Android Authority 's TL;DR (conveniently) doesn't mention the actual downside to this update. But it's fine imo, since this was actually a pretty insightful read.

My TL;DR:

• Google's ARR/VRR implementation is hopefully more compatible with the GKI system vs. current per-vendor, per-device implementations
• To add this support, vendors must implement v3 of the Hardware Composer and Hardware Abstraction Layer APIs.
• That means also undoing existing kernel changes for their devices and retooling it to support HWC & HAL v3. Lots of engineering time.
• This solution still isnt perfect. There's a notable limitation in something called the "panel's Tearing Effect", but im not an expert at displays so CTRL+F it for the paragraph in question.

The type of person to rock Calibre would probably have airplane mode on constantly. Mine's been that way and I still have epubs sideloaded on my Kindle from when I first got mine all those years ago.

I'm not aware of good posting conventions, so I posted this without a timestamp. However, for people without SponsorBlock installed, I suggest you jump ahead to the 36 minute, 45 second mark.

Here's also some more verbose details:

EDIT: I've edited the post with a different, more streamlined title (imo) and added the timestamp. Again, if this is unwelcome behavior, please dm me or reply to this comment.

(I don't use lemmy very often, so please be patient if I don't reply... for days....)

I didn't take my time to read this with my full attention, I'll be the first to admit; But I think this article is being way too dramatic and paranoid. And thats coming from somebody certifiably overdramatic and paranoid.

EDIT: to add, it does have some reference to past and current events in the technology space but it quickly devolves into baseless, referenceless speculation.

Also, is this just a "stole this topic from xyz social media" article but from Hacker News instead of Reddit?
