Samsung recently released UI 8 for Android, which had the astounding forward-thinking and innovative move of removing the ability to silence your phone by hitting the volume down button
idk what phone I’m gonna buy next, but that’s the last straw with Samsung for me. I’m already sick of them changing features on the phone to make them worse, like how in order to do a partial screenshot (a feature I used to use a lot) you now need to click the button and wait a few seconds for the “AI” to think about what portion of the screen to select. you cannot skip this waiting period. you cannot disable this (that I have found). you cannot ‘undo’ when you draw a box around a section that includes text and it tries to helpfully extract the text for you instead of just fucking taking a screenshot of the highlighted portion of the screen
fuck Samsung
a guy at work said graphene has been going pretty good
I like my Motorola it’s on the cheaper side but it has an AUX and a disturbingly good battery. Still android so you have to deal with BS, but hey the slightly better model has an microSD card slot so that’s good I guess.
If you’re that fed up, may as well buy an iPhone and root/flash the thing to a custom OS, or another Samsung, and do the same thing. Those brands have consistently had the best hardware, so if you’re gonna just nuke the software anyway, which is your best option, may as well get the hardware that you want.
No offense but what world are you living in where you can just install custom firmware on iPhones and Samsungs? I’d love to live in that world but those are two of the worst manufacturers for cfw support
But that’s just semantics, as the end result is the same. Which leads back to my original question: how? Rooting a modern iphone has been all but impossible for quite some time now.
I don’t know there are a lot of features on a smart fridge that are pretty cool a lot of things that actually can come in handy that I really appreciate it when I considered purchasing one. I’m glad that I didn’t make the purchase before they came out with this idiotic bullshit.
I hate embedded smart stuff in devices in general as they always get support dropped way too soon (and often enshittified with updates as demonstrated), but as a concept a fridge that would keep track what’s in it, their expiration dates, and auto-updated a shopping list when something is used up would actually be really handy.
Wanted to make some pasta few nights back but I was out of cheese and the cream had expired, so instant noodles for dinner it was. Again.
I mean for me it was the fact that it was an embedded tablet the fact that you could trade shopping list and automatically send them to your phones so that way you remembered what to get at the store or while you’re at the store items to be added. Capability for attack actually keep track of when stuff is expiring so that way you knew hey you know what I better go buy this even though it’s not on my list because what’s in here is going to be bad things like that. Also do enjoy watching and looking at recipes online having extra counter space and not having a tablet or having to pull my phone out every 30 seconds while looking at recipes or listening to music or even watching a show while I’m cooking on days like Thanksgiving having the football game playing stuff like that. People that are opposed to advancements in technology are often the ones that hold us back. But luckily there are far fewer people that are actually opposed to it and most of them are concentrated to small forms such as this. we can see based on the amount of sales that the vast majority of people do want the smart fridge new on additional features besides just being able to open and close it and keeping stuff cold or frozen.
Now you know to think twice before buying Samsung anything

Oh thank fuck I disabled updates holy hell my phone would be in a billion pieces and my wife would kill me for destroying my phone.

that doesn’t turn the phone on silent
yes, they replaced the partial crop with AI select. same method of using it, worse feature
I’m on a relatively new phone, so it must be because Samsung sucks
the OCR button doesn’t undo, it just flashes and then reselects the same thing with the text highlighted
maybe mine is buggy. either way, it’s still because Samsung sucks and the feature doesn’t work.

I think Huawei is worse
Did they disable jailbreaking and flashing new roms on in the last few years?
yes
Well fuck. Looks like I need to stockpile some Galaxy S10s
Root/flash an iPhone? How?
Jailbreaking is the term for an iPhone, IIRC.
But that’s just semantics, as the end result is the same. Which leads back to my original question: how? Rooting a modern iphone has been all but impossible for quite some time now.
I haven’t done it for a few years. Didn’t know they killed it on newer models
Can you even root those brands easily?
Not anymore
I’m not sure that it was ever easy. I haven’t rooted anything newer than a Samsung Galaxy S10, but it was possible then.
It’s a smart fridge; they didn’t even think once when they bought it
I don’t know there are a lot of features on a smart fridge that are pretty cool a lot of things that actually can come in handy that I really appreciate it when I considered purchasing one. I’m glad that I didn’t make the purchase before they came out with this idiotic bullshit.
A refrigerator has to do two things.
I want my fridge to be as dumb as possible.

I would prefer the light didn’t come on tbh, too bright and people can see me through the front window looking for snacks in the dark
I mean, give me some health metrics over ZigBee…
What are said cool features?
