Took the July security update for my pixel, the next day it started rebooting every 5 minutes, forcing me to do a factory reset. After it offered to restore from a cloud backup it claimed was only 50 minutes old but it only restored half of my apps.

Apple pls hurry up and announce the iPhone refreshes so I can decide which one to order.
just get an iphone whenever you want it. it's not like apple stops pushing updates through after 6 months

It also said Google violated competition rules by paying phone makers to exclusively pre-install Google search on their devices and preventing them from selling phones that run other modified, or "forked," versions of Android.

well that's why i asked, cause i wasn't sure that apple would be cool with foxconn also making fPhones (with some other weird not-ios os on them), but i'm gonna take a brief pause from that stupid line of thinking to laugh at foxconn's blockchain phone

https://www.investopedia.com/news/foxconn-making-blockchain-phone/

quote:

Finney will use Sirin’s proprietary operating system and will be equipped with the usual paraphernalia for smartphones, such as cameras and RAM storage space. It has an expecred price of $799. A physical security switch that protects user e-wallets distinguishes it from other mass-market versions. In addition, the phone will use three forms of authentication: biometric, behavioral and password-based.

According to its white paper, Finney devices will form their own blockchain network to enable transactions. For example, Finney users will be able to sell their phone’s Wi-Fi to other users in public places using tokens. The phone also promises to convert cash to tokens to purchase articles from sites that accept cryptocurrencies, such as Overstock.com. The Bloomberg article mentions support for “specialized tokens” for such transactions. But there is a high degree of possibility that the startup might incentivize users to transact using its own SRN token, which is already listed on four cryptocurrency exchanges.

Bloomberg posted:

Some of the principles that Fuchsia creators are pursuing have already run up against Google’s business model. Google’s ads business relies on an ability to target users based on their location and activity, and Fuchsia’s nascent privacy features would, if implemented, hamstring this important business. There’s already been at least one clash between advertising and engineering over security and privacy features of the fledgling operating system, according to a person familiar with the matter. The ad team prevailed, this person said.

Lysidas posted:

just got a lenovo usb-c dock for my thinkpad, to use at home, so i can plug in one cable instead of 4-5 to use the monitor keyboard mouse and ethernet in the office

had the dock delivered to work, played with it a bit and on a whim asked my office mate to plug his anroid phone into it via usb-c

everything worked as you would expect a pc to: keyboard (though anroid nicely asked for authorization to enable the physical keyboard), mouse cursor showed up on the screen, phone display was mirrored to displayport external monitor, ethernet device was detected and im sure would have worked fine if not for university network requring mac addresses to be authorized

father in law who lives in a different state really likes to show us pictures on his phone whenever we see him, so i figured it could be neat to set up the usb-c dock to our tv, and we wouldnt have to crowd around his phone

but no picture

his girlfriend's anroid phone from a different manufacturer worked fine on the tv

(and yeah i know an answer could be "get a chomecast", but not getting that in addition to a apple tv)

i mean true but also some corporate environments dont allow appletvs and screen recording for testing or demos is way easier with a phone connected to a usb cable

at least for ios its all the same pipe basically so screen recording with quicktime works almost the same as airplay mirroring. its handy for user testing a mobile site and recording the interactions without hovering over their shoulder
