I have nearly 100 gig of data on my phone, no way in hell am I going to do a cloud backup. I just do a backup to my computer, and I have a password on that so it is encrypted on the computer, and it stores the passwords and such on my phone. If the phone is stolen, or drops into a lake or some other disaster, I just plug a new phone into my computer and restore the last backup.

Lack of upgradeability to the latest OS is not bricked. Generally you get 6-8 compatible major releases and hardware is not end of lifed until it's 10 years or older. Curious which model you had that you were only able to upgrade for a few years. Was it like super NOS or a refurb when you bought it?

Many people including myself lost significant data and programs when Microsoft forced Win10 onto the public and did not disclose the ramifications of switching over to the 64-bit system beforehand. There oughta be a law! I know a lot of programs just stopped working even in "compatibility mode", which was not very functional nor designed correctly for the most part.

Don't know. Here's pic after it spilled its guts later in storage after the OS went dead.

Win 10 will be phased out in 2025 I think.

[QUOTE=masraum;11482696
I believe the current version of IOS is 64-bit. I believe older versions were 32-bit (which is why you sometimes lose access to some apps after an upgrade). When exactly that change was made, I'm not sure (ie, IOS 12 --> 13 or ...).[/QUOTE] Tiger, 2005, was the first to support 32/64 apps. 32 bit support ended in 2019 with Catalina. Apple have always been very good about maintaining compatibility for as long as possible even across major disruptions like the move from PPC to Intel and now ARM.

Win 11 requires TPM 2.0 - Trusted Platform Module. None of the hardware I own has TPM 2.0, it's all 1.2. But then again, I'm a cheap bastard and I haven't bought a new laptop in years. The one I'm typing this on is still Win 7, and really should be replaced. The motherboard is cracked and if you hold it wrong it flakes out or just shuts down. The one I take when we go out of town is newer, in fact I just updated it to Win 10 21H1 today. But it won't run Win 11 without some workarounds. |
