You tap search on the home screen, you get the Google app.

It’s happening via the Google app.

Same here. I literally swapped to Lawnchair to get rid of Google search from my home screen.

Unfortunately it doesn’t support Private Space yet.

One of them. The other is that this is open source which has certain implications that don’t exist exist for Nova.

Exactly. The path for success is clear as there’s clear need and public investment to back it up.

Apps typically don’t interact with the kernel. They interact with a C library like glibc, bionic or musl. So long as the kernel has a POSIX interface you should be able to compile the same app on different kernels. We do this with apps that run on Linux, BSD and QNX for example.

As for Android apps, you could extend that to running the Android runtime on top of different kernels. We did that with the Android runtime on QNX for BlackBerry 10 and we did it in a way that didn’t even require recompilation. That said Wiki says they don’t support Android apps. So if you meant Android apps they simply don’t.

Wow this is indeed a completely new OS - kernel, user space and all. I thought they’d use Linux and Qt but no.

Yeah this is really sus.

for a budget device

Not less important. At this sort of lifespan the availability of parts becomes an important question.

Pixel 8 Pro here. It just did a bulk charge session at peak 5A, average 4.5A. That’s nearly 1C. I didn’t record the temp but just like yours it was noticeably hot. I only fast charge when I’m in a bind.

Unfortunately the battery temp limits are often too high and let the heat at go really high which shortens the lifespan of the battery. If I let my Pixel fast charge as it pleases, I’d have drastically reduced battery capacity today. Instead I use USB-A to USB-C cables and older chargers to limit the charging current and therefore heat.

Interesting. Thanks for the recap!

What happened to feddit.de?

OK, let’s try it the dumb way 😅:

Profile, it includes the needed tasks.

Here, this is an export. Try importing it.

I already did that with Tasker. It’ll be welcome to have it built-in. :D

Oh Boy, Here I Go Redesigning Again!

The 8-series and beyond have a more power efficient CPU. Yes it’s the same general design so it’s not faster but it’s built on a smaller node. I don’t remember well but the modem might be a bit newer too and given how shit the Exynos modem is, any improvement is welcome.

Don’t open the next bottle.
