    Samsung is trying a new strategy and drumming up support and familiarity with its virtual rival to Siri and Alexa In order to avoid the buttfuck the bunker roleout Samsung did on their first failed assistant, Bixby (which was a disaster from day one and nobody liked).

    Will android phones ever act like the mini PC's that they were touted to be?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 03:26 AM PDT

    So while there are a ton of manufacturers peddling android devices, pretty much all of them have their own flavour of "skin" that they put on. Some are just very superficial while others do a number on the whole android system, sometimes going as far as messing up working items.

    Now the things is, if they were just shipping it with the devices, like how pre-builts come with a version bursting at the seam with bloatware, you could potentially have the option of just wiping the slate clean with a fresh install or a different OS. However, this is where the paths diverge and you get the whole bootloader and "security" mantra from the companies crying wolf. I mean yes, it's mighty nice of you to check shit in the background with safetynet and what not but in all honesty, a bank doesn't care if I'm accessing their website from an infected computer. So why should a phone be any different. Yes, you can give me an alert stating that device is unlocked but just breaking functionality on some apps altogether is ludicrous.

    Honestly, I feel like all these devices should go the way of the PC where you buy the hardware , then select the version of Android you like and drivers for your device get updated from a central repository. Make it modular and simple for the people. Most of the UI's and skins hardly add anything useful to the mix, but rather break some basic functionality like notifications or wakelocks etc, just in order to make the phone seem better than its hardware is.

    I've had the unfortunate incident where I installed a non-Chinese ROM on a Chinese phone and that tripped the safetynet, which in turn broke some much needed apps. I messed around with magisk but it did not fix the issue and in my utter frustration, I just relocked the bootloader, which has now bricked the device. Was it stupid on my part. Yes, and no two ways about it. Should it really be as big a problem where now I can't even recover the phone and I have a brand new one month old Moto brick? Definitely not. There should be some fail safes to recover the phones regardless. If this is to protect stolen phones from being used then guess what, that shit still happens across the globe and the only ones profiting are the companies. For the average Joe, they just get a phone and live with whatever policies the manufacturer wants to push down their throat. It's literally just compromising on what specs, UI, aftersales service (customer and updates) combination that you can live with, which given how much mid-range and top end phones go for nowadays, shouldn't really be the case.
