They fooled themselves.

Does “worth $1 billion” still mean anything these days?

Would have been funny if they did that and it turned out to be the crappiest phone ever

I don’t even believe them, but until that update is actually released, the announcement is just the information we have for now.

Tell you what, you’re not allowed to reply for 24 hours. Go think about it.

Imho a better comparison would be not being allowed to post within the first 24 hours after signing up. Sure it would be annoying once, but not much of a deal in the long term.

You had to enable the “installing from other sources” setting long before this change, and there are people who did that. How many of those would now stop doing that just because of the one-time wait?

Google said installing apps from unverified developers is still going to be possible, you just have to wait for a 24 hours delay once to unlock the setting: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

What’s with all these posts making it sound like sideloading is going to be removed from android?

In reality, there is no 6 Nimmt! World Championship

If anything a perfect grid would be mildly infuriating, it’s more interesting this way

The achievement is that so many people went to the protests.

I have not been to a protest in the US. Over here you don’t have to register to vote, so that wouldn’t be a thing to do at a protest, but it’s good to hear that they are doing that over there.

From another article about this topic:

This leads to the question of what exactly the FCC means by consumer-grade routers.

In September 2024, NIST submitted proposals to strengthen the – undeniably modest – IT security of routers (NIST IR 8425A). It states: “Routers forward data packets, most commonly Internet Protocol (IP) packets, between networked systems.”

So new smartphones are banned too?

Was wondering about those stickers. The packaging itself doesn’t have the actual ingredients?

It looks like the AMD model still comes with SO-DIMM. Was hoping for AMD + LPCAMM2 + repairability, but I guess you can’t have everything yet.
