androids whole purpose was to prevent micosoft or blackberry from dominating the mobile os market and then shutting out google services and ads

some "good" anroid news after an update a little while back my google telephone couldn't have more than four tabs in a browser open at once. any more and the browser would bring the entire os to a full stop when you tried to switch between apps. happened across different browsers, very frustrating I got a patch last week that apparently fixed the bug. now I can use my telephone without it randomly crashing. thanks google

i saw someone i know talk about trying to have an iphone for a while and complaining about how they couldn't do "power user" things on their phone like with android and how their friends are surprised about seeing a phone as "more than an entertainment + communication + phone rectangle" but their friends haven't "seen what they've seen". i can't possibly imagine what that is supposed to be does anyone here have any ideas?

yeah and that commercial venture crash and burned taking down the whole project. It got forked into LineageOS and has been trucking on ever since.

in quebec instead of april fool's you have "poisson d'avril," april fish, and the goal is to surprise people with a paper cutout or small toy of a fish. that's the entire prank. your mom gives you a bowl of cereal and there's a plastic fish in it. you go to work and your mouse isn't working and you flip it over and there's a paper fish on the sensor. someone tapes a fish to your back and you walk around like that all day. it is possibly the best prank humans have ever invented.

FMguru posted:google + hardware = comedy, every time idk, they are probably right that the market for premium phones is plenty saturated, and making a cheap phone and doubling down on squeezing every last user data dollar out of people is the play. which is more depressing than comedy. though i might be more of a wet blanket for this thread than is helpful at this rate :q

the pixel 4a and 5 look like they suit my needs. if i didn't just get a new phone last year, i'd probably get one. fingerprint sensor is way better than face unlock, soli is useless and i like light durable plastic over "premium materials"
