the video game bosses that fail into fresh new huge pay jobs one company over is an amazing racket, a good example of capital's circle of life

no reason video game company bosses should be any different than others officers of capitalism

if they could also make the same gesture do two different entirely arbitrary things, depending on whether you began the gesture on the screen or from the edge, that'd be great too

hi yospos lomg time no see

a friend literally gave me an anroid after the trade embargo against huawei. i think its a mate 10, but it identifies itself as "BLA-A09"

anyway i don't know much about android since i have been using iphones since the first model. apparently to root this phone the bootloader needs to be unlocked, but huawei is not supplying codes for this anymore.

is there anything i can do with this thing to make it less lovely because the camera is admittedly pretty good and i still only have an iphone se.

why would you put yourself through this kind of ordeal?

problem: qualcomm hasn't updated their mobile soc in half a decade, because who gives a gently caress? people are still buying the old ones and where else are you going to go anyway?

solution: google will start to develop their own soc, make a half-assed first gen release, then allow the project to languish for half a decade before quietly discontinuing it.

nah google has that process down. it'll be killed in six months

I've tried for years to go as low as possible but still not buy crap for tablets and phones.
For phones, Xiaomi (and now, Realme) is where it's at. For just $20 more than this one, you can get a Redmi A-series, which, while still under-specced (the sweetspot is the Redmi Note / Realme 6), will work as advertised w/ solid HW, OS and SW, a couple OS updates, and no surprise hidden defect/design failure. No NFC though.
For tablets, Xiaomi's are quite "expensive". Amazon Fire 8 or 10 (not 7) + Google Play is where it's at, unless you can't bear the idiotic iOS-like non-replaceable Launcher. I've had either design or durability issues with stuff from Teclast, Chuwi and Cube.

Little Brother,

Just buy an iPhone and an iPad and be done with it.
