>Installing Windows on actual hardware and not just running a VM with virGL.


This isn't the first time I've heard this complaint.


> Google needs to support their own phone past three years

It's not really Google's choice. Qualcomm gives up on their SOCs pretty quickly and unlike on Linux Android's license doesn't force them to publish driver sources.


You don't think Google could demand driver sources for the harware they use or use hardware with driver sources available? It is their choice.


Sure they could but they wouldn't get them. Not for release and without that they are useless.


And how many more years did they give people on the Google SOC?


People who argue Android is superior to PMOS take note.


>We are currently only aware of one user report related to the occurrence of this bug.

I've gotten emails from people asking for help hosting image albums. I'd be shocked if their end goal wasn't hosting CP. (I rejected it of course.)


Do not run closed consumer software ever.


Wait 'til you hear about the baseband on your phone.


Well, I've found and read the source for the DSP part. The small OS on the modem processor on my current phone actually is open source, and hardly use the modem anyway since I've switched to VOIP for voice and SMS/MMS.


Some of us feel the same way about the positions of the democrat party.


By "some of us", do you mean "some of us Liberty University grads"?


Whatsapp is just signal 10 years from now, I'd rather move the world to something not controlled by one company like XMPP.


No.

That would take value add away from apple et all.

Install Xorg.
