Windows 10 and Android are ownage and have never had a single bug or error. If you're having problems on either of those OS it means you're holding it wrong. Meanwhile my murdered-out Mac Mini had a router plugged into it from some sort of test thing from tech at work and it somehow thought it turned into a time capsule or something (from the CONSOLE LOG) and lagged out bigly trying to open some sorta backup sesh with it and hosed up my show. Bravo to OSX the biggest piece of poo poo OS on earth,

Home screen

what if you had come directly from another app though? does the "back" button take you to the home screen or to the previous app?

I'm hosed up and don't understand but if you are on the home screen the back button doesn't do anything
say you're reading the news then.. all of a sudden boom:

you get a notification and you switch to another popular app, immediately see a snap with a titty. you nod. then you press the back button.

does it take you to

a. home screen
b. the news

anroid is a blackberry clone with touch still bolted on after all these years. i imagine google wants to replace anroid entirely, but google doesnt have the drive nor the coherence required to build something better

the iPad 3 had a slight, but noticeable display lag that was similar to the rolling shutter effect seen on digital cameras. the LCD controller or whatever couldn't update the screen fast enough. so if you scrolled in landscape orientation stuff would get a slight rolling shutter trapezoidal effect like you see when panning quickly on a GoPro. or scrolling in portrait orientation would briefly give a slight squish/stretch effect.

for the anroid phone in question, its possible that rotating the device makes it fall off some optimized, direct framebuffer-to-screen drawing path, and having to go through the window compositor (so the screen contents can be rotated 180 degrees) introduces a noticeable lag. (as if anroid has an optimized drawing path :laugh:)

or maybe it's too slow to handle having to invert the touch input coordinates. :haw:

who cares tho because v:shobon:v anroid is bad v:shobon:v

I've used the iPad 3 for years and never experienced that. calling horse poo poo

airpods are a fantastic product, but really in general wireless headphones are amazing.

i have been waiting decades for a small, tangle-free, snag-free pair of headphones with great battery life. and now they exist. embrace the future.

i'll show what i'm talking about. here's the standard android OS buttons that you can access inside all apps:



the right one opens the task-switcher interface, similar to alt-tab on a computer or double-tapping the home key on iOS. middle one is the home key, which takes you back to your home screen. left one is the "back" key, which backs you out to the previous screen of your app, or like if you're in the camera app because another app launched it to take a photo, it will take you back to the first app. now let's look at samsung:



i read an article saying that samsung lets you change it so the back button is on the left, but holy crap it is so silly that google allows such a basic UI idea to be "customized" in such a silly way

the soft buttons are the most hilarious failure of android UI that somehow still persists to this day, even on standroid
