Honestly, I rate "open" less and less as time goes on. It's a fine principle, but there are other valuable principles (like minimal advertising and tracking, and quality of finish and performance). I think that the…
The article in question almost entirely focuses on those topics, so such comments are entirely relevant. There's nothing special about liking Android as an OS. I'm sure it applies to practically everyone who has an…
That just means that the Pixel 10 meets their security requirements. Porting this time around will require a significant amount more work (if it's even possible), due to various changes in the way Google publishes…
You missed the primary issue OP mentioned, which is that ASOP is becoming a smaller and smaller part of the entire OS, and there's an ever-increasing amount of work needed to make it work on a real phone.
How do you see that playing out in the medium to long term? Google have made it very clear that they're done with the "open" side to Pixel, and they have comparatively unlimited resource to throw at the issue.
None of these options are "open". You just have to decide what you really want from a communications device.
There is no winning. Get an iPhone, or a dumbphone.
How can it mean that? "1x smaller" has a very clear meaning - the thing is one time smaller than it's current size, or zero.
What's 1x smaller?
How do you make something "33 times smaller"? Maybe break it down, starting with making something 1 time smaller, then 2 times smaller, and we can see where it goes.
33,000 multiples - (33 * 33,000 multiples) = -1056000 multiples
Any decent C compiler will use loopholes in the standard to optimise your code :)
