Not all global manufacturers do that yet, and not for all models. It's not a victory yet, we need to pressure them for it to mecome a norm and to be honored without playing any tricks on us.
Also, we were so conditioned for obsolescence, that the idea of a phone lasting more than 7 years looks like absurd for a lot of people, but in reality, it's very plausible, just like a laptop can last like 15 years, or even more. We can do even better!
That's a fair point. It might not be the device I carry 24/7, but it sure would be nice to use as a display panel in my house.
I should look for alternative software that will let me just display a webpage.
It feels like we're losing ground. Why does 8GB of RAM feel totally insufficient to browse the same websites I used 12 years ago with 4? I'm so happy I maxed out my motherboard's RAM (32) when I built a PC in 2021.
The ram shortage will force optimization on sites and software, right? Right?
