Termux: “Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power”
Maybe they could rather fix AOSP. Based on that recent LTT video Google doesn’t really give a fuck about it anymore.
I just recently bought 2 phones (one returned, other isn’t far from that), one with A14 the other with A13. Changing minimum width to >600dp (to simulate a tablet (larger screen) and trigger tablet mode) has very wild results now. I mean like overlapping icons in notification shade, completely non-functional 3 button navigation, app tray squished to less than width of 1 icon (completely unusable), icons getting off-screen, gesture navigation occasionally not working either, notification shade icons and notifications offset from their background (just a visual problem) and a lot of wasted space everywhere.
Sure, it’s in developer settings, but so far whenever I did something to this in up to Android 11 including, the phone just beautifully adjusted to this and everything suddenly made more sense on a large screen.
Though maybe I was just lucky?
I am currently typing this on an old Moto G5s Plus (2017) with the now discontinued PixelExperience (11) ROM. My last bug-free Android experience. I can even route hotspot over a VPN, how cool is that.
A garbage review of a cooler by putting it on the wrong GPU, then keeping the important prototype and then even selling it. Of course he never apologized or anything. It’s like with “Internet historian”, who turned out to be a pile of shit that only steals from others.
Disagreement? What? Piss poor review that completely invalidates itself… Selling someone else’s stuff… Not actually owning up to any mistake… What else is he supposed to do to call him garbage?
Team members (both former and current) have made some very concerning comments over the years about Linus’s private and public behavior, and have repeatedly raised concerns over the breakneck release schedule negatively impacting quality.
Whenever they get information wrong, or make clear mistakes on things that then effect how they review a product, they hide behind the tight release schedule of their videos, which is something entirely under their own control.
Linus himself has shown shockingly poor judgement and communication skills multiple times as he has publicly ran his mouth off and been overall an unprofessional jackass when people have pointed out his mistakes in the past.
They handle redactions and corrections incredibly inconsistently, if at all, and only when there has been significant backlash.
The whole “getting a hand made protoype waterblock for free, failing to do the bare minimum to ensure they installed it properly, blaming their botched install on the maker, choosing not to contact the maker to discuss anything, releasing a scathingly negative review to most likely tank the fledgling startup who sent it to them with install instructions they ignored, being intensely belligerent with everyone telling them they installed the thing wrong, claiming they lost the prototype when the maker requested it back, then selling the prototype as a reward for a charity auction”… that is only the biggest, most publicly called out fuck up recently, in an ever growing history of this sort of bullshit that goes back for years.
Beyond all that, if you have ever watched a single video of his about anything you already know about, it becomes immediately obvious just how much he’s and his team are learning the bare minimum about things and then just skating by on production value and speaking as though they have authoritative knowledge.
None of this is inherently damning, except for just how much money his organization makes, and that they project an image of being trustworthy authoritative knowledge sources when they really aren’t. Their entire business is based off the concept that they offer trustworthy and reliable information, but they explicitly don’t often enough that it is an inescapable problem. When called out on it Linus very publicly loses his shit and blames it on everything but their own failure to do proper research and take enough time to ensure quality control.
This is a marked downward trend in their content and public behavior that has been going on for more than eight years.
Lastly, I never said he was a garbage person. That was the comment I replied to.

Wow. I did not expect people to cite LTT on Lemmy. Who cares about this garbage person?
what did he do?

Yeah, fuck that guy
Probably people who missed the drama. Not like he really owned up to it on his own channel himself.
One disagreement is enough to make you a “garbage person”? Are you 12?

It was a lot more than a single disagreement.
