no, ham is disgusting and not fit for human comspumtion, the good easter stuff is kielbasa and especially kiszka

i figured you could probably do some cool multiplayer thing on stadia leveraging the fact that you always have near-zero peer-to-peer latency and are running things on 100% trusted hardware but lol, can you imagine building a game that you could literally never port to some non-stadia platform

Samsung, in particular. it takes a huge software investment, which is not something most chip companies are usually prepared for or know how to execute, and usually ends up poorly. intel made mediocre modems. in typical intel fashion the software was bad. also they put a loving x86 chip in their modem because they’re intel. Apple owns that business now. they will likely integrate the modem into their soc, dump the x86 core, and eventually whip the software into some shape. but it will take a long time and they will still be behind qualcomm. google will of course try it eventually, assuming their chip plans don’t implode. they will punt on the hard problems by replacing a real algorithm implementation with a machine learning model. it might work decently most of the time. good enough for android quality, anyway. but that will be a long time from now.

the google model: works acceptably some of the time, occasionally shits itself badly enough to take down the local cell, stays in "beta" forever so they never have to address the underlying issues

Playing music is a core feature. Come on.

I had a Galaxy Nexus once and it exploded my favorite headphones by handing off from my Bluetooth speaker to the headphones in the wrong order or something and producing a tremendous burst of ear-splitting noise that destroyed the diaphragms. Don't buy Samsung products

they probably stay open in the background while misusing an api while sending your location data to an untrustworthy entity and draining your battery at the same time
