the same was claimed about ericsson base stations for a long time, but really near as i can tell they just hired all the people who actually designed the ericsson base stations, which is entirely fair game

would be unsurprised if that wasn't at the core of the cisco stuff too

a lot of people choose android because they care very much about who made their device/OS. "enjoy your walled garden appleailures :smugdroid:" is a cliche for a reason.

there are almost none of those people in the larger scheme of things, you just happen to know a bunch of them

same thing with the strawman hipster apple fan, these companies sell tens of millions of phones

android really is bad, but just make sure you get a phone on android one and it is bad in more funny than despair-inducing ways (i.e. the security update policy is weak but exists on one)

I'm skeptical we're going to get a better marketplace for high end electronics products unless a bunch of rich countries start actually enforcing antitrust law

yup most people dont do research before buying things. they buy a phone by going to the phone store and saying i want a phone

then the salesperson just sells them whatever model has the greatest kickbacks (either for them or their manager/company)

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
but the guy at the phone store said this was the best phone on the market!

sometimes when I switch into chrome it will show the last tab I closed for a split second

in this instance, i clicked a link in cspam the other day and it brought up a picture of captain falcon and mario (?) doing things with yoshi. I went "lol gross" and closed it. Nonetheless, it flashed on screen for a second when I switched to it this morning. glad I didn't hand my phone to someone to use!

"oh it's just a prank bro! someone on cspam ironically posted that Yoshi spitroast and I just checked it out for giggles"

I just discovered that you can double tap the task switcher button to cycle back and forth between your two last apps, like pressing alt-tab, instead of pressing the task switcher and then tapping the one you want. This is going to change my life. Android you absolute madman

yeah, that changed a version or two back. the old way worked so that two successive taps brought back the same app you were just in. the new version is nicer imo
