Andy Rubin... Andy-roid... how did I never put that together? anyway, the market for high end smartphones is now: iPhone - only one of these that runs a good OS and has the best hardware. also has the best apps and doesn't send all of your personal information to the internet. Samsung whatever - best android hardware, the most garbage os and will never get updated. most likely to be supported by app makers. also most likely to burn your house down. pixel - cheap garbage hardware at a premium price because it's the least bad android OS and most likely to get updated. sales: approximately zero. essential - looks like a nice premium case and display, better hardware than pixel, same os strategy. so I guess essential is going after the coveted pixel market of essentially zero sales.

LastInLine posted:ive got to ask then how is it that the promotion committee came to value clock size changes? like when youre in front of the career tribunal why arent results or necessity taken into account? the answer is that android users get bored with consistency and reliability. they prefer to see constant churn of UI changes because it makes upgrades more exciting. they think the OS is an end in and of itself, not a means for getting things done. we forget now, but there was a time when "widgets" were considered essential components of your android desktop. clock is the only widget that wasn't completely idiotic. hence four clock android screenshots.

Oreo kernel hardening https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/08/hardening-kernel-in-android-oreo.html?m=1 summary: KASLR, PAN, not dumb copyin/copyout, lock down init rw section. it's great to see android get security features that the iOS kernel has had for years. and since android kernels don't get updated even in devices that get updates, no phone out there today will ever get these.

Samsung's cores are basically "optimized" arm cores. they take the stock ARM designs and tweak them a little. they've never been a player in the ISA development process like apple, Qualcomm, AMD, and Nvidia have been, which is something you would expect from someone doing their own microarchitecure.

also from anything I've heard working at Samsung is awful but you can't say anything about it because of Korean pride. I've an engineer from Samsung Semiconductor ask me to relay messages to Samsung Display because they literally can't communicate internally.

Lutha Mahtin posted:i still don't understand how MS managed to have some actual success with the xbox brand. it's like the single new consumer product/line of theirs in decades that they didn't mismanage into oblivion when you say success, do you mean not counting all of the billions they poured into generations of Xbox that lost money, RROD replacements, HD-DVD, Kinect, and the whole Xbox to control your media center debacle?

Xbox is in no way a success. it is a huge financial failure and Microsoft spent years of creative accounting trying to hide the losses. the entire Steve Ballmer era at Microsoft has been one gigantic rolling disaster, propped up by windows and office being endless money fountains. the new guy seems to be doing much better in at least not loving up as much as ballmer did. I bet we will never see another real Xbox.

Endless Mike posted:the essential phone by andy rubin has sold approximately 5000 units since launch. very surprising that android people don't want to spend iphone money on a phone! anyone who wanted one of these got it online. the sprint sales are basically random customers that were pushed by some salesman to buy it. still very bad though. I wonder what the sell in was.

I saw some kid taking photos non stop at a gig a few years ago and the lag on his branded phone was a good 4 seconds. every single photo looked like complete poo poo. android has so many loving layers that it takes forever to get anything done. but don't worry, google is solving that by adding more layers in oreo

[quote="“Smythe”" post="“477087697”"] Google is generous with cords and dongles. With my 6P I got 2 good rear end usb c cables (c to c with the super charger wall wart) and an a to c. Then with my Fi kit I got a cool very short a to c cable. Bravo to Google! 🎉 [/quote] pixel 2 does not include headphones of any kind
