I would argue it still is, because I am sure most Android apps still supports Android 9. Google is also much more serious about backward compatibility than Apple, and go a long way to make sure that Android APIs has backwards compatibility

No it is not. A Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 for example is still cheaper than the newly announced iPad (US$399) and uses a much more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 CPU. A14 is still 1.5~2x[1] faster than this CPU, but using a really low budget CPU fo

I didn't mean to imply this. I consider most router hardware embedded, but they includes CPUs. It is just that they're CPUs that you would generally consider embedded (like a SoC). And BTW, my reply was mostly because of the conte

This certainly doesn't look like a embedded device though: > The reference hardware platform is the PC Engines™ apu2c4 system board. It features a 1 GHz quad core amd64 CPU, 4 GB of RAM, 3 Ethernet ports and a DB9 serial port.

For me the example printing `1` makes sense because I think `let` as being something immutable, so I wouldn't expect `setv` to mutate that variable (would expect either a compiler error or the introduction of a new local variable). But

It is definitively not. I mean, Bluetooth is unreliable, but what happens in most of my other devices is a small 1~2 seconds gap in the sound. On macOS it simply stops working until I reconnect my device.

This comment is strange because the only OS that I never had serious issues with Bluetooth is Linux, specially after migrating to PipeWire. Windows always had some strange driver that were hit or miss depending of the dongle. However macOS

Prevention generally is better than cure. And it is not like scientists are not researching for alternative treatments, it is just that unless they got some positive result the media will not announce it.
