No. Android was just a JavaScript demo. The OS was developed at Google.

Alright, time to fork this bitch.

The fascist pro assassination democrat party, of course.

How exactly did you think Ukraine was going to pay back the hundreds of billions they borrowed from the US? Print more hryvnia?
kernal··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
How can you have WW3 when your opponent has the military power equivalent of a butter knife? Instead of wishing for a WW3, I suggest you look at all of the people celebrating in the streets of Iran and even the US.
kernal··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
Did you even see the press conference? There is now an additional 10% tariff. Like I said before, your short term victory was quickly extinguished with additional tariffs. The Supreme Court just ruled that this specific tariff tactic could not be used. So an alternative tariff plan quickly replaced it.
kernal··on Arm wants a bigger slice of the chip business
Yes, ARM did lose the case, but I attribute that to an ignorant judge as the license wasn’t transferable to Qualcomm from Nuvia. Regardless, ARM will have their day when it comes time to license the next ARM architecture version.
kernal··on Arm wants a bigger slice of the chip business
If ARM wanted a bigger cut then they should have been fabricating their designs years ago instead of licensing their IP. They would have owned the Android SoC market.
kernal··on Google Fulfilled ICE Subpoena Demanding Student Journalist Credit Card Number
What about the consequences for the people that let in millions of illegal aliens with criminal records that harmed and killed Americans? Should those politicians be charged as accessories?
kernal··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
It’s not Android. The Camera 2 API is more than capable of building device independent apps. It’s the developer not using the API for whatever reason.
kernal··on FAA institutes nationwide drone no-fly zones around ICE operations
No, blue state sanctuary cities do not turn over illegal alien criminals to ICE. They release them back into the community even though they have a ICE notice on them. ICE is then forced to track down these criminals themselves while being tracked and harassed by crazy far left agitators that do everything in their power to protect these criminals.
kernal··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
The Android audio latency issues were solved long ago with Pro Audio. Whether Android audio apps chose to use it is on them and the significance of latency on their audio app.
kernal··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
The iOS and Android app teams at Google don’t coordinate their releases. They ship it when it’s ready for publication. Why inconvenience the other base just because the other team has other priorities and schedules. That said, Google apps have always been superior on Android than iOS. Just look at Keep.

On the topic of looser app reviews on the Play store vs the App store. I can give you a long list of fake iOS apps where you enter a 4 digit code to watch free movies. People who think Apple is manually reviewing apps are delusional.
kernal··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
Android gets a bad rap because of security and Apple has exploited this in their marketing campaigns to the max. So the moment Google does something to address this glaring hole in their security model the 1% vocal minority throws a fit. You’ll still be able to side load, but because it has extra friction they’ll threaten to switch to iOS. To which I say - go for it. Google doesn’t care about people who side load apps like an automatic reloading the chamber. You’re an insignificant percentage of their base.

Personally, I would rather see Android only run signed and sanctioned apps to prevent the technologically illiterate from getting pwned. If you want to be able to side load then sign up to be a developer and go to town on your device.

Very impressive. Thanks for your contribution.
kernal··on Apple picks Gemini to power Siri
>Apple has the best edge inference silicon in the world (neural engine),

Can you cite this claim? The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU seems to be superior in the benchmarks I've seen.

kernal··on Why is the Gmail app 700 MB?
The Apple vs Google app size comparison is so disingenuous. It doesn't take into account all of the preinstalled iOS dependency libraries used by these Apple apps.

No, because it allows us to evaluate the type of person you are. For example, I can tell you're a member of Bluesky.

Pixel 8 updates end in 2030. Or did you think the 7 years of updates didn't apply to it?

That's a sweet anecdote. Fortunately, their quarterly numbers say otherwise.

kernal··on Daily driving a Linux phone, but why?
There is no alternative. Unless you pay by cash and have verified that all of the utilities and services you consume are not laundering your data then you’re just wasting your time by putting up with a horrible phone OS experience.
kernal··on Daily driving a Linux phone, but why?
The lengths people go to for a horrible Ui/UX and app experience is bewildering. I guess they justify it by not caving into Google or Apple. Of course, all of their privacy concerns and safeguards go away when the credit cards, utilities and services they use all circumvent their precious Linux phone. But hey, at least you’re running Linux on your phone, right?
kernal··on Android phones will soon reboot themselves after sitting unused for three days
No, the feature first appeared on Samsung phones to fix their bloat / slowdown issues. Now it’s suddenly a security feature.
kernal··on Android phones will soon reboot themselves after sitting unused for three days
> GrapheneOS was ahead of the curve there

Not really. Samsung was the first with this, but their reasoning had absolutely nothing to do with security. It was because their phones slowed down over time and their solution was to give users the option to reboot it at specific intervals. You could even make the argument that the Samsung solution is still the superior solution because you get to set the interval.

kernal··on Android phones will soon reboot themselves after sitting unused for three days
Samsung phones have had this feature for years. But it’s not what you think. Samsung phones gave you the option to reboot at various intervals because their phones would slow down over time and their solution was to allow the user to schedule a reboot. Now it’s.a security feature.
