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