Emulators are what I miss from android. GBA has one of the best libraries of any console, plus there’s the custom rom scene. And I have this absurdly powerful phone that can’t run any of it.

There you go, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Thanks!

Wait, thats is very different from what I read back in the day. I know there was a point at, I dunno, android 5 where they started doing something different with java, but my impression was that android always ran a JVM of sorts. And frankly, given how it performs even on the highest-end devices, that was really easy to believe.

I guess I need to do some research now.

Interesting, I always thought it had to do with Android’s ungodly software stack which at some point involves, of all things, fucking java.

I’d settle for hiding photos in albums from recents, as that would tell me what I need to organise and don’t.

Could even flip them horizontally for extra spiciness.

No it wouldn’t. Phones aren’t cheap.

Hah, I only knew that name from Daisy 2.0, turns out is a whole rabbit hole!

Also PC companies are getting greedy as fuck and charging Apple prices while not delivering an Apple experience.

Sent from my iPhone, which I bought because Samsung decided to double their prices between the S9 and the S23, all the while expecting me to put up with the train wreck that is the Android app ecosystem.

It can even deal with basic algebra, it’s awesome. I can’t be fucked to work out this 16-var linear system, or even to write out the sympy to do it.

But guess who is?

I strongly believe that there are zero technical barriers to this.

But that would eat into Mac and iPad sales. Can’t have that.

Honestly? Sell me an iPhone that does that (behave like an M1 Mac when docked) and I’ll give you 3000£ for it without second thought.
