#obsolescent

Schematic: "2022 - We've updated the circuit design to use widely-available part AB1234DL rather than the impossible-to-find one the original design used!"

Website 2025: "AB1234DL: obsolete, not available to order"

Sigh.

My old #Samsung Galaxy S7 doesn't have the thread/yarn #emoji - I can't continue my existing threads ... well, AND prefix my posts with the proper icon - manage expectations.

It's a perfectly performing smart phone - even the battery is in great shape, still (80% club! 🤓👍) - all it lacks, is current software / updates / support. 😡

Plenty of bells and whistles - NFC, international GNSS, Wi-Fi 5/ac, great camera, and then some.

But it's old, and #obsolescent, alas.
