I think "Homeland" had a plotline with online misinformation farms at some point. That's all I can think of

For anyone curious, the preview image contains this link

The trace seems to be part of the request. It's only using digits to encode; I wonder why not at least base64

I like to do a little karate chop

These look a lot like iOS status icons, but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure

I miss the old split screen feature. It was far more useful compared to the new "app pairs" thing. Mostly happy (edit: that nothing has changed) otherwise

For real I was going to say this reads like a Google marketing AstroTurf. Just watched the linked MKBHD video and it's not unfair; definitely not "weird"

I saw this coming when GPM shutdown and podcasts migrated to Google Podcasts. The GPM podcasts were already bugged before that due to lack of attention. Very happy I bailed out for AntennaPod way back then!

I asked for extensions but it's pretty annoying to have to dust off my older published apps (which work just fine) and port to API 34. One down, three to go

It took a lot of work to get PC parts to become interoperable. There's all kinds of special negotiations that happen at boot to discover the state of hardware. There are standard drivers for most peripherals

Mobile devices aren't expected to change hardware so everything is hard-coded into the ROM. No discovery protocols are supported. Standardized drivers make it hard to ship new features or squeeze every last bit of performance so no effort goes into making them
