You are correct, they only guarantee 3 years, I'd confused it w/ the 5X on the updates page.
TBH I've never had a Google phone last longer than their patch cycle, but I guess that's just the price of (relatively) cheap phones. I've spent the equivalent of 1 iPhone for my last 4 android phones which lasted me a lot longer than 1 iPhone would, particularly since 2 of the androids died due to dropping...
Why would I care? If you buy a Apple phone you get updates, if you buy a Google phone you get updates, otherwise you need to be talking to whoever makes your phone. If your smart TV running embedded Linux doesn't get updates, are you moaning at Linus?
Yep. That's because it's a Google phone. Easy to make updates when you own the OS. The vast majority of Android phones aren't Nexus phones. It's kind of like suggesting all vehicles get 40 mpg because your 10 year old Honda Civic gets 40 mpg.
And Apple phones aren't a closed ecosystem where they control the OS and the hardware? What's your point?
This is a list of all my favourite things about EQ, including the part where kids that couldn't handle the higher level content never got past LOIO or level 20...
I knew of a similar situation where the Filemaker database was accessed via Terminal Services from remote site offices.
Unfortunately, the site offices were real estate agents, who wanted to print high quality colour brochures from the remote server. Printouts that were 80-90 pages and being pushed over a 1Mbit connection @ 15 minutes/page.
We suggested that they could print locally to a 10Mb PDF, move that to a local machine, and print it in a few minutes.
Yeah, that's exactly the same tired, pointless argument I referred to. NO ONE CARES that you think they shouldn't exist, or that minimum wage is "supposed" to be a starter job, they will do whatever it takes to survive regardless of your politics.
Do you honestly think the rich keep welfare systems going out of the goodness of their heart, or because it's cheaper than rolling around in APCs between fortified encampments a'la South Africa?
Where as in the US you pretend you can have a minimum wage below the poverty line then spend lots of tax dollars propping those people up with food stamps, etc, or just paying indirectly with theft and other criminal behaviour.
Regardless of the stupid FOX talking point crap in this thread, people aren't just going to die because you think they should try harder.
While I'll completely agree with you 99 times out of 100, 1 time the boss will have had a fight with their spouse/child/lover and you will cop unnecessarily harsh but legal treatment despite all history to the contrary.
It doesn't have to go against your morals to protect yourself and your family first, and look after everyone where possible.
OTOH I don't have a Chinese backdoor on my phone and saved $1000 on a phone that has more RAM than an iPhone X, and can take an SD card or dual SIM....
There's no general news value in this, scientific possibly, but this is not news and that 'reporter' from the Verge has probably done stupid things for a lot longer than 6 seconds in her time.

Is that it? Really? That's even more pathetic that I thought it would be.

Fair dues, there are no bad reasons for quitting an MMO, and I get quietly annoyed at anyone that attempts to get a "friend" to play one now ;)
That's an entertaining story, but they're still producing updates for the 4 year old Nexus 5, if you can find one that doesn't boot loop.
There's a string of manufacturers that abandon their products, looking at you Samsung, but that's not Google's problem.
Just as soon as you find an off-brand Apple phone, we can make some kind of "support life-cycle" comparison.
Yet my Nokia 8 has had 8.0 since December, 8.1 late January; HMD > Essential?

What do you mean you can't find 40 people to raid Molten Core at level 60?
English words can mean more than one thing; I can post (mail) a post (stick) to a post (location).
Perhaps you should switch to Spanish.

Nice, thanks :)
And this is why people who understand PKI make the big bucks...
I put everything into zombo.com, I really wish they'd update to HTML5 though.

tl;dr, Bitcoin is only useful for money laundering? Oh and fleecing rubes.

WTF is that even about? Trying to avoid Facebook's monetization strategy by creating a 'new' post instead of a share they can track and throttle?
Also; Chrome says demonetization is a word, but suggests monetization is a spelling error. Seems about right.

Oh yeah, I forgot how they really go;
Mod up this if you love puppies, Mod down if you hate puppies, ignore this if you hate yourself.
93% of people will ignore this post.
Down-vote this comment if you hate puppies and children!
OK so you've demonstrated you have no argument, I'll stop right there.
