Who cares. Play Services backwards compatibility for new Android APIs and security updates being separated from the OS make this irrelevant.

You must be new here. People constantly state they love the ability to lay Pixels flat.
Also it doesn’t look like that’s changing with the 9 series…
Does F-Droid often sign apps they distribute? That seems odd.
I didn’t realize at first that the 24 in the version number stood for the year 2024. That made the initial version being 7.6, then the next version 24.2 very confusing lol
No, but I’ve used an Azeron for gaming for a bunch of years now. It’s great for gaming but I don’t think I would even recommend anything remotely close to actual typing.
It makes sense when you factor in the development and maintenance cost. How many people have a desk with monitors, keyboard and mouse but don’t already have a more powerful machine they use there?It’s a high price to pay for the 1% of users that will ever try it.
Trying out a Kinesis Advantage was what really got me into ergonomic keyboards. However, I spent very little time with it before getting an Ergodox (Hotdox), that I stuck with for years. That whole time I thought that I didn’t like keywells… but really I just didn’t like the (orthorinear) Kinesis keywells. I know this now after building the dactyl manuform that I use every day.
If you can get a sense for what you want I highly recommend getting a dactyl manuform. Nothing from a company is remotely close in terms of customization. If you can/want to build it yourself even better because you can cheaply experiment and find out what you like.
This is going to sound very ‘my uncle works for Nintendo’ so feel free to not believe me, but the last I heard it was a “talent retention project”. Google would rather let some extremely good engineers work on Fuschia, even though it that has very little value, than leave the company and build something higher value for a competitor.
The real important reminder here is that you should never use SMS as your 2FA delivery method. Phone numbers aren’t private and once associated with an account it’s far too easy to spoof/sim swap and intercept the code.
That is exactly like saying having a separate deadbolt on your door is adding another attack vector…
It’s not clear why Google wants to do this, but one theory is that it’ll run some workloads more optimally and securely than microdroid.
Microdroid is a “Parallel Virtual Machine”. The idea is to offload part of the responsibility of an app to this VM so that it can execute in an environment that is more secure than what Android can guarantee.
So nobody knows why but (in typical Fuchsia fashion) it probably isn’t something a consumer would even know or care about.
Uh huh… The Oxford definition literally says that’s untue.
of or involving sound waves with a frequency above the upper limit of human hearing
Huh? Multimodal is coming later this year (like I said in my last comment).
They have had on device Gen AI running on Pixel phones in production since last year.
Gemini Nano. It’s in Pixel Recorder and Gboard but multimodal capabilities are coming soon. It’s very limited to a couple phones and not many companies outside of Google have access, but it has been used in production since last year.
Apple does not have on device AI in production today. Microsoft’s “Copilot+PCs” launched less than 2 weeks ago, but are significantly more powerful machines.
Ironically Google is kind of the only one actually doing on device AI.
This feature seems entirely pointless, especially for this device (which should just be called the Pixel Fold 2).
Since the device is basically square (resolution 2,076 x 2,152) why would you not just rotate 90 degrees to change the side by side to top bottom like we can today?
Yeah, I was using an Ergodox when I bought this set years ago but now I’m down to ~36 keys so I have quite a few extra lol
I don’t see myself changing anytime soon, auto mouse layer is amazing. I have a Draculad PCB and case but no real reason to build it since I wfh.
Because people don’t understand the difference between using ChatGPT running in a datacenter somewhere via API calls and having a tiny model actually running on device.
Even quantized down to 4bit the best 7B models barely run locally on the best mobile hardware that exists today. GPT4 is ~250x larger than that 7B model lol
Handwired.
