I don't agree with the conclusion that they should just have bought more AI chips

Honestly, the downfall of Apple would be good news in my book.

I know Google is not the greatest about it, but at least on Android, you can install third party app stores and custom operating systems.

Yes, let’s all cheer for a monopoly. That always works out well.

I would rather have Linux phones, but while those exist, they are not mainstream and ready quite yet.

So, custom Android, such as Lineage or Graphene, is about the closest we can get for now.

Graphene is half dead now that Google stopped releasing drivers. They depended pretty heavily on the pixel drivers coming out in the AOSP source.

They've just been deprecated to doing it the same way that every other custom operating system has been doing it for a long time. It makes it slower, but it doesn't make it impossible.

If these were seats on a plane, they got bumped from first class down to coach at the very back. They'll still get there. They just won't have the nice leg room and the extra peanuts.

Or, like, you know, they got bumped and it’s get a hotel or fly another airline.
