he's now proclaiming the merits of the $1200 chromebook he has yet to actually get

this would be on top of his surface pro, galaxy tab 3, several phones, presumed gaming-spec desktop, and of course multiple oled tvs, all purchased within the last year or two

he recently straight up said he doesn't have much of a life and spends most of his non-working time at home, so i guess having a dozen screens around at all times makes up for not having friends

Panel refresh rate has little to do with your typical Android device's scroll jankiness. The system can't get the frames to the panel fast enough no matter how fast the panel is capable of refreshing. This is because it's a large and difficult software engineering problem which most OEM's do not have the resources (or the cares) to address.

he's right though

that jankiness has been part and parcel for anroid since the beginning and sure people complain but they've been stockholm syndrome'd and keep buying phones regardless so why should the oems give a gently caress enough to fix it.

it says something that even microsoft in all their comical self-sabotaging attempts to make a phone os got scrolling right. hell even the touch-focused parts of win8 and 10 are pretty responsive even on some truly abominable hardware

doesnt anroid re-render every layer of the UI every frame? like even if the background is covered up by a button or folder on the home screen, it still gets rendered, then the overlay happens

idk but i do know their solution to it, project butter, was to peg the cpu to 100% every time there was a touch event

this still didn't fix it
