i was setting up for a cellular industry conference today and our booth is behind a row of Chinese ODMs that appear to be offering all the great knockoffs Android people love to import the strangest thing is that they also appear to have VoLTE candy bar dumb phones front and center as well... how are those still a thing? surely they must actually be android as well?

FMguru posted:they realized that they needed to do the apple thing of building their own processors, and they do have some experience in making cpus (the custom cores for their data center servers), but they have a lot of catching up to do if theyre going to compete with apple in the mobile processor space. how long is that going to take, and does anyone think google has the attention span to commit the resources over time to make that happen? they'll probably cancel the mobile processors just after tapeout because its taking too long

Cybernetic Vermin posted:yeah, though ultimately it has never really been a thing that any game gets long-term support unless you are paying some subscription. only real reason games often keep working on some platforms (windows, consoles) is the platform not breaking backwards compatibility (through engineering effort or through simply updating extremely conservatively in general). though the main examples of “walled gardens” are gaming consoles and part of the point of the certifications process for games there is so that they will continue to run for the life of the console despite updates. however, consoles do not promise compatibility between hardware generations and it’s generally a selling point and limited to certain games when it does happen. I’m not sure how that would translate to phones

strangely every car except Tesla is moving toward android soon. right now most cars with screens have a qnx infotainment system where the built in services are Qt c++ programs along with the android and CarPlay programs. the architecture in the future is a qnx hypervisor with rt guests for like your hvac controls, vehicle options, digital dash, etc and an android guest to run the infotainment system applications like the radio and map software. but everyone is just going to use CarPlay anyway instead of that android car stuff but maybe the built in apps will at least be useful to someone

FlapYoJacks posted:If Apple implemented RCS it would be the exact standard. The problem with RCS right now is the standard is complete and utter garbage and even Google uses their own modified standard that they refuse to give to anyone else without all your messages being routes through Googles servers, which Apple really does not want to do. RCS is a complete clusterfuck and required every carrier to do something to enable the new messaging as well as accepting and relaying them. the carriers being carriers needed to be dragged kicking and screaming for 6-8 years after iMessage was released to even start to implement the standards that would let built in messaging work vaguely like iMessage. finally google said to the carriers “gently caress it, we’ll run our own servers, all you have to do is forward everything related to RCS to us and we’ll manage it all” as a result… we have apple iMessage which is proprietary and a standard that is completely reliant on google because GSMA and MNOs couldn’t get their poo poo together over a decade I did a little effort post linking the standards and dates. the initial RCS standards go back to 3g iirc hobbesmaster fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Nov 28, 2022 |

we’re talking about in the security thread. Basically 5 years ago someone at google changed the behavior for the write only flag in an android core library from using the C fopen behavior to the POSIX open behavior. In fopen write only implies the truncate flag which zeros out the file on open. In the posix open write only does not do anything to the file until you write to it. it is not clear if this was an intentional change
