> Two Accounts Online > Running two social accounts;Dealing with life and work in one device...

Work profiles and user accounts are a thing on Android, I'm not sure why that's the first bullet point.

fmajid•9mo ago
Neither work profiles nor this will protect you if your device is subpoenaed. That’s why I have two separate physical devices (well, 4 if you include laptops). You should never mix work and personal devices.
alerighi•9mo ago
Fine, if they are company provided. But I will not buy a phone (and SIM card) myself for work usage. When I possibly can I make calls with the work landline phone, but it's not always possible (or I have to have customers send me messages on WhatsApp etc) so I use my personal phone.

Not something I like since there are customer that calls you even outside office hours (but I just block that calls).

prmoustache•9mo ago
> Fine, if they are company provided.

You have no reason to accept using your personal phone for work if company doesn't provide one anyway.

voidUpdate•9mo ago
I enjoy how on this website, the first panel has text styled to look like default times new roman, and the rest are styled with a helvetica-like

I don't enjoy how a single scroll wheel tick moves an entire screen...

ashirviskas•9mo ago
Inconsistent punctuation; grammar mistakes; copyright @2019 notice on the bottom.

I do not trust this a single bit.

It is a Chinese website, I suspect the translation was done by a human not very proficient with English
arghwhat•9mo ago
The original Chinese website has a more recent 2024 copyright and much more content: https://www.vmos.cn/ - copyright years on websites are completely useless, people should stop doing that.

That repos haven't been pushed in a number of years is slightly supsicious, although they could just have taken things internal.

(Open source licenses do not require pushing to public github, only that someone obtaining the application can also obtain a copy of the source used to make it - can be an inquiry leading to a flashdrive by snailmail.)

indrora•9mo ago
Depending on jurisdiction, having a year on your copyright that is correct and accurate is required for maintaining any copyright on that content.
arghwhat•9mo ago
Countries who follow the Berne convention require neither "All rights reserved" text, copyright claim or year. Enforcable copyright is automatically assigned the moment the work is created.

The purpose of dating work is so that if your copyright is contested, you will have evidence that you created the work first. This is done by obtaining an officially recognized dating, which is usually done through registration with the copyright office (the registration has no other legal purpose after the Berne convention was adopted). External evidence or dating can also be used, e.g. having mailed the work to yourself and thereby having the work dated by the post office, having music be on hitlists, etc.

Writing the date on the work yourself has no value whatsoever. Dynamically injecting the current year has negative value as you are undermining the age of your work and thereby harming your ability to defend it as being the work first created.

In the case of a website, the only valuable evidence in proving the age of the content would be external content references and archive.org scapings.

How is this compared to Samsung Knox?
gbraad•9mo ago
Knox is more like a namespace. This seems to run a kernel and allows for root execution, so I suspect it does emulation (as the name implies vm-os).
eniac111•9mo ago
From the GitHub README:

"If you use the VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM for internal use, commercial profit or uploading to the app market without authorization, we will collect evidence and report to the police (copyright infringement) or prosecute. Anyone who reports unauthorized or illegal use of VMOS Pro Android 5.1 ROM code to develop products will be rewarded upon verification. We will keep the identity of the whistleblower confidential!"

gus_massa•9mo ago
The repo has no license, so it's not open source. I think Microsoft Windows has an implicit similar warning.

I'm not sure what this project does exactly. IIRC Android has a mix of GPL for the kernel and Apache for the userspace. If they modify only the Apache part, I think it's legal to release with a proprietary licence.

why not use profiles provided by android?
archargelod•9mo ago
This can emulate (more like chroot) older Android versions.

I remember using it to run some Lolipop (Android 5) games that are no longer working since Android 7-9.

Some people use VMOS to sandbox apps that require google services, so their main Phone OS stays clean from this garbage.

Also, since Huawei is famously prohibited from using google services on their devices, Huawei users often use VMOS to circumvent this restriction for selected apps that wont work without GMS.

gitroom•9mo ago
Pretty funny seeing all the copyright warnings, can't help but wonder if anyone actually pays attention to those. You think using stuff like VMOS is even worth it when Android already has so many built-in features for separating accounts?
Jotalea•9mo ago
I'd like to share an alternative to this app, called [Virtual Master](https://virtualmaster.app). It allows for Android-in-Android virtualization, with near native performance. Supports virtualizing up to Android 11, and is stable enough.
