Curious: Is it the Exynos version (Rest of the world) or the Snapdragon version (US, China)?
In Android, browser, messaging app updates and many even system updates are delivered through Play store (long after system/OS updates have stopped for the phone), so attacks will have to be much more sophisticated.
In terms of Camera, Haptics, Construction material it probably isn't
YT wouldn't be YT if it was an independent company. Lack of competition in the field is a proof
This is not the reason for security patches taking too long to be released to certain phones; Google has a monthly cadence of releasing security patches and zero-days have rarely (I can't remember a case of that happening but maybe it has happened) missed do you have a source for it?
> Oooh, ooh, no that's not my favorite thing, my favorite thing is how each cellular company gets to put their own bloatware on top of the bloatware that each phone manufacturer gets to add to it.
There are unlocked phones available and honestly this problem is mostly a US problem. Rest of the world isn't in the iron fists of their carriers.
> Oh wait, maybe it's patch support ending for new phones 3 years after they were released.
You can vote with your wallet and choose vendors where this is not the case; Google, Samsung and Recently OnePlus offer 5 years of security updates.
Also I have had this issue with Macbook Pro 15 (2019), so it can't be guaranteed every-time for any OS I guess; not sure of the reason though. To me closing the lid should take preference over everything.
There is stc which is for now just a PoC (from the developer of swc who is on Vercel's payroll) which is shifting from Go to Rust
edit: Typo
> And that’s directly tied to Chromecast’s absence on Amazon.com. Since there’s no easy way of watching Prime Video, Amazon won’t sell it. But it’s Amazon’s own fault that Prime Video doesn’t work with Chromecast. Amazon has the power to make it happen. What’s Google supposed to do in this scenario?
> Amazon’s decision to remove popular, well-liked products from its store over this spat — or never sell them to begin with — is an ugly example of the company throwing its weight and power around. No one should be surprised that Google is crying foul. Is the company under any obligation to sell Google Home — the chief rival to its own Echo? Of course not. Them’s the breaks. But the Chromecast situation is troubling, and Amazon’s recent halting of sales for certain Nest hardware (with no real explanation) seems juvenile. Prime shipping is still a very powerful incentive, and Amazon is well aware of that.

Amazon is nowhere near innocent in their feud
You can choose to pay for storage and keep original quality uploads?
Google offers both options, though? It used to offer free - unlimited "high quality" photos, which they have now stopped.
If you pay for storage, you can choose to store original quality images in the first place, and delete them from device
Thank you mods for all the hard work, and all the people here to make their work a little easier than it could have been
