Oh fuck off, Samsung. It's because y'all have a terrible fab. Stfu and look into either disassembling it, or reworking it from the ground up.
For a change, I'd like to see them use TSMC for Exynos and see if their chip designs are terrible or it's just solely Samsung's fault.
There's gotta be a better way to deal with this... Maybe offer a way to backup data and then flash this update to get the best experience?
It's almost like Android tablets could have been more common, but Google's insistence on ignoring them for half a decade and denying them any recognition led to a long era of only iPads and Galaxy Tabs.
TL;DR
Instead of pressing the + button to open a new note, it now expands a list that includes types of notes, which you then have to press.
(I can't upload images here...)
Only took them a decade to realise that half the features they offer would be used more if they talked about them more often. Fucking dumbasses at Google, I swear.
If they showed Android Beam this much love, or advertised and asked for developer support of Honeycomb, we'd have people saying "beam it to me" instead of having to say "Quick Share it to me" like a fucking idiot.
Same for Lockscreen widgets, same for tablet support, same for literally every single thing they did to Android.
Dude's a solid journalist. His teardowns are insane.
TL;DR of the TL;DR
They removed bloatware.
Why didn't they do the same for the older model tho?
Samsung's Fab is astonishingly bad at making chips. A Tensor is just an Exynos cosplaying as a Google chip.
Oh dude I love it! I recently donated to Thunderbird. My first Open Source donation (apart from Wikipedia). Feels good. I generally contribute through testing, but once I start earning a good amount, I'm gonna do what you did...
Exactly where I saw this too lol. Idk what the issue with the link is.
It's gotta be Qi2. But it's a well-known standard so why would they not mention it?
If you're just gonna make them install an app, it's best they just use LocalSend. It's simple, fast and hassle-free.
100+ countries getting inaccurate information. Woohoo!
Thank you. For once, I'm happy they made a good change.
Magnetic power bank? But no mention of Qi2 support. So no magsafe implementation then.
I use a Poco F4. F5 or F6 should be good enough too! Most Xiaomi devices have massive custom ROM support. Plus openly available firmware updates.
When your entire motivation is to replicate something that you didn't have confidence in the first time, you get Google's Android.
No way! I wonder what changed their minds?! 🙄
What does this mean for other chromium browsers like Vivaldi? I like Vivaldi.
DUDE I SWEAR! We already had a "Without Internet" Nearby Share. WHY DO I NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET?! WHY GOOGLE?!
I use Anilist to track my anime and manga. But haven't found anything that provides a similar experience in regular movie and TV show tracking, or even books.
For games, there's a service called Backloggd that uses the IGDb database. For movies, I have used Letterboxd but the Android app is garbage at best.
Haven't seen any on here yet... Would love it if someone could do this...
Based on personal experience.
Used Lunacy via the MS Store. It started getting sluggish so I asked the devs what to do and they recommended I use the website to procure the application...
I see the upside to winget now.
I recently found out that Android's kernel is VERY different from any Apple implementation. Never really crossed my mind that there are different types of kernels.
This made me wonder - if the microkernel is so much better, at the cost of being complicated to develop an OS for, would Android be better on microkernel?
Please enlighten me. I'm only trying to learn more.
Also, do interact, Lemmy needs good conversation.
Thank God humans aren't being replaced with these Generative AI models.
Oh wait... THEY ARE!
I was updating my Samsung Magician software when this prompt came up... Is this for data collection? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes... i DO in fact live in a GDPR country.
It's a big question. I know.
But given that we have the source code to Android (AOSP) and the community to collaborate with, couldn't we just create an entire ROM filled with the necessary applications and utilities, all open source, and with modern UI?
It'll take a shit load of time, and effort. Definitely. But maybe if we banded together? A unified OS running only open source software, with the option for Google Services via something like MicroG, so that we don't need to worry.
I'm no expert. I'm just floating an idea. But I'd love to know if this is possible, step-by-step...
Edit: I know custom ROMs are a thing. I use one. I'm just saying, what if we go ahead and make an open source ecosystem that runs under the same project, so that there's a set of services and apps that are free, open source and non-corporate.
Edit2: I forgot the Lineage project exists. Nevermind 🤦🏻♂️. Let's just try to support it. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hardly a new opinion, but goddammit...
2 years into Windows 11's launch, and we still are yet to see many features that Microsoft promised. Why? Why Microsoft?
What happened to testing shit before releasing it?! What happened to making a good release worthy Product that could potentially get improvements over time?
WHY DID YOU ABANDON WINDOWS 10 WITH LITTLE TO NO EXPLANATION?!
I still cannot uninstall apps without being diverted to the fucking Control Panel. Seriously Microsoft?! You ALREADY have the "Add or Remove Programs" page, AND SOMEHOW YOU CAN'T LINK THAT UP?!
Oh! oh! Get this! You couldn't uninstall more than one app on the Control Panel because devices couldn't handle it back then. And you STILL CAN'T DO THAT!
And while we're on the subject of disappointment, WHY IS MICROSOFT EXCEL the most powerful piece of shit?!
It can do mind-blowing tasks in seconds, but god forbid you want to undo an action in another Workbook after doing an action in the current Workbook. Because the Action history for all workbooks open at the same time IS THE SAME.
SO IF I DELETED SOMETHING IN BOOK1 AND DID 5 DIFFERENT THINGS IN BOOK2, I CANNOT UNDO THE DELETION IN BOOK1 WITHOUT UNDOING ALL THE 5 THINGS I DID IN BOOK 2!
why??
BECAUSE FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY!
You also cannot SHIFT+SCROLL to scroll horizontally, on a program that famously has more horizontal real estate than vertical. (Even OneNote has this fucking dumb issue. HOW DO YOU LAUNCH AN INFINITE CANVAS NOTE TAKING APP WITHOUT HORIZONTAL SCROLLING?! HUH?!). And this is present everywhere else in Windows. EVERYWHERE ELSE. Except where you'd need it the most.
Plus, if you have one window active, and scroll on another, the inactive window will scroll. This is the default behaviour of Windows. YET ON MICROSOFT EXCEL, YOU CAN ONLY SCROLL THE ACTIVE WINDOW. Whether or not you are actually SCROLLING OVER THE WINDOW is just not important.
Why Microsoft?! Why?!
EDIT: THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. APPARENTLY, ALL IT TOOK WAS FOR ME TO RELOGIN TO THE INSTANCES. SED LYF INDEED.
I'm logged into 3 instances, the fossware instance, the lemdroid instance and lemmy.world. But anytime I try to vote or comment on a lemmy.world post, it shows me the "Not Logged In" toast notification.
And for lemdroid, it just does nothing...
Any solution?

I was using Infinity for Reddit (I'm sorry, I know...), and noticed the transparent Navigation Bar... Is this something that is an app-side thing or system-side thing?
