Riiiight. iPhone is not risky, but small scale Graviton production by Amazon is. Gotcha.

Neither of those were risky in the sense of "if it fails, it takes the company with them".

Ah yes. Sci fi movies that have to show flashy special effects that would never work this way in real life: from headache-inducing colors and animation to having to hold your hands up fir an extended period of time to do the simplest things

> Amazon, Google, and Meta all seem to make riskier bets, too. What are those risky bets I wonder? Meanwhile Apple rolled out a completely custom CPU and transitioned all its hardware to it.

No, it's not always faster. IIRC in a recent stream the author of Solid showed that it's hard to beat a proper VDOM implementation when you have 1000s of elements. And most naive non-VDOM implementations will probably lose to a

Original Thunderbolt was by Intel, then Apple came up with how to use it with MiniDP connector. There definitely was more collaboration, but as a simple overview this works. In 2019 Intel donated the spec royalty free to USB-IF

Define "open". Thunderbolt 3 spec was released to USB-IF in 2019 as a royalty-free standard.

No idea why you're being downvoted when it's true.

They did. It's called Thunderbolt. Then they were literally the first to go all in on USB-C in their laptops. And the world (well, HN) loudly complained every single time .

Indeed it was speculation. So I asked you basically what your speculation was based on. Because we have a platform where no such speculation is necessary: Android is the dominant mobile platform, it already has all the capabilities you spec

YMMV but I want a chronological view in gallery, and a powerful search. When I go back in time, same. "On this day X years ago" is fun, but very optional. Just random things presented to you... That is just weird.

So the answer is: despite Android having all this, there's literally nothing to show fir this "might, if, maybe" etc. wishful thinking.

I don't have a ROM to import, but it does look quite nice in what's available. Definitely much better than what major companies put out :)

Android exists. Has 70% market share. Has all those native capabilities you crave. So. Again and again I ask the same simple question: have all the things you're talking about happened there?

They are already supposedly possible on Android. So?

by dmitriid 4y ago
I'm not talking about the OS. Google's apps conveniently forget the choice on iOS. Less aggressively in the past few months (probably caught by Apple), but still.

So many words to avoid the hard truth: web apps suck, and "we might have closer-to-native experiences" is bullshit. Because, see my comment on Android which already supposedly has these "close to native experiences".
