I don’t agree with the conclusion that they should just have bought more AI chips

    I would rather have Linux phones, but while those exist, they are not mainstream and ready quite yet.

    So, custom Android, such as Lineage or Graphene, is about the closest we can get for now.

      Graphene is half dead now that Google stopped releasing drivers. They depended pretty heavily on the pixel drivers coming out in the AOSP source.

        They’ve just been deprecated to doing it the same way that every other custom operating system has been doing it for a long time. It makes it slower, but it doesn’t make it impossible.

        If these were seats on a plane, they got bumped from first class down to coach at the very back. They’ll still get there. They just won’t have the nice leg room and the extra peanuts.

          So what you’re saying is that they’re like one of two women in a lesbian Japanese scat film, like, they’re going to get paid but where they used to be the woman taking a shit on the other woman’s mouth, now they’re the ones whose mouths are getting shat on?
