Why are minutes and texts still listed in phone service when everything is data?

Why are cellphone networks still a thing and not handled through wireless internet?

Why are smartphones still using a different operating system than desktop computers?

No doubt Google and Apple like the existing arrangement too; 30% cut of all revenue through their "Marketplaces" which are monopolies for Android and iOS. Pretty sure this is what Microsoft was trying to replicate on the desktop with Windows 11. I don't think it's possible to setup a new Android or iOS smartphone without a making a Google/Apple account in the process.

>Why are minutes and texts still listed in phone service when everything is data?
Because not everything is "data". Not all phones support VoLTE or Vo5g for example.

>Why are cellphone networks still a thing and not handled through wireless internet?
I don't know how you think this works but your wireless internet (if it ain't Wi-Fi) is using the cellphone network. And should you refer to the non-ip part, then again, not all devices support doing everything over ip. Legacy shit is also the reason a lot of networks still have 2g or something like that running.

>Why are smartphones still using a different operating system than desktop computers?
Because the operating systems are well adapted for their specific use case and trying to expand one onto another domain entirely is virtually impossible as the "synergy effects" are not sufficient to offset the plethora of downsides this entails.
Think of the catastrophe that was the windows phone. The best we can do nowadays is have android pretend it's a desktop os with a mouse and keyboard, but it's just not enough.

> how do I filter stuff if I don't know basic electronics?
You need to determine the frequency you want to operate on, the bandwidth you need and then enter this in a web based design system (plenty out there) and find the values for capacitors (you buy) and inductors (that you wind yourself) and just build the thing. Assume minimum 4 inductors.

Started fucking around and accidentally starting making a cross platform build tool for deploying web based applications to Android, Windows, and Linux. No apple products cuz I'm poor and can't test it.

Basically it just uses whatever native webview is on the platform and syncs with your web project.

Working on basic plugins for native APIs such as keystore, camera, file system, biometrics, etc. whatever
this means there is a javasript bridge that talks to the native API

Did I mention that it's all in C and only depends on c compiler, +( gradle and CMake for android builds) ?

What are the technological implications of building cross platform with C, HTML, and JavaScript with sprinkles of native code for mobile platforms?

React native basically is typescript and their weird markup templating language (jsx i think) for rendering components that are backed by native implementation on android/ios/windows/etc. it’s just “use the same elm style ui in the web and someone will do the hard work of doing ffi with native ui” sort of thing.

this is just using the browser, so it’ll eat memory and battery life like crazy (not like react also does not because it uses a JS engine that has garbage collection so you get janky UI)

Rust is actually a nice language to work in imo. If you dislike it for political reasons then you hate it for the wrong reason. Right wingers are have a retarded mindset where if something is even a little pozzed then you have to abandon it. Meanwhile lefties will infiltrate institutions with decades of traditional right wing views just to make it more left wing. That's how you lose.

If you dislike the language itself then that's ultimately personal, but it really is easy to learn for webdevs ironically.

Don't tell me you still write your code by hand?

Reminder of the following:

1. Google will merge ChromeOS and Android to form a FOSS Linux-based desktop OS that will be 100% free to download and use.

https://www.androidauthority.com/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092/

2. Windows will be severely affected by this new, totally free competitor and will bleed marketshare.

3. All existing Linux desktop environments will be totally outclassed by Google's top secret desktop UI and underlying OS. Even Linux users will give up on shit like Mint and just use Google's desktop for their daily driver OS.

2026 will finally be the year of the Linux desktop, and it will be because Google will do to desktops what they did to phones.

You know it's coming. Don't act like this was a surprise.

because android was historically written by white people, just like everything good in this world.
indians ruin everything they touch as their sole mission in life is to replace any non-indians under them by indians, chineses do the same, it's very well documented, look it up.
In the case of fagman, indians taking leadership positions lines up perfectly with the time these companies stopped making good products.

It's supposed to be easier because you can decouple state code naturally so you never end up with a huge blob of code handling all states.
From my experience, FSM in games like that don't work out at all because you will inevitably run into some of these issues:
>i need 2 or more states at once
>state A needs to access data from state B
>should I split state C into substates?
>should I subclass states?
>should I extract common logic/data back to the entity class?

I prefer switch statements with a couple of functions:
>one to set the next state
>one to update current state based on next state, and also execute any special logic based on current state and next state

Needing some advice on music players for Linux. Running Antergos. Installed a few, and so far the only viable option is Audacious, but it is missing some creature comforts that I got with foobar. Most importantly, I want one that will support some sort of convolver, since I have impulse waveforms for all of my cans. I am using a Schiit stack to play everything. Anyone have any recommended players?

Does anyone know of a way of transcoding mp4 to an APNG without writing the cICP chunk to it?
It's the default behavior of ffmpeg <6.0, but everything afterwards seems to always write this chunk, and that confuses some websites.

Conversely, if there's no built-in way of skipping and/or removing it using ffmpeg, are there any third-party tools that can remove it from the end file?
exiftool can't overwrite CICodePoints because that's a read-only tag it seems.

AI suggests manually setting
>-color_primaries
>-color_trc
>-colorspace
>-color_range
to "unknown", to the equivalent of sRGB and to all the other things, but while ffmpeg doesn't error out when those flags are provided, they never have any effect on the resulting file.

I’m an IT technician doing level 1 and 2 in UK schools. Sometimes I get the opportunity or the horror to do level 3 work. I want to specialise in something but not sure what would be the best pay and opportunity in the market. I’ve got some basic Microsoft certificates from when I was an apprentice, I believe those have expired as things have moved to Azure (vs onsite infra). I’ve got a science bachelor’s degree too.
What should I pursue? Any certificates I should aim for or topics/skills I should learn? Is AI taking over DevOps and platform engineering?

It’s a derivation of the work imo. My opinion’s correctness will be determined by upcoming lawsuits involving artists/music against these AI companies. The same ruling would also apply to derivatives of GPL licensed code. The only case where this wouldn’t apply is if the work wasn’t a derivative and it had never been trained on the work at all. Given the nature of token predictors, this situation would be unlikely, however.
