and A54/A55… Waiting for the A55 reviews to help me decide

the Minimal Phone is based on a customized version of Android 13

3DS Emulation?

And 3D movies

IKEA Batteries are (were?) Panasonic Eneloop rebranded. They are considered among the best rechargeable batteries

DOA

Badum tits*

The very first game I remember was Alex Kidd on Master System II, my mother was always playing it!

The very first I played was probably NFS 3 on PC with my father. I remember playing it during the 1999 Athens earthquake aftershocks and getting scared
