i miss backwards compatibility so much.

a larger-than-you'd-expect part of my life is spent discovering that i can't access a website/product/feature/what have you because 1 it requires a smartphone app, 2 there won't always be an older version of the app you can download, and 3 my phone is old and can't be updated and can't get the newer OS

#honourable mention to the time i tried to use collctv #or however you spell it #and found it i could NOT get money out of it #after it had already been sent to me!!!#bc you can't do that on desktop #and my phone was too old for the app #had to ask a friend to get the money on their phone for me #currently trying to run android emulators on my desktop #bc i regularly need to access a thing for which desktop support has been axed #and i can't get the latest app on my phone #and my LAPTOP is apparently too old for some of the android emulators???#it's not a ram issue bluestacks just won't run on macs before 2014 #and look yes my laptop is 10 years old #but aside from low RAM (which is rarely a problem for me) it works perfectly #i have no need to replace it!#i should be able to access things i have used in the past or need or have in some cases paid for #without the newest fucking smartphone #sometimes i miss the windows xp days #when you could get xp versions of everything for years #tech #who needs a journal when you have tumblr #text post
