  • 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.


  • 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:

    Title: Community & our shared dreams for the Filipino youth
    Subtitle: 2024 Fr. Antonio Gonzalez, O.P. Memorial Lecture

    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…)
