The dev replies with "hi, thanks for the bug report, please provide a memory dump and a screen recording." How about they just try it out? Do they not have phones?
Also, you ask if they don't "have phones" but to see this they need Android 12, if you bought a new high-end Android phone it might have Android 12. If you bought one last year, maybe it's qualified to upgrade to Android 12 but clearly this brings some bugs as illustrated. If your phone was not top of the line and you bought it say, before the pandemic, chances are you can't run Android 12 at least not today and perhaps ever.
Now, L1 support monkeys aren't flipping burgers or cleaning hotel rooms, I'm sure they do own phones, but there's no reason they own a good phone on whatever they're earning and if they do maybe it's an iPhone, which of course can't run Android 12.
Seriously. I sit on the other side of this a lot of the time, and bullshit like this makes everyone's troubleshooting harder. I'm happy to work with someone to troubleshoot a problem, but blindly ask me to waste my time, and I'll usually walk away. Someone else can dance for your pleasure.
I have gotten a lot shorter with this sort of thing, but that's because I've been burned being patient. Push all the effort and costs on to me and you won't have me as a customer.

Difficult to use human touch when dealing with >>> thousands of bug reports.
I can't tell one way or the other from that interface the roles of all involved. But I'm not sure it matters.
Not sure what this has to do with Diablo Immortal /s
I think your are confusing the role of a trailing dot in the DNS[1] system with the role of a host element in a URI[2].
So, technically speaking, adding a period at the end of a URL is really not OK because `https://example.com/index.html` and `https://example.com/index.html.` are different resources. (note that HN's URL linking logic omits the trailing dot.)
I can understand if you think there should be no difference between `https://example.com/` and `https://example.com./` and that is legitimate per the RFC:
> The rightmost domain label of a fully qualified domain name in DNS may be followed by a single "." and should be if it is necessary to distinguish between the complete domain name and some local domain.
but there is no reason to expect that adding a period at the end of any old URI is going to work.

All the names in SNI should be real names and not some locally qualified name, the alternative would be confusing because these are identities and so it doesn't mean anything to have proof you're really "testserver4" we want to know whether you're really "testserver4.mycorp.example" or not.
And naturally in your citation you could use `https://serverfault.com./a/18122` which works perfectly fine
It's only hipster services such as traefik and caddy that can't handle this. There's a long standing bug on the caddy bugtracker for this, which got closed as wontfix: working as intended.
After disabling every single assistant or enrichment option I could find, Android is still putting auto-reply prompts into any notification that has a reply button. GO AWAY!

Google seems to LOVE taking a working, great product everyone enjoys, and mutilating it to make everyone miserable. There are many examples. And I know at least one person who updated their phone to android 12 and found it so off-putting they downgraded back to 11 (thankfully you can do that). I just stay on 11 to begin with.
And honesty, it seems significantly buggier. My wife and daughter have noticed it on their phones as well. The keyboard frequently disappears while texting, and you can't get it back without exiting the program. Things freeze for longer.
Seriously regretting upgrading.

So I just stop caring about Android updates beyond watching a couple of Google IO talks.
There is absolutly nothing on the newer versions that makes me think "oh I need a new phone".
One super-annoying thing I hit often: the Contacts app on a Samsung phone suggests autocompletes of phone numbers in the edit/add contact flow. Do I now need to explain to stupid computer that I am entering a new number that it does not yet know, ffs?
I mean, seriously, something deep in the OS just sees "oh a phone number goes here? Let me supply one from Contacts...". It's trying to be smart, but in a completely oblivious and counter productive way. It's been like that for years. Does no one use these apps?
I took a look and soon deduced it was searching on "sounds like" rather than the actual string, so an exact match is way down the list of partial matches that sound like the search string.
It is madness, like Google refusing to do exact matches only worse.
You don't get the stock File Manager, you get the Samsung File Manager. The window manager is the Samsung Window Manager, or Launcher, or whatever. Hers even had a rebranded browser called "Internet", if I recall correctly.
All those Samsung-specific apps are (or at least were) objectively worse than the stock Android alternatives.
I will agree that in the era you last saw it, it was awful.
What's the alternative? They're pretty much the last premium android manufacturer left. (I would've maybe switched to a Pixel if they hadn't removed the headphone jack)
> All those Samsung-specific apps are (or at least were) objectively worse than the stock Android alternatives.
That's a very strong claim. I'm not a big fan of the Samsung apps (and I'd prefer if they focused on the hardware and supplied stock android), but they often have new features ahead of mainline Android.
That their engineers and managers still to this day prefer to write their own apps instead is using stock or close to stock tells me they haven't learned from that mistake.
Not that this excuses the low quality of their software. It's in all likelihood filled with spyware too. At least the hardware is good and has good support for custom software.
With SFTP and SMB support built in, I would say Samsung's File Manager (called My Files now) is objectively superior.
From the issue tracker:
It also affects the newer generic TLDs. Some examples:
.apple becomes .ap
.amex becomes .am
.army, .arte, .art, and .arab become .ar
.audi, .audio., .auto, .and autos become .au
.bet and .beer become .be

I see that when scanned, I get the same "https://fooco.at" string back, as opposed to "foo.co.at"
I get the same for fooco.nz , foonet.nz, foodmil.nz and foogov.nz . But not the more obscure foogen.nz and fooiwi.nz.
.nz only did 3lds for a long time. 2LDs are only about 5 years old.
* www[0-9].example.tld -> [0-9].example.tld, e.g. www1.nyc.gov -> 1.nyc.gov
* example[ac|co|gov|edu].tld -> example.[ac|co|gov|edu].tld e.g. exampleac.uk -> example.ac.uk
My guess, as someone else further down the comments mentioned, is that some URL handling library is doing more than expected to its input. I filed an internal bug report referencing some of the public reports from a dev build of Android 12, so hopefully this will get triaged soon if someone hasn't already done a similar reproduction.
(I work at Google, but on nothing remotely related to Android.)
Everyone is always munging the data for "user convenience". Drives me nuts.
And I'm over 40 so it doesn't matter what I say.
I hate it when an app assumes I'm an idiot producing typos half the time, and fighting the autocorrect then wastes more time than it could ever save. Just implement undo and leave me alone.
There is an amount of vanity in a company having mad numbers of employees seemingly unecessarily but who is the person who decides that we can cut 5000 jobs and split the work up between the other people you already have? The CEO? Why bother? You have bucket loads of cash so the status quo is easier any maybe once in a blue moon, someone actually comes up with something really clever.
Should have started with that upfront, then I would have known to ignore your comment /s
This change destructs obsolete QR Code reading feature[that needed no change], is impactful[in negative sense], and fixes erroneous URLs[as if there are many]. If you drop negative expressions in brackets it fits a lot of bills.
Same company that has an assistant that suggest one should call the boss at 0400 instead of opening the audio book one was started yesterday or even opening HN as I use to do while I enjoy my first cup of coffee in the morning.
Same company that thinks a married man with small kids needs to se ads for shady dating sites and hardly any other ad for 10 years. These days it is somewhat more varied but with a heavy dose of pay-to-win war games with female protagonists who can barely fit their b00bs inside the uniform.
Same company that mangles my searches, doing these kind of "corrections" transparently with no working way to opt out.
Why why why try to insult my intelligence and my wife at the same time?
I'm not in a position to short anything meaningful for 5 years but the thought has struck me.
People with whom I've been in touch for YEARS, are labelled as spam all the time, disregarding how many times I clicked the "Not Spam" button.
All while VERY obvious nigerian-prince tier emails arrive straight to my inbox everyday.
How could you possibly mess up something that you already had figured out?
Setting (gear) > "See all settings" (top button) > "Filters and Blocked Addresses"
Click "Create a new filter" (centered in the middle of the form) - fill out the "from" etc. then click "Create filter".

Or how do you start manipulating urls and not just realize this is inevitable / words have these strings inside them…?
Or one of those tracking links from the Google search results.

Google's software has long since started to be hit and miss for me. It has almost become as bad as Microsoft in that regard.
I have lost count of how often I am suggested to change my email's TLD from its proper Icelandic ending .is to .it or .io. To be fair, this is not Google related but universal.
If you dear reader do not do anything else today then to read up on the many falsehoods[0] we as humans can fall into (that then infects our software solutions) it would be a day well spent.
That said, I find that my Samsung S8 has got progressively slower to start apps, particularly, and in that time, nothing else has noticeably changed. I understand obsolete hardware when a load of bells and whistles are added and the old hardware can't do it but I can't see anything noticeably different from 10 years ago.
On the other hand, I can also understand why people don't want to support 10 year old operating systems, which is why I had to bin my perfectly working Macbook Pro once it wasn't allowed to update the OS any more.
I wonder if the reporter's QR code creation app was doing the correction and not Google Lens?
Edit: oh I see it's only if you do it through the camera app
fennec (f-droid firefox) has a QR code button if you tap the URL bar
I don't think they understand what "random" means.
