Interesting, I might give those rendering APIs a shot. Thanks for the tips. I did try requestUnbufferedDispatch though, and it didn't make a noticeable visual difference, but I need to measure it to make sure.

They both have much higher tap latency due to the Android graphics stack. The difference in drag/scroll latency feels even higher, but I don't know how to measure that quantitatively without special equipment. Example of ROG Phone

It's worth noting that it's still possible to achieve low latency with modern hardware and even software to some extent, even with all the input filtering on touchscreens. The modern GPU rendering stack won't be able to do it

The final update comes in December 2020; they just skipped November. You'll have to upgrade or switch to a custom ROM after that for continued support — it's still a fairly solid phone if not for the lack of updates.

Fortunately, this is not a readily accessible "score" to all apps and is (currently) only used by select apps as a boolean "passing SafetyNet" check. But Google has been starting to take it seriously recently unlike befo

The problem is that updating Android this way doesn't fix the prevalent security issues in proprietary firmware from Qualcomm, e.g. the QualPwn vulnerabilities [1] from that allows remote takeover of the modem. Countless vulnerabilitie

The hosting provider can still monitor egress, which is what's more valuable anyway. Hypothetically, they could also snapshot the RAM for deferred analysis, though that's usually more trouble than it's worth. You have to trus

I've heard that many ISPs in India have bad routing, which probably explains what you experienced. That's why services with local servers in India (e.g. Cloudflare WARP+) can have the same effect.

That looks amazing, nice job! I was trying to create a seb dashboard with several graphs each with a few hundred data points recently. None of the libraries felt "snappy" on a mobile device in terms of load time or responsivity. I

I wish replacements like these would be practical, but the problem is that they all have flaws for many use cases, while Zoom just works. Jitsi Meet is the best I've found so far, but even that has some issues — I did a quick test with
