Lol of course, but I have also briefly tried it on an s22 ultra, and it still wasn’t a great experience. Still not a new-new phone, but it still had similar stuttering/lagginess issues that just killed the experience for me.

But it probably depends on what each individual can tolerate.

Dont take this as an endorsement, I have 2 semi broken ones, but nexdock/uperfect make lapdocks. The touchpads are pretty awful though.

Having used dex on a Samsung s10, I think 1 still applies to some extent. But maybe new phones are better?

Single universal cable is pretty good though, definitely required.

Motorola have been doing desktop modes since the Atrix 4g. Samsung have had it for a long time as well (s8 or s9?). Its kinda crazy how slow google is at getting this out for stock android.

You really got dogpiled hard there, as if being corrected half a dozen times wasn’t enough, they had to downvote you to oblivion as well :(

Old kernels still run on it, it just won’t get new versions.

The reason Linux (and BSD) is perfect for old machines is that the source code is available, so anyone can maintain it if they want to. It doesn’t mean the core Linux team has to maintain it for them though.

Alphonso is listening for TV sound signatures, which while definitely intrusive and privacy invading, is not the same as 24/7 listening for voice-to-text-to-ad purposes.

They would only need to listen for a second or so to determine what channel you are on, instead of all the time, so there is a massive difference in scope.

They are effectively shazaming your TV.

Still creepy and invasive, but not 24/7 recording invasive.

The myaddress+shop@gmail.com should be trivial to defeat by a spammer. Its a very simple string remove/replace to get back to a stock email address, or change it to impersonate another service, eg. myaddress+netflix@gmail.com.

It’s only useful for the actual service, after that, you can’t rely on it.

Wonder whose responsible for the policies that created that? :D

Lots of these are still American, and Bluesky isnt any-less of a walled garden, they just haven’t reached enshitification-critical-mass yet.
