Attached: 3 images Wow - Google may be planning to ship a major kernel upgrade to all its (Tensor-powered) Pixel phones! Current Tensor Pixels may be upgraded to Linux kernel 6.1, according to comments left on an AOSP patch by Google engineers. Tensor G1 and G2 Pixels currently run on Linux 5.10, while Tensor G3 Pixels run on Linux 5.15. Tensor G4 Pixels (ie. the Pixel 9 series) may release with Linux kernel 5.15 but will also be upgraded to Linux 6.1. (1/2)

Good news for android overall. Hopefully, this could be extended to other OEMs by 2025 and not be optional like virtual A&Bs when it arrives.

(Meanwhile, my current smartphone running 4.19… )

    So we should, what, stop coming up with new ideas because someone might use them for bad things? I guess we should stop making new kitchen knives because you could use them for murder?

      No, we should legislate (and then actually enforce that legislation).

      I really don’t see any other way to reign in the unchecked capitalism at this point.

        What exactly should we be legislating here? We’re talking about an extension to existing technology that you’re already familiar with - Bluetooth - to allow a one-to-many relationship instead of one-to-one.

        There’s already plenty of legislation around incorrect use of radio spectrum, harvesting user data, etc. So what legislation are you referring to that’s missing?
