The kernel started moving faster, but also the kernel for these devices are orphans. They can never be updated properly because the source code for the kernel modules is not available. The way the phones get updated in ROMs is by back porting changes from the present back to the old orphan. It requires someone super familiar with both kernels to do so. Eventually it becomes untenable. The whole scheme of Android is centered around this source code/orphan kernel scheme. Everything is setup so that hardware manufacturers never have to add their source to the mainline kernel meaning you can never own the device. There is not a single phone or mobile device that you can completely own and running on mainline with available source code. The pixel is all about the TPM chip.
Actually, space civ or anywhere else for that matter will serve as an excellent research lab experiment to solve Earth's problems.
I'm not in favor of the tech bro++ oligarchy at all, and I believe this is going to get a good bit worse before it gets better for a specific reason of what will happen after the first M-type asteroid in NEO is successfully mined.
One must look at the situation on Earth from an uninvolved 3rd party perspective. Everything humans do is just a form of complex social hierarchy like any other animals. The primary form if display is the barbaric primitivism of collecting the fundamental means of survival; wealth. There is little incentive to display in other more advanced forms like reputation (academia/film industry), or merit (Olympics/military), within the broader population. One can behave terribly and ameliorate a massive share of the real cost using the environmental container to distribute the tax. In space, that is simply not possible. Sustainability is only possible within the elemental cycles. Existence becomes the driving factor. The economy of social hierarchy instead shifts to more advanced forms such as merit and reputation. The most fundamental resource and struggle becomes the heat budget in most instances. This fundamental shift is very important to future history as it creates the technology and engineering mindset that the environmental container is not a valid unlimited resource. Once the technology exists at smaller scales in space, it can be implemented at greater scale on Earth. The financial burden to iterate this tech and refine it to the point where it can be practical on Earth with little cost increase is simply not viable at all, not even for government programs. The big difference is M-type asteroids. Few talk about this, but elemental resource scarcity on any round planet is due to gravitational differentiation. The moment humans access a large M-type astroid (the core of a differentiated planetesimal that has broken up), all wealth accessed in the Holocene is basically irrelevant. The moment that happens, within a generation there will be space colonies. Everything else happening in space is basically taking this into context. Japan in leading the way on prospecting and mining exploration at the moment. They are the most relevant group to watch at the moment.
Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.
This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.
Pixel 4 is past EOL with Graphene (and google)
Samy usually requires Odin3 to flash ROMs – which requires a m$ 4 pane trash shoot OS. I haven't used m$ since the Samy S3 Galaxy era, so things may have changed but I doubt it.
Literally (fiction) speaking, I've randomly gambled on ~10 generations max before the population crashes if a generation ship arrives and fails to complete an O'Neill cylinder on the other side.
Sound legit? 4am, going to bed, so no read.
I am surprised it took you this long.
The next step in this evolutionary thinking is simple. Buying hardware specs is a fool's folly. I don't compare hardware. Ads and marketing are totally nonsense and not worth even a slight glance. The ONLY thing that matters is what open source projects exist and what hardware do they support well. This is how I shop. Open Source or F.O.
My life is on a trajectory to homelessness with disability and a system that refuses to help me. This is me, in the future, being traumatized, abused, and dying in a gutter somewhere while being criminalized because a political refugee from the other side of the world had to have a driver's license but had the cognitive capacity of a third grader. I was just commuting to work on a bicycle, a racer, upper middle class guy, working in a chain of high end bike shops. I'm you on an extremely unlucky day. You're only one bad day away from this exact same issue.
Don't know much about Stein, but most of what I've heard from Sanders sounds like the kind of sanity that the asylum riots to resist. The USA has no Left.
I think I did at one point but it did not work for me. That was a long time ago though.
