Google confirms Android attacks; no fix for most Samsung users

No fix yet for Samsung. Being reliant on the hardware manufacturer (or network operator?) for OS updates is the crazy world we live in.

I hoped with a move to Fuschia, Google would attempt to fix this, but unfortunately Fuschia on mobile is dead.

It’s “Fuchsia” with a “chs” not a “sch”. Where do you get your information that it’s dead?

As Randall Munroe pointed out in https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/, almost nobody knows how to spell "fuchsia" correctly. I only remember it by the mnemonic of it's fuck, but with an s.

I vote to just change the spelling to what almost everyone already thinks it is anyways.

It'll still be just as weird. But "chs" is just nonsensical. The idea that it would sound like "sh" is baffling. I mean, I know this is English spelling which is not known for its regularity, but this is just too much.

In the word "french" C H is pronounced sh and nobody bats an eye, I don't think it's that outlandish that someone once read it as fuch-sia, incorrectly splitting it compared to the original.

In the language French, fuchsia is unequivocally read something more like few-shia, and I'd bet that even though it comes from German Fuchs-ia (fooks-ia) English has picked it up from the French side.

If you find such a loanword weird, don't you dare try reading Japanese.
