This seems more privacy than piracy.

As I said, I have a low memory device so I’m talking from experience.

In fact Google itself says that devices with less than 6GB of RAM should be running Android Go rather than Android 16.

Honestly, devices designed to be obsolete are a pain for everyone. We need devices that are designed to be usable in a few years, that means shipping them with decent processors, memory and storage. By Android 17, the minimum memory requirement is likely to be 8GB and there’s going to be a bunch of people wondering why some apps, the more complex ones like browsers, don’t run smoother.

Maybe a solution is that Firefox starts serving older devices an ESR.

Super sad. I was posting there too

Okay, that’s the problem. 4GB of RAM isn’t enough for modern Android. I know because it’s what I have on my tablet and it’s bullshit, if I use certain apps, others in the background are force closed, etc. All I can say is that with some of the changes taking place with the switch to Jetpack Compose, Firefox is getting better in terms of a smaller memory footprint, but that’s little consolation for you now and your urgent/present needs.

BTW, well done for using a private DNS for stopping the problem at the root.

I really appreciate you Julian

What phone do you have? And are you running anything like an anti virus?

Most users don’t change defaults. It’s the default in both Android and iOS.

RCS is an upgrade on SMS. The whole point of rooting is to circumvent restrictions, so wait for someone to stop shit talking modern protocols and figure out how to get it working. The idea that rooting was about making things easier was always a myth. It was never that.

We really need to get the IPTV community on Lemmy up and running.

Oh? Thanks for teaching me. I thought ML was the precursor to AI, but not actually AI.

It’s all just to impress investors. I don’t dispute that everyone is scrambling towards AI, but machine learning isn’t AI, most of it was barely machine learning. This, definitely isn’t AI. I used to have weather summaries on my vBulletin board. If there's a sunny.gif, echo "it's sunny, with highs of" . {high}…

TBH, marketing this as AI is just ridiculous. It’s literally a bunch of if/else statements.

I think it’s a stretch to call it AI, it’s the same thing that Niagara Launcher does. It barely even qualifies as Machine Learning and I say that as someone who thinks it’s very very cool.

DDT is back BTW

They literally support visual voicemail already that does all of this.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share. It’s certainly food for thought.

I agree with @Illecors@lemmy.cafe . The whole argument in the article is that unfamiliarity is scary. Despite the fact that all other Google products follow a similar model. Google have made it so that Canary is omnipresent and they can drop in and out features as they want for testing. The article writer is like, but at least the old way, we were sure. Even though there’s plenty of times things have come and gone for QPR’s and Developer Previews. It’s moaning for the sake of moaning and now saying very much. It’s actually embarrassing that the author got paid for such an article.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone about Pi-Hole.

Revamp the settings, so they are clear, simple and all there.

I’m intrigued. Do you mind sharing your thoughts about this? What’s the issue as it stands and how would you like to see things improved?
