man, the zaurus, that was a weird time one thing i learned from being a windows phone early adopter sucker is, strangely, that it is a fair bit of fun being an early adopter (i so would have gotten the nokia internet phablets in the maemo era if i hadn't been a poor student then). i may try to jump on the next thing if there is ever a next thing

thesurlyspringKAA posted:what the hell happened here? did they train the software on public transit and so it sees bus schedules everywhere?? well, broadly, what happened is what happens with most of the stuff of this nature presently; in a black box way they end up overfitting heavily, and given poor inputs they will pick some a-priori most likely answer. it is, btw, what will in an eventual future kill you, as you in an ill judged moment take a Designatd home from a bar and it thinks it sees a turn in the road in some tree branches in the wind. p. sad.

nothing shown so far suggests that it is anything but a bad calibration, the pictures have certainly looked uniform, so it is really not very serious but doubly embarassing

DuckConference posted:It might just be power of suggestion, but I definitely see something similar when scrolling on a pixel that's upside down. Presumably it's not the actual AMOLED module being mounted upside down, but something a little more subtle elsewhere in the chain. perhaps the surface coating being a bit weird on some off angles (i.e. having some behavior "upwards" to avoid reflecting overhead lights too badly)? do you still think there is a difference if you lay it flat and look straight down at it? all sounds super-weird though, but a bit too consistently reported to be easy to dismiss as nonsense outright

Breakfast All Day posted:welcome to the joy of anroid, where every manufacturer sells out their customers by replacing googles perfectly ok apps and interfaces with their own horseshit that cant be uninstalled or disabled w/o going full neckbeard admin and rooting otoh people have been saying this since the early days, and when i did try vanilla android in the 1.5-2.1 era it turns out it was absolutely laughable trash and the manufacturer modifications were obviously necessary. a very recurring pattern to android stuff overall, getting told that something is the way to go and finding that it is actually a garbage fire, but as long as i commit to another thing it has been fixed or replaced or whatever (but turns out to be a different garbage fire)

as long as you can predict which device of the generation will not turn out to have huge quality issues, not be abandoned without security updates within six months, and wont spontaneously catch fire, android indeed seems a lot better despite a lot of selection bias making people think that is easy it seems to remain a crapshoot though "just get a device that isn't garbo" etc.

LastInLine posted:are the exynos chips straight arm designs? i thought they were at least a bit different rather than just cut and paste? as endless mike says they *call* them custom designs, but i don't think there has been any evidence they have ever achieved anything except making them a little bit worse on some metrics qualcomm meanwhile has a pretty hit-or-miss recorrd on cpu design, but they do still own the market when it comes to integrating functioning modem hardware on a die, afaik there is no real competition there

while the question may still be relevant *that* data point is pretty crappy, safari is way faster than chrome on octane on the same hardware, and it is not too obvious that octane is useful for real-world comparisons anymore EL BROMANCE posted:android shutter lag is hilarious. 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. this is mostly because there is a global broadcast for a new photo being taken (e.g. to wake up dropbox to upload it), and every lovely app in the universe pointlessly registers itself for that broadcast, so it is spending those 4 seconds trying to swap in three dozen apps simultaneously (*actually* simultaneously, it does not afaik account for e.g. all apps not even fitting in memory at once). oreo will actually likely help this a bit, since they are finally coming around and killing off that functionality

last time i had an android phone it used to randomly wake me up in the middle of the night with a loud notification sound which informed me that a system component had crashed (did not respect the volume controls or setting it to silent), took me an age to figure out what the pattern was: it would eventually crash if i placed it on a library book on my bedside table, the nfc implementation kept attempting to talk to the nfc tag in the book, and its negotiation attempts with this mysterious object the nfc subsystem would (sometimes) crash that is my android story

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:why is that anyways? patents? the modems are the big deal, qualcomm beat everyone to the punch, and has kept the lead, on integrated baseband on the soc the only realistic alternative is to either go with multiple variants for different markets (as samsung does, they have lte working on exynos, but for markets where they also need cdma they drop in the qualcomm), or go with two chips, which is what apple does, but then you have a rather different bom calculatioon to do e: this is also rather what intel really failed at, they bought out infineon to try to make a fully integrated soc, but they didn't manage to put the thing together in a timely fashion. it is not that unlikely that their x86-in-phones play could have worked with aggressive pricing *if* it wasn't for the fact that they didn't have the full solution (they have one now in the atom x3, but that came out in 2015 when the battle was already lost) Cybernetic Vermin fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Nov 15, 2017 |

it's a terrible analogy as microsoft made their empire largely on making cheap software with free development tools, and providing prodigious levels of backwards compatibility google beat them on the first two, but everyone caught onto the first two, and google can't conceptualize the third at all because they don't have even entirely non-compatible continuity for any product they make, create and forget~

The Management posted:might be dangerous if Apple had a stranglehold on the notoriously closed systems of displaying QR codes or making RFID payments, which are definitely not available elsewhere. this, except unironically, was the point yeah. it didn't come to pass as such, but if e.g. pay had become dominant it is easy to imagine the stickiness of a situation where people goes "eh, my card only works with pay so changing phones would be too much of a hassle", or special rebates involved or whatever. far better to have it remain a bit messy and not have choice of phone hardware also come with too many ecosystem effects not that it is immoral by apple out anything either (perhaps good to imagine google in the same place to more clearly see it as an issue), but there not being a lot of deals in place keeps things rather more flexible

the blobs are cool and distinctive, and it is typical google to kill them off because they have to fit some model of the market they are imagining all google design has in fact gone from quirky and often bad to generic and invariably terrible. material is an interesting experiment in just standardizing on annoying and looking out of date

when it gets to mindshare and actually getting money and so on though. in fact that doesn't really cover it, rather google, and a lot of other tech companies, have a bit of an irrational inferiority complex vis-à-vis apple. at least i put the drab design efforts google puts forward down to that

the library in spotify is relatively recent, and i suspect it only exists as a half-hearted gesture towards itunes expats who expect their music to work along those lines i may have missed something in the functionality of provides though, have been on spotify since 2008 and have been conditioned to just amass playlists, and have in fact increasingly forgotten how anything else works

Midjack posted:remember how weird amazon was about the fire, they really really don't like not controlling distribution. i am pretty sure that googles grip on what you can and can't do is a lot more subtle but restrictive than the internet idea of it suggests in fact, samsung being able to get away with something is likely a very uninformative sign, because they have invested a lot of money into having a lovely alternative to every google service, and are, after all, the top android oem. there is more leverage there than for many others

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:as lovely as tizen is it still scares google this is probably true, samsung could if they felt the need no doubt drag people onto tizen. more immediately though samsung is clearly always standing prepared to discard the google services and instead run an aosp android amazon-style, if google oversteps. all their homebuilt replacement stuff for the apps is sort of lovely, but most of googles stuff is as well (maps is the trickiest bit), and it'd mean tthat point google neither gets paid nor has any say in what samsung does from there on out samsung is certainly big enough that they could get anything of value on the google play store into a samsung store if that was the only way to run on the next series of galaxies
