Remember when android releases had groundbreaking new features and really cool dessert names?
Good time, good times.
Remember when they were still making features instead of taking them away to artificially limit us? Why does my phone have to snitch to my service provider that I'm using my hotspot instead of my phone? Why can't I use my wired headphones without a ridiculous hassle anymore? Why is there any price difference between 64gb and 128gb when I can buy a terabyte microSD from microcenter for $12? Surely they're not using the leverage of their market position to squeeze more money out of the entire population right?
Yeah, there was that brief period, maybe 4-6 years where each release had at least something exciting. I guess they've just run out of genuinely useful/innovative stuff to add.
I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.
google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.
id hate to use a disposable, enshittified phone as my only computer.
