Only a very small subset of consumers care about custom rom support

Could almost be an advert for TSMC

Feature wise most mobile OS’s are pretty mature so it’s only natural to see less “improvements” compared to the early days.

Use your favourite Lemmy client for example, the first month of development every release brought a bunch of new features and improvements but these days the releases are all pretty small.

You get secure face unlock now as an alternative if the fingerprint sensor isn’t cutting it.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will mean not very good battery life

Not so much downloading games but offloading the processing to powerful servers in the cloud so you can play games that your phone typically can’t handle.

Cancelled my Netflix account when they announced the password sharing crackdown (even though I wasn’t password sharing), and recently cancelled my Spotify family account when they increased the price.

Just use https://app.strem.io/#/ add to Home Screen. You’ll need to download VLC to be able to play streams.

This one?

Awesome!

Bullet points to read it in seconds ftw

TLDW?

2 years of updates means you’ll quickly end up with a phone that’s waiting to be hacked

Quite a number of critical CVEs that result in remote code execution fixed in this months patch.

It’s a bit hard to find the details of the vulnerabilities let alone POCs.

I would assume the APIs provided by android use the underlying system libraries so if left unpatched then any app that makes use of the APIs could potentially be an attack surface? This is all my assumption and it would be nice for someone that specialises in Android security to comment.

If we look at some critical CVEs(eg. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-20222) in the past, they are mostly in system libraries.

I don’t think they are things that can be fixed on the app level?

Noooo, any alternatives?
