I know that was meant to be snarky, but you do have a point. It's not just Google either...there are so many software components that become the new hotness every year, then six months later they're abandoned for even newer hotness. How many hundreds of JavaScript frameworks are out there? CMS platforms? Continuous integration tools? Whole languages? It's hard to keep up because once you work on one of these and they're abandoned, it's hard to find support. As a result, there's a constant series of 180 degr
And thus why I always love the constant bitching about the classic LAMP stack here on Slashdot. Yeeeup, this is what I work with in my day job. Yeeeup, this has been what I've worked with for a decade now. Yes, I'll continue to use it, too. Yes, it has its flaws, but it is extremely well supported, and has a very clear support and development structure moving forward for the next 10 years.
Despite a blinding array of talent that works for the organization, this [slashdot.org] is the architecture for multimedia that they produced:
Don't start me on Stagefright and Mediaserver, I could rant for 2 or 3 hours non-stop! Seriously, the code over there is crap, and has insane concepts, like aborting the whole mediaserver (and all related media decoding of all other applications running at the same time), when it parses a file with attributes it does not know, instead of skipping the file. We discovered some issues in Stagefright (busy loops, device reboots, mediaserver crashes) quite early, but we never thought about submitting them.
Google has in no way acknowledged the exceptionally poor design of Android, and there is no evidence that the organization has improved and learned from their management mistakes. How then can they be trusted to produce a new operating system? And why would anyone trust them to produce a secure system that is closed source?
I don't care if Verizon gives it away. Absolutely not.
... to produce a secure system that is closed source?
It may not make a difference in your argument, but it is worth noting that Fuchsia is currently open source: https://github.com/fuchsia-mir... [github.com].
And why would anyone trust them to produce a secure system that is closed source?
So you are therefore suggesting that Apple's operating system's are not secure because they are not open-source?
Of course. They have been proven to be insecure, there have been plenty of security issues with macOS, even one just the other day [arstechnica.com] as well as multiple vulnerabilities that can compromise iOS devices through the browser just by visiting a website, these were often used to break through all security and jailbreak the devices.
Naturally that isn't to say Android or Windows or ChromeOS or Ubuntu etc are any more secure by virtue of being closed or open.
I don't use iOS, and I'm not familiar with their Apple's record on security. However, Google suffered 115 CVEs in 2015 on Stagefright and the Mediaserver. Nexus is a tiny fragment of the Android ecosystem, and most users have 3rd party devices that will never see these completely patched. These flaws are carved in stone in the/system mountpoint, and can never be corrected.
Apple may not have ideal security, but at least they CAN issue patches on the core OS that will reach the majority of their users. Googl
