Hey don’t pretend that you didn’t migrate as well.
Hey but that wouldn’t make money to companies like google ot samsung.
Your smartphone is itself a security hole. It has 10+ sensors on it nowadays and who knows how many apps lying about their privacy promises.
There’s no such thing as perfect security… unless your application is trivial and doesn’t do very much. Android is designed to collect data from the dozen plus sensors on your phone in order to get money from app vendors to push ads.
Android as a system has too many moving parts. You not only have to worry about various device manufacturers compiling their own versions of AOSP, you have to worry about how manufacturers package unremovable apps like facebook, candy crush, etc.
The backdoor is actually the front door… and it is app vendors who are actually the customers… not the phone owners.
The main reason smartphones took off is that business people were salivating at an always on, always listening device with 10+ sensors collecting data on this whole world. And we pay for the privilege.
Android has to be designed to collect data and show you ads. Is it really surprising that security here is just security against free access to this data from outsiders… and not caring about your security?
Hey I was just trying to make a joke… but looks like I didn’t consider the wording too carefully.
More like stock buybacks
As a developer this question is hilarious to me
This argument is oft repeated but It’s Bullshit. If it wasn’t valuable why is Spez okay with it?
Stock grants not being direct Income isn’t clickbait nonsense. It’s actually DELIBERATE: Spez doesn’t pay income taxes on a majority of his income. Capital gains tax has a lot of loopholes that can be exploited.
This just gives spez more money and he can cash out in the IPO.
Its convenient. Not everyone wants to waste their life centering divs you know
