Youtube keeps locking up, crashing randomly. This is the official Google-published Youtube app, on iOS.
Iām a greybeard and another greybeard tried to ask me when it was that everything worked perfectly since it never had since the 1980s for him and I said like four years ago.
Until the last couple years, it hasnāt been normal for apps to just lock up, freeze, do weird shit, and crash. Not even little nobody apps in the app store, let alone the google core suite apps.
The car I have now, the screen locks up, does weird things.
This is a new cultural standard for shippable quality. A new, lower standard.
I think Google did something fucky recently. I've been having chrome lock up for me on my lightweight Linux distro when it never has before. It seems like the ram management is totally out of control now.
I use chrome because the dev features are still the best and I need them for work, but I think I'm finally going to switch to Firefox for my non dev needs.
If you're going to use Chrome, at least use a fork.
My car's Bluetooth stopped working and when I turn on the radio, the touch screen goes crazy and it thinks that I'm trying to change the audio settings. It also says the year is 2167. The only way to reset that computer is to tear the whole front end of the car apart. I just keep the radio off and listen to music with a Bluetooth speaker. I don't have the time or money to have a dealership take apart a nine year old car for the fuckin Bluetooth and radio. As long as it drives well and passes inspection, I'm happy.
on iOS
Well there's your problem.
Google apps used to be significantly better on iOS than android for a long time. The commenter is pointing to the quality of software developers are happy shipping has went down not the os.
It's not always the app software. I've had lots of instances where I had software that worked perfectly fine, but which then got serious issues after an os update. I can recall one instance with an android app which lost functionality after an os update, but with windows it's a constant worry and if any software breaks for someone, my first reflex has become to check if windows has been updated recently. I can't speak about apple devices, but if they make a change in the os, then it's bound to affect apps as well.
iOS is rock solid historically. That was its major claim to fame: less flexible, but more reliable.
It's you! A soul of chaos has been found!
Quick! Someone summon the incarnation of entropy! We can finally fix the timeline!
Iām happy to do what I can to repair our history ā¦ as long as I get to use GitKraken
