Chapter 282 You Are Really Shameless
Wen Liang did tweet with the ID realGodMagic.

He wasn't just tweeting the original text, though.

On range, he only mentioned a way for him to successfully install range on the Stars system.

And there is one more condition in the challenge content on twitter.

That is: if it is an iPhone5 model, the bonus for successful challenge will be [-] US dollars more.

Judging from the wording of the tweet, it seems that realGodMagic accidentally omitted to add the condition of "if it is an iPhone5 model", and simply added 5 US dollars casually.

But in fact, Wen Liang did it on purpose.

Because the total number of global users of Range is still only 500 million, the coverage is really limited.

Although the number of daily visiting IPs has exceeded 500 million, that is, the number of tourists is quite large;

But compared to Twitter, it's not a social media platform of any size at all.

As for why he didn't choose Facebook and Youtube, which are also huge social platforms, well... Boss Wen is lazy.

Running on two platforms is enough trouble.

All in all, the $15 gimmick was just a seemingly simple challenge to complete, and it quickly became the center of attention.

Countless people know range because of this.

Know the Stars system.

I know that there is actually a system that can be installed on Apple mobile phones to replace iOS, and even this system is extremely well optimized in terms of games, which is better than the original iOS game experience.

Accidentally, even iOS has the prefix 'native'.

In the past, this was a unique prefix noun for Android.

In addition to the spontaneous spread of overseas good news netizens and the onlookers leading to the same heat for a while, there are several teams of Bolang Group behind it, the marketing promotion of Peixuan, the Borange complex and so on.

It quickly became a global hotspot, um... including China.

It's just that this time Xiaochengshu gave it to Weibo, which was planning a big move, so that things were first exposed on Weibo.

Discussions of all kinds swept the global web.

"@Steven check out this challenge, here's your chance, $15!!! fxxk, come out!"

"Jim Jim I remember you've always been a fan of tinkering with Android ROMs, here's $15, go try it out."

"@Miller I have great news for $15."

"..."

Ah San: "Scared, the spread is too wide. This is to call out all the best programmers in the world?"

Xiaori: "God Magic is really rich. It actually asked a third-party platform to notarize 15 US dollars. That's a lot of money."

Tuji: "In fact, it only cost 10 US dollars, but he didn't bother to modify the original content, and it became 15 US dollars. I really envy the rich."

Xiao Xiba: "The star system must have been researched by people in our country, absolutely, absolutely!"

Monkey: "That's right, the universe belongs to your developed region without full sovereignty."

Xiaobo: "Let's agree."

"..."

Domestic sand sculpture netizens are quite active in joining in the excitement.

Some people go overseas to join in the fun, while others join in the fun on domestic social media platforms.

Mainly the trouble of overcoming the wall, and the language barrier.

"The star system has already started to spread abroad? Wai Guoren really knows how to play, and it is a challenge of 15 US dollars, 100 million yuan!"

"@机场持控子Chicken Brother Chicken, you go and try?"

"Brother Ji should have tried the impossible a long time ago. Anyway, if it is possible, it won't be more than a month, and no one has installed third-party applications on the Xingchen system."

"Speaking of which, I haven't paid much attention to the Star system recently. I just found some records. The number of apps in the app store has exceeded 100?"

"It's already surpassed, but the playability is still not high. Except for Xiaochengshu, there are no other mainstream applications. Most of them are small games, and there are some small applications, all of which are auxiliary."

Jiu Ai: "It happened that everyone made statistics before, so I will copy them;
At present, there are 204 applications in the star system application store;
Among them, there are 9 applications developed by Bolang, and 13 mobile games released by Letitong, which are considered enterprise applications;
In addition, there are 129 game applications developed by individual developers, mostly small games;
There are 53 non-game applications developed by individual developers, almost all of which are auxiliary applications, including but not limited to small software such as calendar, clock, weather, themes, readers, etc. Among them, 10 applications have received special treatment, which is a pity Only 7 applications are auxiliary small software, and 3 applications have gone astray, resulting in heavy losses.

According to rumors, some small companies intend to submit their applications to the Star platform, but there is no official information at present. As for the standing applications QQ, Weibo, Alipay, Taobao, JD.com, Youku, WeChat, etc., there are none, and there is no official information. "

In the end, the machine circle came late: "I can't earn 100 million yuan. If third-party applications can be installed on the star system, do you think the number of applications will be so small now? Just crack one, All other applications can be cracked;
As for installing it on the iPhone5... I also think about this. I have used the Xingchen system for more than a month, and now I can't go back to the original Android or iOS.

I did entrust someone to buy the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 5, and I have been trying to find a way to upgrade it to the Star system. Unfortunately, my iPhone 5 has become a brick. Fortunately, we can find a Star PM. "

"Brother Chicken is indeed a man with super hands-on ability."

"The newly bought iPhone 5 has directly become a brick, which is our chicken brother. If it were me, I would feel so distressed."

"..."

In essence, even Bo Lang didn't make a move, but Wen Liang launched a challenge that was bound to be impossible to complete under the gimmick of an ID of 15 US dollars.

It sparked heated discussions among netizens around the world.

This kind of operation is actually a relatively simple marketing application. There are many such examples in reality, such as changing the logo of 200 million sorghum.

Discussions on the overseas network are all about calling friends and asking programmer friends you know to earn the $15.

Discussions on the domestic Internet still cannot avoid some original topics.

And among these topics, there is a subtle thing in it, um... Habit, it is a kind of funny trust.

how to say.

There is actually a very interesting thing about the application ecology.

Since the era of the mobile Internet swept across, the main electronic device that many people come into contact with is the mobile phone, and the frequency of use of the computer has decreased a lot, and the intelligentization of the mobile terminal is strictly regarded as being started by Apple. iOS has a first-mover advantage. It is difficult to have too vivid feelings in the application.

Generally, Android has it, and iOS also has it.

Even the products of large companies generally adapt to iOS first, because the size of Apple mobile phone models is very small, and the adaptation is not difficult.

In comparison, the model size of the Android camp is really vast.

but.

However, the computer side is completely different.

The number of software supported by Apple's macOS is pitifully small. Many of the necessary tool software do not support it, and many entertainment software do not support it. However, this does not prevent many people from considering Apple as an essential tool.

For example, in the era of 2012, the macOS version of QQ was very difficult to use, but people's desire to buy it was not low, and many people even didn't install Windows as a dual system in Apple.

What should I do if I encounter an application that needs it but does not support it?
The result is generally a salad.

That's the interesting thing.

Because the essence of ecology is to let people get used to it, nothing more.

Just like in the domestic environment, because the distribution of Android applications is very simple, there are often some very targeted apps, and such apps are generally not available on iOS, and no one says not to buy Apple.

Even iOS is not perfect at this stage, and many personalized applications cannot be successfully installed through formal channels, so Apple jailbreak is still one of the must-have advertisements for mobile phone sales shops, repair shops, and even film booths in streets and alleys.

However, the result is that fewer and fewer Apple mobile phone users choose to jailbreak, but more and more people buy Apple.

Wen Liang has experience in all these things. The Bolang mobile phone business he personally promoted naturally took this interesting situation into consideration in the planning, so the Star system went smoothly step by step, and it was calm in general.

It should be noted that the Apple jailbreak is to find some bugs in the iOS system and disable the code-signing enforcement security mechanism so that changes and adjustments can be made to the iOS.

There is only a certain similarity with Bolang trying to install the star system on the Apple mobile phone.

Appropriate comparative examples are:

Install the Windows system on the Apple computer.

In this regard, Apple is not only as simple as acquiescing, but even actively cooperates.

What's more interesting is that in the 2020s, after Apple launched the m1 chip suitable for computers, it was difficult to install Windows on the m1 Apple notebook. There are rumors that the wintel alliance blocked Apple.

All in all, if Apple’s jailbreak is a vague area, and the rights cannot be confirmed, the jailbreak team is generally called a hacker, and even the engineers who developed the iOS version of the app store Cydia can eventually be recruited by Apple.
Then, Bolang's behavior is a looser ambiguity. Even if Apple wants to sue Bolang, it will be a little troublesome.

First of all, Bolang is a Chinese company.

Secondly, Bolang has no plans to enter the American market so far.

8 number.

Li Ze and Lin Hong led the team to leave Yangcheng and fly to London.

Through his grandfathers, Wen Liang obtained some necessary support, and was able to provide necessary help to Li Ze and the others on this trip.

After more than a day of fermentation.

The excitement on the overseas Internet has not diminished but increased.

Some of the brightest examples are:

The total number of global users of Range has exceeded 700 million, and the number of daily visitors has exceeded [-] million.

Overseas downloads of Star System have exceeded 100 million copies.

The range attention of realGodMagic has increased by 50, reaching 200 million.

realGodMagic's Twitter followers have increased by more than 100 million, reaching an astonishing 200 million.

So, money is really a good thing.

Wen Liang flipped through various private messages and discussions, and then referred to the statistics of the public opinion monitoring system, muttering: "It seems that the father of Android has been caught out, and he is probably studying whether the star system will be the second Aliyun OS."

"Apple also seems to want to move but is not moving. It needs to be added to the fire. It is best to let Apple show up."

"If overseas hackers are lucky, they can crack the star system that the national team hasn't cracked for more than a month in one day. It's really troublesome."

"It's just right, speed up the disgusting wave of apples, and divert your attention."

So, a little later, Xingchen PM bubbled up on Range and Twitter.

Xingchen PM: "Thank you @realGodMagic for your love for our Stars system. Our studio intends to launch a flashing tutorial for iPhone5 devices. I wonder if we can get a bounty/dog head/dog head"

This made the onlookers dumbfounded.

None of them expected that realGodMagic could blow up the official.

What made them even more dumbfounded was Range's official operations.

Range official: "Thanks to @星际PM for the reminder, @realGodMagic wonders if our company can launch a range that adapts to the Stars system, so as to get your reward! After all..."

too……

Too shameless!
Wen Liang, who knew the whole truth, saw the relevant news, and couldn't help scolding immediately: "It's really shameless."
