A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm more sad about the Palm Pre failing. A microsoft OS being good long term never has been in the cards, it's just a coincidence the platform died before enshittification..
I still have mine, it's a decent audiobook player for the kids, it even has a jack, a replaceable battery, induction charging and is so nimble. And did I mention the full keyboard? I hate that we followed Apple design ideals, for the sake of having today overpowered dumb, heavy , fragile and inconvenient consumption-only bricks.
