  • It’s fucking crazy how much work goes into shitting out thousands and thousands of slightly different models of android phone and tablet and chromebook. Slap together a board design based on buying two trays of some SOC. Open up the Android source, slap some NDA drivers in, build an image, burn it into a production run. Don’t bother saving your changes, these devices will never get an update. Two weeks later, change out the whole design for a different chip, repeat.
