I think it’s available on the Pixel 8. Graphene OS enabled USB-C video out a couple of months ago.

I love Notesnook. You can’t save images (or any type of file) without their premium subscription. It’s well worth it tho.

Took them long enough.

I doubt that Windows 12 itself will require a subscription. There will probably be a subscription for all the AI trash Micro$oft has been implementing into the OS.

Not really. Higher end models are regularly sold out. In stock Pis are sold at an insane premium.

Love the PCIe interface upgrade. Hope they expand on it even more in the future.

Saying that no one was using the Dialer and Message applications is a straight-up lie. What else do you think are de-google ROMs using? GrapheneOS, for example, is still using it.

For one, they are generally cheaper than your usual external drive. They usually last longer, too.

TBH, you should just buy an internal SSD and pair it with a USB adapter.

Convenience at the price of reliance on outside infrastructure.

I agree, but that doesn’t explain why Google is actively removing components from the AOSP, such as the Dialer and Message applications. Fast Pair support was also recently removed.

I just hate that 90% of the stuff that’s announced for the next major Android version is either part of Google Play Services (proprietary) or not part of the AOSP. Android is becoming less open source by the day. I would even argue that a pure AOSP phone isn’t usable nowadays.

Bound to GooglePlayServices, unfortunately.

As someone who lives in a former communist country, I can tell you that “commie blocks” most definitely don’t fix homelessness.
