I haven’t paid attention to the android market for a while, pretty cool that the “open nature” of android has pretty much just been boiled down to Samsung.

I have never owned a Samsung product that wasn’t a tremendous piece of poo poo, including a very expensive refrigerator that would randomly fire ice cubes across the room and lost the ability to circulate air due to condensation and ice build-up.

the google model: works acceptably some of the time, occasionally shits itself badly enough to take down the local cell, stays in "beta" forever so they never have to address the underlying issues

I haven't used an android phone since I had a Galaxy Nexus that would randomly hard lock when I tried to play my music because I had too much music. Playing music is a core feature. Come on.

the only really bad thing in rogue one is the contractually obligated shoehorning in of old movie characters. they should have just hired some other ancient british dude to reprise tarkin and left out the classic droids, vader, leia and the blockade runner

It's a Star Wars movie. It's bad by default. 45 year old men lined up to watch a saturday morning cartoon movie meant to sell toys.

watching google and samsung try so, so loving hard to make android phones something other than a poor man's last resort has been an enduring source of lols

they've both spent billions on "flagship" devices that sell to approximately no customers, and android remains the phone for people who couldn't afford something better

just money poured into a void, an endless chase for prestige they will never attain

think back to 1995. their competition was Apple, who people weren’t sure was going to make it to the next century, and $10000+ Unix workstations. even nt was still resource intensive enough as to not be aimed at the home market

for home users consumer grade windows was basically the only game in town

I like to think about the original Macintosh which was $8400 in 2020 bucks and still sold well enough to continue development.

America was a different world back then.

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.

Jesus, Canada is so loving stupid.
