The most essential part of making Android somewhat usable. It only took 15 years for them to get it right, but at least all their employees can write a stack function on a white board in 5 minutes..

The latest phone has 64 & 32 bit libraries in parallel. All raspberri pys from the 3 on can run in 64 bit mode. The 64 bit version of raspian is hidden

No-one knows exactly how much works. It's apparently where Linux was 20 years ago in 64 bit support. The lion kingdom seems to remember moving permanently to 64 bits in 2005, with a dual opteron. Before then, it was briefly 64 bit with an alpha. The rest was always 32 bits on a dual pentium 3 & dual athlon. The memory limitations grew as more photos were processed in RAM & video resolutions grew. Programs would run out of virtual memory before the physical memory ran out, because they couldn't address enough bits.

64 bits seems essential for video editing on a raspberry pi, but it's going to be slower because more memory has to move around. 32 bit video editing would only be useful for nostalgia.

Writing every new app requires figuring out all the current hoops the corporations require.

It seems the goog requires all the launcher icons to be circles, in order to resemble the company logo. Launcher icons that are still square get miniaturized to fit in an O. Badges got turned into a 2nd O to spell Oo. The lion kingdom still hopes the waste of space of the last 5 years will give way to B shaped icons to resemble the alphabet logo. There's almost no point in choosing an icon, since the corporation exerts total control over what you're allowed to draw.

Another thing lions noticed is since Apple mandated all phones to have a notch, you can't draw on the top & bottom of the screen in portrait mode & the screens all have rounded corners from a 1950's TV. The screen in the lion kingdom phone is actually rectangular with the corners masked out. The official iphone has a physically rounded screen.

There's some limited ability to draw in the top & bottom areas in landscape mode.

The only way they're allowing the top bar in landscape mode is by taking up the center area & having the notch area empty. Surely they could have rotated the icons the same way they rotated the icons in the bottom bar. What the lion kingdom wants would require running in portrait mode while manually drawing the entire interface in landscape mode.

It's all rather silly, since in 3 months apple will require all phones to be square again.

The moment Rossguy reveals he's going to hit $1 million by age 40 is when lions think about their choices. He never sounds very successful, but merely average gootubers make at least $10,000/year on adsense, he probably made better stonk picks than lions, & most of all, he made money continuously since high school as an entrepreneur. The lion kingdom was anything but continuously employed as a corporate employee & of course lost a lot of money & time on education. The 7 years spent working on useless degrees instead of making money are the difference between millionaire before 40 & never.
