    Naomi Wu shows up at the UMIDIGI office after being told the kernel sources for the UMIDIGI F2 can only be obtained in-person

    It's all fun and games until Naomi Wu shows up at your office to get GPLv2 compliance😎

    Context

    Basically a user on Twitter (Patrycja) tried to request the kernel sources for the UMIDIGI F2 from UMIDIGI. Someone from UMIDIGI replied with this:

    Ben commented:

    Hi,

    You can request the shareable source codes (most of them are not free and owned by MediaTek) at our Shenzhen office (only Chinese speaking) in working hours.

    The address is:

    405-407 Jinqi Zhigu Building , 4/F , 1 Tangling Road , Nanshan District , Shenzhen City, P.R.C

    Kind regards, Ben - UMIDIGI

    Ben changed the status to Waiting for customer.

    Another user on Twitter (Mika Feiler) tagged Naomi Wu who took the initiative to visit the UMIDIGI office in Shenzhen to request the kernel sources.

    For the unaware, all Android OEMs are obligated by the General Public License (GPLv2) to provide any modifications to the Linux kernel. This is necessary for community development (custom recoveries, kernels, ROMs, etc.)

    This XDA article (Archived link courtesy of /u/ladfrombrad) explains it better than I ever could

    Google was signing with smartphone manufacturers, breaking down their structure and who signed on. This unredacted graf shows that telcos get up to 25% of Google's app sales to keep them from developing rival app stores on the smartphones they sell and service.

    PSA: Screenshot in Samsung Web saves the URL of the page

    Posted: 20 Aug 2021 12:31 PM PDT

    So, I just made a screenshot of a web page and went to send it to a friend and I got a prompt to choose whether to share as a link or an image. Also in gallery you have a button to take you to the website you took the screenshot from. Nice! How long do you think it will take to get this to vanilla Android? 😁
