Fond memories too and like other folks put me on my software dev career path and being a life long gamer.

My friend had the breadbox one and i had the slimmer profile model. We spent countless weekends coming back from computer store with boxes of blank floppy disks and using a box cutter to put a notch to make them double sided.

I switched to Orion on my iPhone about a month ago from a recommendation on HN.

I’m a happy user, no real issues encountered.

The biggest annoyance I had with Safari were sites that would autoplay videos with sound.

That looks like a good suggestion to try out, thank you.

The 4a debacle was enough motivation to make me change teams and buy an iPhone earlier in the year, I opted for the $50 no questions asked cash from Google.

The only real thing I’m missing on the iPhone is Firefox/ublock origin combo.

About 25 years ago I was trying to just stop a http server but instead issued ENDTCPSVR (ommitting which type of tcp server), everyone in my department lost their connection and the sysadmin walked over to my desk saying this is why devs should not have any admin access.

I did a walk of shame around each desk apologizing profusely.

I finally got the email from Google this week stating the change. Thanks for the extra info, still deciding what I will do.

Yeah super annoying, kinda seems our US friends might have been prioritised first for communication. Also another "busy work" job on my todo list that I'd rather not do.

What's your approach? Just go ahead and make the move away (or pay)?

Ask HN: G Suite Legacy yet to receive notification of change

Long term HN lurker and long time G Suite Legacy user. I still haven't received comms from Google on the deprecation of G Suite legacy.

Is anyone else in this same situation on waiting to here exact confirmation from Google?

I was in the UK at the time, around 2007/2008 when I signed up, not sure if this matters, though I did see some others users mention the same thing.
