Cybernetic Vermin posted:apples socs and cores are way way larger than arms though, just saying that i don't think there's that much on the table at the scale arm does cores at (i assume arm at least has bigger stuff on the roadmap, but i expect that apple will keep being the most audacious designers for the foreseeable future). don't sell them short, they managed to get noticeably worse results than qualcomm https://www.anandtech.com/show/12620/improving-the-exynos-9810-galaxy-s9-part-2

this is a pretty tricky joke, considering it looks nothing like the apple device, but then that device is also a ripoff of the microsoft original

So I just forced 90hz on my P4XL to see if I could notice anything different. Bejeweled Blitz is my toilet game of choice so I tried a game of it and holy poo poo are the animations sooooo smooth now. It almost looks weird how perfectly the jewels move across the screen compared to what it was on my P2XL and even before I forced 90hz. I won't be turning this off any time soon.

i'm deeply concerned about the framerate my telephone web browser runs atEndymion FRS MK1 posted:People with OP7s, Pixel 4s, or other high refresh phones, what is everyone using as their browser? After getting annoyed with Chrome's lack of adblock and feeling like it's only running at 60hz due to ads, I decided to experiment. I was unsatisfied with Firefox Preview and Samsung Beta, tried out using Edge since I have it installed for Microsoft reward farming. Only 60hz. But then I realized I had the Bing app for it's daily offers and lo and behold it is a 90hz browser with adblock. So I guess that's my new default?

infernal machines posted:google: this time we're going to fix the play store malware issues once and for all. ill be the idiot and ask okay so im not a computer toucher but its my understanding that a) antivirus doesnt work and b) google was already running server side antivirus on their store. but because of a) they still have malware regularly being distributed through the store so they have to do something how does this help? it brings the appearance of fixing the problem but because theyre going about it with automation that isnt going to work its still not going to work and then theyll still have the problem they have now plus look even more incompetent about handling it. this plan doesnt even work as window dressing right? am i missing something? its not like anyone buying androids cares about how much malware is in the store anyway so wouldnt it be best to do what microsoft does with the windows store and just pretend everything is fine? why show yourself trying harder and failing over and over?

google is dumb and thinks this will work, in the face of all the previous evidence to the contrary, also, their bar for "works" is almost subterraneanquote:"When you’re at the massive scale that we have in these platforms, when you can get even 1 percent incremental improvement it matters," he says.

google is in the “good enough” business. phone makers don’t care about malware in the app store, that’s a customer problem. sometimes they even helpfully preload it. and it’s not like they have any other options of OSs to ship with. as long as android is good enough, they’re going to keep shipping it. google is the new Microsoft and android is windows.

i may be mistaken, but i seem to remember a lot of stories about malware apps mentioning that they don't include the malware in the package on the play store, it's a payload downloaded after installation on the device, specifically to avoid being flagged in the store itself.

It wouldn't stop the "targetted to very few individuals" payloads but there's nothing inherently hard to detect about something downloaded after the fact, even time-gated.

Google, I'm an Electrical/Software Engineer and have worked as a subcontractor on google data centers and still have friends in DC ops near my home town. I try to promote Google stuff whenever/wherever I can, I've had a Pixel 1, 2, 3 and can't wait for the next one. As I'm sitting here tonight looking through forums and realizing there is no fix for this simple issue I'm furious. There are so many ways to fix this issue it isn't even funny. The fact that Google hasn't even come up with an ugly/temporary fix for this is beyond unbelievable. Do you know how many human hours you have wasted and how much frustration you have caused worldwide because of your failure to monitor these forums and see what your customers are saying. You better fix this poo poo and I mean fix it quick. This is almost enough for me to turn anti-google. As a software engineer, if I was in the right position @ google I could fix this in less than an hour. In fact,, here's a stop gap fix. Add a "common mis-spelling" field to our personal dictionary and we can do the work for you. You can even gather metrics from this massive help you'll be getting to improve your predictive text features. DO IT NOW, PLEASE.

no offense to all the dyllons but whatquote:What's really pathetic is that Apple can handle this stuff with Siri, but Google eats crap when it comes to names. My brother-in-law's name is Dyllon, He's the only one with a name pronounced that way on my phone, yet it always defaults to Dylan. Since there is no one by that name on my phone, it has to ask for clarification, as if it couldn't have been smart enough to default to Dyllon in the first place. Effing annoying.
