Good news for android overall. Hopefully, this could be extended to other OEMs by 2025 and not be optional like virtual A&Bs when it arrives.

(Meanwhile, my current smartphone running 4.19… )

    Huh? Why not? Being able to stream multiple languages in a single cinema showing or supporting those with hearing difficulties is amazing.

    Even going to clubs and from the outside it looks like a bunch of weirdos dancing to themselves is amazing.

      This comment is hinged entirely on the assumption that a(more like many) for-profit business won’t immediately make it a money printer to make line go up, sure the tech may be amazing and huge for accessibility but I see it getting almost immediately milked like most other new technologies.

        So we should, what, stop coming up with new ideas because someone might use them for bad things? I guess we should stop making new kitchen knives because you could use them for murder?

          No, we should legislate (and then actually enforce that legislation).

          I really don’t see any other way to reign in the unchecked capitalism at this point.

            What exactly should we be legislating here? We’re talking about an extension to existing technology that you’re already familiar with - Bluetooth - to allow a one-to-many relationship instead of one-to-one.

            There’s already plenty of legislation around incorrect use of radio spectrum, harvesting user data, etc. So what legislation are you referring to that’s missing?
