In other words, it’s fine to defend vigilantes when they kill unarmed Black people or anti-racist activists, but when a CEO’s life is taken, we must solemnly stay silent on the reasons why such a person might be targeted or why bystanders might not be crying.
I also like how the pixel3a has a plastic back instead of the glass on the OP6 so it does not shatter if you drop it.
Yeah, same. That's one of the 2 main things I don't like about the OP6 (the other being the non-removable battery). Putting a protective case on it solves the problem though
Nice. I actually installed postmarketOS last year for fun. How is it nowadays? Last time I tried it, the camera didn't work, I didn't manage to set up Waydroid, most non-GTK apps didn't adapt well to a phone, and afaik there were no push notifications (which was a big deal for me because having an app always running in the background made the battery drain much faster). Also what interface do you use? I used Gnome with mobile patches
Clearly, phone hardware has gotten to the point where it can support software for that long, and computers have been in that stage for a very long time
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Software supports hardware, not the other way around. You could run the latest android on any powerful enough hardware. The only limit is the porting effort
For example, the samsung galaxy s4 was released in 2013 with android 4 and the latest official version for it is android 5
The lineageos folks however have been - until recently - maintaining android 11 (and previous versions) for it, afaik fairly easly. The only reason they don't have newer android versions for the s4 is that android 12 depends on a kernel feature which samsung's ancient official version doesn't have. The lineageos folks could in theory reverse engineer the proprietary drivers and maintain a more up to date kernel for the s4, but they simply don't have the manpower
Samsung tho? They easily could support modern android versions on this 2013 phone, but they won't for the same reason they made batteries non-removable: they don't want you to use old hardware, they want you to buy a new phone every year
I typed this on my 2018 phone (oneplus 6) running android 14 (the latest official version is android 11)
I phrased that wrong, in my first comment I was just poking fun at how companies are adding LLMs to everything for the sake of it, like:
Add LLM integrations
???
Profit
And they aren't doing anything innovative either, they just act as a middleman between you and OpenAI/Google/etc.
It looks like Kagi assistant is one of those rare cases where the LLM integration does actually make sense, but I don't think paying $15 more is much better than just opening chatgpt.com in a second tab
