No, especially in this context I strongly disagree. Chromium especially when it comes to JS V8 is often faster. Not an issue when your phone is modern and fast but with Android 7 you are looking at a lot of first generation of 64 bit phones (Snapdragon 810, 808, 625, ...) and even some late 32 bit phones (Snapdragon 801, 805,...). Phones that need all the help they can get to squeeze water from stones.

However still hats off to mozilla for supporting Android 5 and 6. This way they keep a lot more phones somewhat viable, even if its not the fastest browser.

Not just small phones actually big phones as well. Remember the Huawei P8 Max, Sony Xperia Z Ultra or Mate 20X?

Phones these days only seem to exist between 6" and 6.8".

not to mention that you have all the dotnet ecosystem at your fingertips. Wanna write a WPF application? Go ahead. You want to use ML.net? A bit clunky but doable.

I get it, but he explicitly mentioned arm already, hence I implied Risc V

I got the cheapest case and cheapest motherboard twice when building a PC. Never had any issues.

because it is. Also why Risc V?

If been thinking about buying a Macbook but I don't wanna commit a 1000$+ for a Laptop with an OS I have never used and I'm not sure how much I will like using it.

I don't get why they can't make a M1 based Macbook SE for 600$. The 300$ iPad for example is what got me into checking out iOS.

Ahoi there

We live in a democracy

my bad

Of course, everyone in the military is perfectly stable non-violent person with no extreme views and opinions.

From what I get and I only have a very basic understanding of Graphics APIs is that DX12 puts much more respobsibility on the developer which raises the performance peak one can achieve but it also lowers the floor of performance when you don't properly optimize code.

I see real chance that this is Civil War 2 in the making.

Ha, suck on that!

A tablet isn't a work device its first and foremost a consumption device.

Gugar

My first phone was the 2011 Galaxy Ace with more RAM than usable storage.

ok that is wild! thanks!

That isn't an issue anymore really. You can flash GSIs (Generic System Images) if your device supports it and many never MediaTek phones and tablets do. I have done this twice now and it works ok-ish!

Depends, if your phone has a Mediatek SoC this tool worked great for me : https://xdaforums.com/t/backup-full-firmware-rom-of-any-mediatek-device-using-mtk-client-oppo-reno6-5g-mt6877.4406069/

Keep in mind that this is super low level and carries with it a risk of bricking your phone.
