![]() I have trouble believing that software vendors are sabotaging their performance on purpose. A lot of things can lead to less “efficient” software, including better security measures, graphical effects, support for more advanced software and hardware that simply requires greater complexity. Modern operating systems are built to take advantage of modern hardware in my opinion, there is nothing immoral about software being less efficient. It runs like shit even on the stock ROM anymore. I believe some Nexus 7 ROMs have been made with newer Android releases, but it is indeed pointless. But that is a different story, and arguably is a lot more than just an issue for the computer industry. Removing features just to bring them back sometimes is a truly pointless and stupid rigmarole when we could surely just wait 3 more years so that improvements can be made that aren’t pointless tradeoffs. ![]() Just like you now see people running around with 7 year old laptops today.Ī real issue is probably just that Apple and Google and other flagship phone vendors continue to pump out a new phone every year even though it is clearly wasteful and pointless. Even if vendors were forced to support devices for longer, I super sincerely doubt we’d see people running around with 7 year old phones. ![]() I’m not suggesting that this is a good thing, but it’s not a conspiracy. The 2012 Nexus 7 is never going to be useful even with postmarketOS, because it simply runs poorly with any reasonably modern software stack, not just more modern Android. You can argue (validly!) that some of it was obsoleted quicker than necessary due to poor support or bloated software, but let’s face it by and large, old phones and tablets are the victims of progress. We witnessed the birth of a new computer market, and like the 90s era of computing, it generated landfills worth of eWaste. Why? Because in 2012, phones and tablets were basically insecure little toys compared to what they are today. Of course, my 2012 Nexus 7 is more obsolete than an iBook G4 by this point. No, not supporting 7 year old software is not the same as not supporting 7 year old hardware. This allows users to send mail using our domains from anywhere, for legacy reasons."įrom the final section on. "Fastmail domains have a DMARC policy of none, which means recipient mail servers should report whether the message passes or not, but not change deliverability. Poor data laws and member of the Five Eyes network will probably force me, finally, to switch to a new service (probably Proton mail) at the end of the next yearly renewal :(Įdit: just remembered there's been a couple of incidents with poor security practices, in the past, with fastmail (easy to google) that doesn't look flattering.Īnd I think (?) there's been some issues with spoofed email going around/originated within fastmail's internal network: No issues whatssoever.īut yeah, Australia is not. Been a happy Fastmail customer for years now and it's been smooth sailing the whole time (using custom domains and everything).
