  1. Re: Planned Obsolescence on Some Android Device Makers Are Lying About Security Patch Updates (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    I was given an S4 and installed LineageOS Oreo on it, and it works really well.

    I'm running a hand-me-down Note 4 with the excellent Resurrection Remix 7.1 ROM on it, undervolted and underclocked, rooted with Magisk and it's wonderful.

    I saw yesterday that Resurrection Remix has released a new Oreo version that supports the Note 4, which I will get around to installing and trying at some point.

    I've inherited a hand-me-down Note 4 and am currently running the wonderful Resurrection Remix ROM (7.1),undervolted and underclocked, rooted with Magisk, and it's a fantastic phone IME.

    I've just noticed yesterday that Resurrection Remix has just released a new Oreo version for phones that include the Note 4,so it looks like it's still got some life left in this model yet.

  4. Re:Cant be done "right". on The Billions In Mobile Ad Money Nobody Can Grab · · Score: 1

    But hasn't it been shown that simple, relevantly-tagetted text ads like Google Ads have been shown to be very effective? These hardly use any screen estate, and the screens on most portable 'smart' devices are actually getting quite large and hi-res and can display quite a lot compared to mobiles of old.

    Also, ads that use recognisable, simple, company logos would work on these devices - think 'brought to you by AT&T' with their nifty death-star icon tucked somewhere unobtrusive.

    I don't think it's undo-able - I reckon it just needs a bit of a paradigm-shift in thinking and design away from how things are done on the Web, which is only really now becoming anything like a 'mature' market.
