It's 2016 so you know and that is still NOT true...

I agree the EU should require phone OEMs to update their damn phones. My argument is Google shouldn't and can't do that...
33.
by 01Michael10 10y ago
Yes, Google adds closed source bits just like any other OEM does and the only difference is Google updates their sit better but we blame them. My point is AOSP being open source means any OEM could base an OS on it and be fully open sourced

The platform is NOT sold. AOSP is open source... What OEMs do with it is up to them. I suppose you can produce this document? Common sense would dictate if Google could make OEMS provide updates they would already be doing that. Right?

by 01Michael10 10y ago
That don't have leverage... Google is already facing fines from the EU because of what they currently require from OEMs to use the Play Services. Trying to make OEMs accept Google updates is not in the cards.

by 01Michael10 10y ago
No! They absolutely can not! OS updates do not come via Play services... Why can't people understand that Android is open source? An Android OEM can (and does) modify their Android distribution anyway they like UNLIKE a Windows phone O

Android OEMs love it when people keep blaming Google for phones not being updated and as long as this happens this issue will never be addressed. Do you know how open source works? Google has no control over OEM phones or the carrier approv

Who supplies security updates for the "lifetime" of their product in your fantasy world? Three years is a good amount of time for security updates but could be extended to four years since people are keeping their phones longer th

Don't you mean Android phone OEMs and carriers? Google already updates their phones every month for three years which is long enough for a device most people replace or break within two years. Verizon isn't the only carrier of cou

What other people? People I actually know? I would know it's them (contact list/caller ID). It would still probably go to VM as I am not usually just sitting around waiting to answer a phone call. I will just call them back when

My phone never rings...

Huh? 99% of telemarketers don't leave a VM.

by 01Michael10 10y ago
Why?
48.
by 01Michael10 10y ago
What? Why would anyone answer an unrecognized number? I have no problem hanging up on a telemarketer but why let it even get that far? It's NOT ignoring your friends if you don't pick up the phone every time they call. Regardless,

I read your comments just fine but you weren't making sense but now you explained it. 200 tabs in 12 windows? Yeah, nobody cares your browser is crashing now. You can switch to Chrome and maybe it won't crash as much but it will u

It doesn't sound like you are doing anything much different than me except I don't use Facebook. I normally keep my browser open for weeks at a time and never break 2GB unless hit some crap website. Addons?

Memory issues? I have have never had any memory issues with Firefox and it's been almost crash free now for the last six releases. It's 2016 now so maybe it's time to upgrade your box and it's 4 GB of RAM. EDIT: How is F

I dunno, maybe they like their users to be able to play content on the web? People NOT being able to do that on Firefox would just speed up the conversations to Chrome. You know you can turn any CDM module off right?

by 01Michael10 10y ago
What? You were going to switch browsers because you were having problems using a beta or nightly version? I have an idea... Use the release version!

No, are you trolling? I was hardly the only one on this post who didn't get ads for that search. You are the first person to mention the mobile version of any browser so I did the same search with Chrome on Android using DDG and... Gee
