Remember when android releases had groundbreaking new features and really cool dessert names?
Good time, good times.
I used to spend hours loading roms on my Nexus. Now I just spend hours removing Google from themselves
Me as well. 😄
Aww man, this hits close to home
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.
They still have the dessert names, they just don't use them in their marketing. This one is called vanilla ice cream, android 14 was upside down cake or something iirc, 13 was tiramisu.
10-12 don't seem to have dessert names for some reason though. Those were just q, r, and s.
They did.
- Android 10 Quince Tart
- Android 11 Red Velvet Cake
- Android 12 Snow Cone
But yeah, the codenames are almost never mentioned.
I think they should stop working on new features other than the occasional option and make these all about security updates
Why would they tell their people who aren't security people to just sit and do nothing?
I think they should stop making up new features and start giving us back all the features they've been taking away.
