I know this site is dedicated to Samsung phones but the title could be framed better. Chrome isn’t just being stopped updating for older Galaxy phones, it is being dropped for all pre Oreo Android devices, so it has a much wider reach than just Samsung.
Also, why does Opera require Android 12 as a minimum system requirement? I haven’t used it on mobile but boy, they really cut off a lot of older android users.
I couldn’t open the article. Prompt to sign in via X site, then sign up for newsletter; it is shitty.
Coming to the article, his argument makes no sense. India’s youths don’t need to burn the midnight oil to catch up to developed countries. India has a lot of unemployed, underemployed(people having a degree higher than what they are working in; imagine having a MBA and doing a clerical job, that is common here) people.
On the contrary, I would argue there is oversupply of skilled labor in the country but not enough jobs (cough population cough). Logically, you can start instituting four week days and hire extra people. Sure, ultimately company need to pony up more but that is a logical way forward.
Oh, and there are a multitude of things that no amount of work from youths can change in India, which stop it from rising further as a country. But I will stop my rant. Suffice to say, I expected more from a man of his stature than such a statement.
This is the third insightful comment from you on this thread against him. Are you by any chance, the alt of the user who wrote the original article on Wiki of the OS?
It is quite common, in places like the Indian subcontinent. Though I really doubt Tinder will be able to make any significant dent of it’s own in this domain here.
Yesterday, I was trying to simply automate turning on/off Wifi via Tasker at a set time. Turned out Google has removed API access for this pre Android 12 only and can’t be done. If Google wants to be make an IOS clone, then it is doing very wrong, IMO.
In android 14, they still allow sideloading via stuff like F Droid or apk’s downloaded from internet? Or does the user has to confirm a prompt everytime? At the rate Google is restricting stuff, maybe some years down the line, the only way to sideload apps would be via adb.
Yes, as someone said about the US. It has 2 parties. A right wing and a crazy right wing.
Hasn’t Chat GPT in the past even relayed incorrect information to users on some topics? I would assume none of the these fancy AI tools(or are they still language models) still have reached the inflexion point to replace a proper repository of knowledge yet.
Many folks might disagree with me, but no portal can be without it’s biases. Everything that involves politics or ideology in some form will be biased towards one side or the other. IIRC, Larry Sanger himself said that the site has a left wing bias. That is not to say that the information is wrong there, just that stuff there could be tinted with a prism that is not exactly neutral.
Shame because the new UI is objectively shit. Autoplaying videos, less dense UI and worst of all, RES works best with old UI. I didn’t need to touch my mouse to navigate Reddit all these years thanks to RES. Now, thanks to Spez, he has broken something that didn’t need to be fixed.
