expanding on this, like microsoft of the time they have a money printing machine that is funding a thousand disastrous entries into every field in tech. they aren’t committed to anything because they don’t need it to survive, so it is either substandard but lingers because of their name or falls apart and gets cancelled.

i think google is now promising a massive THREE years of os updates on pixels (from day of launch)

meanwhile if you bought an iphone 5s in 2013, your phone will have software updates until at least fall 2019

even slow, its better than a slow unsupported phone and some people have the patience to not notice the speed as long as apps keep working

yup. all my old phones are out of support cycles since i cycle the newer ones to family but at this rate everyone will be supported next upgrade and two 5s users dont care about anything newer

i think it's important to realize that in these trying times we can all agree that your operating system is a piece of poo poo

(my beloved ipad mini chose to push an update while i was dling a big fat app and had it plugged in which threw my keychain in the river, for example)

dunking on android because it lagged in feature X is like dunking on ios because it lagged in feature Y, or operating system 3 lagged in feature Z. it's a scrub tier observation that people with mediocre critical thinking skills think they are clever for seeing

Android dunks on itself constantly with newly stupid security flaws exposed, pre-hacked or poorly built products, and total gut-wrenching 180 degree design and functionality changes between releases of OS or services. I don’t have to be bothered to search for specifics.

One only has to listen to android nerds rattle on about specs and features , or view one of the many forums on the topic of telephone nerding to reaffirm.

all he said was that android has a system that allows the user to allow or disallow an app to place an icon in the notification area

i just dont see it but ill take your word for it

i mean in the original mention of notification channels he explicitly points out that some apps still dont support it which seems difficult to hold the belief that android does not have the feature while also implying they had the feature first

in fact your quoted statement to me sounds like "yes android now has that same feature" implying the opposite order youre inferring

as for the butthurt dyper he hasnt posted there in over two years but i suppose one could say once a dyper always a dyper idk im one already
