Google says the new “Platform and Devices” team will let it move faster.
…guaranteed to create some sort of manifest V5 bullshit. Ads with root access or some terrifyingly stupid innovation.

Where does Magenta fit into all of this? Google is so damn big, yet produces seemingly little (that survives). I don’t think their left hand knows what the right is doing even though this move seems like it’s trying to help.
I think twenty years from now they’ll teach how they threw 100s of billions they got from search down a hole and came out with nothing but acquisitions, sharing their servers (GCP) and a Linux based OS.

Hopefully good for tensor chip development and unifying the OS. Desktop on my android phone would be great, it’s got more RAM than one of my laptops.

Man if they would just bake a competent desktop into android then they would instantly fix the chicken-and-egg problem with desktop arm

So Google wants out of the market. Gotcha.

And it will only result in something bad for the consumers, just imagine the guys behind the bad changes on chromium now doing the same on the rest…
