The hits for Android keep coming from the tech community. Here’s another one from Ars Technica relating to Androids broken update model in which NOBODY is really responsible to get critical security updates pushed out to users who are vulnerable to zero day exploits. . . especially for those users of older versions of Android.
Well, now, let's not get completely freaked out by this.
Dayglored says, "Never underestimate the tolerance of the consuming public for crap."
Hell, most of the time the public SEEKS crap. Witness the current Administration. But I digress...
There will be more and more Zero Day exploits, and my prediction is people will just put up with them. Over and over.
They're mostly freakin' SHEEP. They are so used to crap they no longer care. They'll just put up with it. And the Android ecosystem will continue meandering along in its fragmented, diffuse fashion.
Is that a "solution"? Of sorts. Not a pretty one, certainly not a clean one, but I'll put money on it coming to pass.
If my Android tablet hadn’t already gone toes-up, I’d be upset about this. :’) One of the warehouse clubs has prev-gen iPad minis for something like $220, if I had the cash I’d probably replace the smoking pile of Android tablet with the mini.
Fragmentation. It’s always been known to be the issue for Android. I think the plan is to worry about it later while it takes over the market with”free”.
The plan is probably two users to throw away the old phones and tablets.
