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
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.
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 mean, iOS is not doing better in that sense. They both are already mature systems and I think it would be great if they concentrate in polishing and perfecting what they already have (and hope AOSP doesn’t fall into the AI crap) but I guess that’s just me.
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.
