I have literally spent more time trying to push my app to my phone and dealing with worthless strag frick error messages (Literally the only message the phone would give me the user, from the ui, was "apk failed to install", fricking cancer)
And god forbid there be some way ti just force push the fricking thing onto the phone certs and sigs be darned
Every cellphone made after 04 was a mistake

I still use a phone from 2014, I refuse to buy a new one. Fricking things haven't improved a darn in terms of responsiveness, boot time or UX but they need 4 - 16 times the ram.

FRICKING JEWGLE AND EVERY OTHER COMPANY THAT MAKES APPS KEEP UPDATING THEM AND ADDING MORE USELESS JS BLOAT SO MY PHONE IS NOW MUCH """SLOWER""" THAN IT WAS YEARS AGO EVEN THOUGH IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME
(also my phone model isn't supported by LineageOS and I'm too lazy to install a new AOSP rom and try to remove all the garbage considering I only use my phone like 20 minutes a day at most)

Are you r-slurred? Phones have absolutely gotten faster boot times since 2014.
2014 Androids were using shitty EMMC, UFS has become extremely fast.
There's more memory now but OEMs like Samsung have actually reduced system memory on the newest S series models.
More memory is always better, so it's incredibly stupid.

The storage interface on phones is legitimately impressive, Apple moreso, but Android OEMs are very good too.
Apple implemented NVME storage on the iPhone 6s in 2015 (went up to 128GB years before Android too). It used the same proprietary memory controller the Macbook line used for Apple's NVME solution. Nobody had a faster controller until Samsung LSI fabbed 970 Pro NVME drive.
Samsung LSI started selling UFS in 2015. It was really only Samsung mobile and some Meizu devices in 2015 that used it, but from 2016 onwards every Android flagship had UFS. UFS 4 is nearly as fast as Apple's current NVME solution.
Performance isn't an issue for phones. Your average flagship is more powerful than most people's work laptops.
I agree that Android development is a pain in the butt, but the hardware platform isn't the issue.

Samsung actually had Linux on Dex a few years ago. It was awesome. You docked your phone with its type c port (Samsung is a full USB 3.1 with video out over display port alt mode) ran Dex and could spin up Linux containers.
It had plenty of compute for it too. Qualcomm flagship SoCs lag behind Apple on CPU performance (often by a few years) but the Snapdragon 845 and 855 platforms it ran on still had very fast CPUs. The highest end Samsung phones had 12GB of memory then, so it ran perfectly well.
They deprecated it with Android 10. It was such an amazing power user feature. If you've really skipped out on phones since 2014 you've missed a ton of cool hardware.

I have to make stuff for Tizen smart tvs and it is pain. The majority of customer issues we have had since I started this job involve the stupid smart TVs which aren't even the main focus of our product.

Is it still (if it ever was) all in pure C? Last I heard someone talk about Tizen dev—like, 2015—it involved mapping shared memory at specific addresses and exchanging pointers through files

So actually what I have to work with is kind of the opposite. They have an option for webapps and whoever came before me decided to make it in raw html/js. We also have to support tvs going back to like the 2016 release of Tizen so the version of js they support is very old at this point.

That sounds like heck. There's so many shitty 3rd world TVs out there. Do they actually put high priorities on these issues?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Luckily we only have to support Samsung Tizen smart TVs for now but marketing/the product owner wants us to support more soon.
And yeah they put high priority on these issues because we make large multi-year contracts with a few customers. So if a customer bought a few hundred smart tvs we cant just tell them to get different hardware.
