akadajet posted:most android users are used to compromised rooted devices, so having them install stuff outside the app store is really nbd i used to work for a company that made online casino gambling apps; our business model was predicated on that 'unknown sources' option since iirc google didn't allow gambling apps on the play store until very recently. weirdly apple never seemed to have a problem with it. was probably less a principled stand and more of a lack of interest in localities wherein online casino gambling is legal, but i did sort of respect them for it nontheless

The Management posted:next step is having them install a separate store by each major game company. I remember when I first got a Samsung galaxy s3 and there was the google app store, Verizon app store, and Samsung app store all already installed so it's not that far out of the question tbh

I bought at Kindle Fire 2015 tablet for $15. As I was unboxing it I had this overwhelming feeling that I had just paid to dispose of someone else's garbage. It is convinced it is a kids tablet and wants me to sign up for some bullshit. I skipped this, and find it only seems to have the Amazon store with knockoff applications, and a limited selection of things. It is slow as gently caress, where even reading web pages they just plum give out half way down and become blank while scrolling. I was able to figure out how to put the Google Play store on it so I can install a variety of viruses and applications, but, first I had to identify the 'code name' of the appliance to ensure I was looking up the right information on the XDA forums like it is a piece of James Bond spy gear. You know, like from that scene were he is loading the secret computer codes and stands around for ten minutes looking at his watch. 8/10.

Q: Ah, Bond, you'll love this - the boys out at our Korean R&D division just got it over. Bond: One of those digital assistants? Q: Precisely, but, while you carry it, it will overheat and drain its battery, rendering it useless as a PDA but a perfect undercover bludgeon. And if you stab it with a pen, it will burst into flames.

there's almost certainly a whole bunch of dyp threads, full of people happy to tell you that you should get the particular device that they got. if you want actually useful information they're probably not so helpful though

strangehamster posted:I will be serious and suggest a Nokia 6.1 phone. peace be with you. (and with your spirit) the new "nokia" phones do certainly look way less bad than most of the comparable androids in their price ranges. we'll see if they actually follow through with their promises in terms of updates if hoboman can wait until the next pixel is announced that might provide more clarity. although that could still be a couple months away
