I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!
Yup. It could also be hardware failure in the sense of a flakey power button. Either way, it’s probably not people intentionally pushing the power button a lot
While not great as a general file manager, I use this app to launch into the hidden, built in file manager in Android. The major benefit is that it can access apps’ data directories. Every other file manager is blocked from that (at least without root).
My view on this, at least for higher end devices like laptops, tablets, phones, etc, is that the OS must be secure to threats already because they all support cellular connections, where you will not have a home router to block incoming connections. IOT is, of course, a different story.
The other thing we should all hopefully know is that a lot of threat vectors don’t involve incoming connections. Browser zero days, for example.
BTW, all that said, I still don’t see why Xfinity can’t just provide a better set of knobs on the firewall.
Oh, I had missed that. That’s great!
I assume you mean S24 (because we already have Snapdragon S23 in the US). My concern, admittedly not something I’ve done a lot of research on, is that if Samsung was using Snapdragon for the CDMA or 2G/3G modem, that might no longer be a concern with the networks aggressively shutting down those older technologies. I’m not sure if that was the only thing holding Samsung back from Exynos SoC in the US, or if overall performance or other concerns were factors. However the prevalence of Exynos in the EU shows that Samsung considers it worthy of the Galaxy brand.
Hoping for snapdragon s24, at least in the US!
I have a Galaxy S24 with the gesture bar hidden. It lets me do circle to search by holding down where the gesture bar would be.
