im still using my samsung flip-phone from 2006. it gives a warning that it's not provisioned every time i turn it on and it fails to ring half the time people call me, but it still "works"

"my phone fails at the most basic phone functions" is a v android statement

sometimes it means the app is poo poo that is to say it generates a new and unique notification for each thing instead of updating the existing notification. ive never seen this personally but ive seen it enough in screenshots to know thats whats happening. like hangouts will never show multiple notifications no matter how many messages you have but i think if you take five screenshots you get five notifications

sometimes (rarely since this is a nougat feature) you can have multiple notifications from the same app because theyre in different notification channels. as an example my podcast app has a notification channel for playback controls and new eps (among others) so its possible to see a notification for a playing podcast while having another for a new ep. each channel is completely configurable from whether and how you want it to display to whether it uses the light or makes sounds

twitter does this on the one android tablet i have

well i did point out that I doubted my x had been throttled.

seriously he bought a projector, a speaker, a battery, a folio cover, another camera, and some other poo poo.

if I had to wager he spent more on phone tchotchkes than the phone itself (which was on sale he pointed out)

shot in the dark here, does he drive a wrx and purchase an excessive amount of high-end televisions?

I used to work for a software shop developing software for ruggedized device poo poo. I was wondering if they were gonna start doing this cause there were whispers about switching to android when I left in 2012

also windows mobile or windows ce actually would be an improvement cause at least that platform has decent dev tools.

i know the ones at the grocery store where i grew up ran windows mobile because every scan was accompanied by the windows xp error sound

lol that you think that wasn’t just written by an engineer.

let me guess, the widget was one of the last things to go in from that team before release. the developer sent the strings going into their components to the technical writers quite close to the deadline for sending messages to the translators, and since everyone was rushing to make code complete, the tech writers were swamped. the assigned reviewer took a quick glance at the file, asked "were you present for the yearly message education? alright, i think this will be good enough." before approving sight more-or-less unseen.

am i close?

whoa looks like they also fined apple over their botched PR/tech rollout for the iphone battery problems. both of these fines kick rear end

it's literal loving pocket change, it does not "kick rear end"

what would kick rear end is the full and immediate seizure of all apple's assets within their jurisdiction (and subsequent redistribution to the poor, with the bulk of the payments being made to members of oppressed groups) and a formal indictment of all of the company's top leadership
