Soldier of Fortran posted:

oh, ok. that's a bit less bad. aren't sequential & random reads the thing emmc controllers are usually really good at, though?

basically, to make the larger flash chips possible they try to cram more bits into each flash cell. this means they're slower and more prone to error.

it's all large emmc chips they all suck, apple is feeling it with the 128gb devices:

nokia's new tablet is an x86 android device

do any goog market games work on x86

in theory, yeah. it's all java and in andriod runtime (default on 5.0) it's all compiled aot during installation.

if xcom runs then it's fine. i would laff heartily if a game originally developed for x86 pcs didn't run on an x86 tablet.

wait isn't nokia a microsoft shell now? why aren't they making the nokia lumia surface 4 rt?

google made it so bloatware apps are uninstallable in android loli

so the carriers are now installing system level apps that automatically reinstall the bloatware every reboot which because android will be all the drat time. bonus: they use whatever data connection is available including the (presumably per GB metered) cellular connection.

the best thing apple ever did was to hold the line on carrier apps.
