Microsoft is done supporting the original Surface Duo, three years after it first launched on September 10. The company has stated from the very start that the Surface Duo would receive just three years of OS updates, meaning today is the last day that Microsoft has to stay true to its word.
Going forward, Microsoft will no longer ship new OS updates or security patches for the original Surface Duo, meaning Android 12L is the last version of the OS it will ever officially receive. Surface Duo only ever got two major OS updates, one shy of the average three that most high-end flagship Android devices get these days.
Like I said before, I will never stop making fun of the Juicero of Android phones.
I actually like Microsoft’s Android apps, like, a lot. Pretty much nothing to complain about across their entire line.
It’s their hardware design I have a problem with.
Does outlook still steal your emails even if you don’t use it with a Microsoft account?
Define steal in this context. What does this mean?
The Outlook app used to (still does? Haven’ checked) ask you for your credentials and then download your mail… onto Microsoft’s servers. Unless your mail was already on Microsoft’s servers, of course.
From what I remember, there was no e2ee security on email either. They just kept a copy of your mail and then provided an alternative API for their app.
Makes me wonder how many people have uninstalled the app without logging out, and how long Microsoft will keep downloading your mail if the app hasn’t been used for a while…
I actually have no idea.
This article from 2021 suggests they still did two years ago, and I can’t find any indication that they stopped.
