Are there any services that imply the opposite? Isn’t everything supported forever until it isn’t?

I interpret it as "we won't kill our stuff if people are using it" which is a common enough practice we have webpages dedicated to the Google Graveyard and whatnot.

I don't think anyone has or is going to build a product and advertise "We plan to stop letting you use it (even if you want to pay for it!) whenever we feel like it." This pledge existing (which, I agree, is a 'trust me bro') tells me that there is a thought-out effort for the support window.

While poking around to see if HEY email is right for me, I noticed this at the very bottom of the FAQ page about expected support for HEY. I think it's a pretty noble goal to support your products until every other customer has left or until the internet is over, whichever comes first; I wish more services were like this.

> This is a practical setup.

What if you need to check emails or take care of some other task mid-game?

This is what stops me from dual-booting. I don't enjoy Windows as much as the next person, but dual booting inevitably requires me to just duplicate logging into services and installing the same programs in both OSes, and then if I don't boot into one of the OSes for a while, I end up having to wait for updates (admittedly this is a much worse problem on Windows, but it's not not a problem for Linux) and any other things that need to happen just so I can use the computer.

Which apps are those?
AndroidKitKat · a month ago
For me, there's a small handful of games that keep me from using Linux on my main PC - RuneScape and League of Legends. RuneScape has some nasty bugs where the GPU isn't detected when running under Wayland, but if you run the game via Proton-thru-Steam you don't have access to all your accounts (I occasionally play on two). League of Legends just straight up doesn't work at all after they added their rootkit-as-anticheat, but it's the only way I keep in touch with some friends.
AndroidKitKat commented on ICEBlock, an app for anonymously reporting ICE sightings, goes viral   techcrunch.com/2025/07/01... · Posted by u/exiguus

Interesting that Apple even allows ICEBlock on the App Store given that 13 years ago they blocked the publication of an app that notified users of American drone strikes abroad as "objectionable" content: https://www.aclu.org/news/national-security/apple-drone-stri...

Apple also removed a similar app in Hong Kong during protests because the Chinese Government asked them to: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/10/apple-removes-police-trackin...

> “The app displays police locations and we have verified with the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau that the app has been used to target and ambush police, threaten public safety, and criminals have used it to victimize residents in areas where they know there is no law enforcement,” the statement said.

Is there any downside to buying a used Tesla directly from Tesla? They sort of have a refurbished apple store vibe and give you an extra 1yr warranty on top of the existing warranty.

I bought a used Model 3 w/ FSD from Tesla and didn't regret it one bit. The car was not perfect (paint chips, windshield nicks, etc. normal car wear), but that comes with used car territory. I just went with Tesla directly since I've read that used car lots don't always do the best job accurately describing the software capabilities of the car (Intel or Ryzen / HW3 or HW4 / FSD outright or FSD subscription or not). If you're just interested in the car and not any of the software, then I'd go with whatever can get you a good price.

I ended up selling the Model 3 last November and getting a new Model Y when they had a 0% APR + FSD transfer promotion running. If you're interested in FSD try to find a newer Model Y (mid 2023ish) or any refresh Model 3 for HW4.

The issue is this reaction never sticks. Everyone's up in arms, but would you really want to go back to Android KitKat or iOS 2? Probably not for more than novelty, right?
AndroidKitKat · 2 months ago
If it was usable with the apps I need today, I would switch back to Android 4.4.2 or iOS 6.1.3 in a heartbeat. Not sure how long I would stay before the rose tint in my glasses returns to normal, but I would certainly love to try.

Same here... 1440p 32" is optimal for me, the only improvement I'd consider right now is 1600p equivalent.
AndroidKitKat · 4 months ago
Biggest draw for me with 1440p 32" is being the same DPI as a 1080p 24". I like to have one big monitor and then 2 small flank vertical monitors and having them all be the same DPI just makes headaches go away on every operating system I use them with.

Wait, you can donate for Thunderbird specifically?
AndroidKitKat · 4 months ago
You can! Thunderbird lives in a separate entity outside the main Mozillasphere called MZLA. I've given a few times in the past and use it for personal use, but my workplace recently banned Thunderbird.
