android’s security problems are not generally remote exploits, they’re the broken app security.

The Management posted:android’s security problems are not generally remote exploits, they’re the broken app security. while this is undeniably true thats simply the price of freedom  like the freedom to install an older broken version of an app that the developer ignored on the amazon app store or a backdoored version off a chinese app store

incredible that they haven't fixed the brilliant Android Auto design decision of diming the map interface showing your directions to pop up a notification about what new song is playing

Cybernetic Vermin posted:patched android is likely at least as secure as ios, at least exploit prices tilt that way (both browser escapes and full zero-clicks remain more expensive for android than ios). but then you need to ask yourself if the increased price is due to difficulty/complexity, or because the android userbase on the whole has much worse posture regarding patching so the payload is going to hit a lot more people

oh wow, the eu is fasttracking a law requiring phone manufacturers to do security updates for a legal minimum amount of time. really looking forward to that.

it's technically secure if the update disables all the radios or just prevents it from booting, right?

infernal machines posted:it's technically secure if the update disables all the radios or just prevents it from booting, right? there'll no doubt be a lot of stupidity to it, but as far as i can tell it is driven by various countries electronic identification systems having to eol a bunch of customers access, so it will likely be defined in terms of what those systems need. nothing whatsoever written yet though afaik. at minimum i am pretty confident that the slashdot approach of reading the law as literally as possible while playing as dumb as possible will turn out incorrect.

google already does 3 years and samsung just announced 4 years for theirs but this will prob. be the straw that breaks the camels back when it comes to lg and motorola. im not actually sure if moto sells in the eu but really it doesnt get worse than lg for long term support idk about the chinese oems who sell in the eu

Perplx posted:maybe oems will make less skus now Isn't there like a unique SKU for each major carrier? And given that the base models are the high end Galaxy S, the Galaxy Tab, the J series, and etc, you have to have a variant for some or all of them for specific carriers. Part of that is to make sure the phone has the right chipset and configuration to talk on the right radio bands, I think. But if everyone's using LTE, hopefully that will reduce the number of chipsets. I could be wrong, of course. Also, carriers need to stop putting their own crapware on phones.

Google just can not stop loving the chicken that is SD card storage. They're constantly trying to restrict or break that poo poo with every new version of their trash fire OS. I'd assume that this was a product of their eternal insistence on forcing me to put all my poo poo in their cloud servers so they can continue crawling all the way up my loving rear end in a top hat and selling selling selling selling every bit of private information about me that they can get their hands on but I'm not going to credit them with that level of competence, they're just loving stupid and don't ever plan any of their initiatives out worth poo poo. gently caress

sd cards are garbage and my favorite part of each android version is watching it break them more pretty sure android 12 is going to require scoped storage which might be the nail in the coffin

what if we just added storage in a way that could be ejected at any time and also would have entirely random quirks and performance characteristics? i bet that would make for a good end user experience

oh no removable storage is so hard let's not do it let's not do anything, it's all just too hard transferring your files to a new device should involve as much google crawling up my loving rear end in a top hat as possible 64gb should be enough for anyone right? why don't you use the cloud bro????? also let's pay a 400% markup for internal storage, i particularly like that part
