    This is why I no longer buy Samsung products. They have a history of doing this and other shady behavior.

      +1. I bought a high end Samsung tablet. In less than a year they disabled the IR app completely. Their customer support said too bad & fuck you.

      Last Samsung I’ll ever buy.

        Probably a Pixel. They’re pretty good, especially if you install something like GrapheneOS.

      That’s Louis Rossman, basically the head of the right to repair movement (nobody’s really the head but for most intents and purposes it’s this guy)

      If you support the right to repair, or even if you don’t, it wouldn’t hurt to look into his stuff

        Okay but I see him in a lot of tech related posts lately, also not about right to repair.

          He also runs a tech repair shop in New York, I could see him being in a lot of tech stuff you’re seeing

                A year or two ago I think. He sold it off and opened a new shop in Texas after becoming sick and tired of dealing with red tape in NYC, paying fees and taxes etc.

          Hi Shepard, shitty life pro tip … Just close your eyes when you play his videos, like a Krogran blindly running into battle.

      He has a youtube channel that talks about the latest developments in the tech industry. Seems a lot of people like his videos. Its not an “issue” unless you make it one

        also is there an interpretive dance summarizing the main points for those of us that struggle with specificity but thrive on abstraction?

            How about a cave with some art on the wall I could visit on my own time? I hate it when someone interrupts my phone information smoke signals (or smokies as the kids call them these days) and when you miss a puff or two it’s impossible to find your place again.

        i will try graphene…

        i’ve had issues where my screen goes dark during calls and i can’t wake it up, when calls come thru, i don’t see the caller id until like 3rd or 4th ring, people can’t hear me when on speaker, it chooses what volume different apps chime in at ( this has gotten me in serious trouble with alarms)

          Good luck! I’m on Calyx but I know plenty use graphene as well.

          That sounds like a bit of a buggy mess you have had. If you don’t feel like swapping OS, you may be able to fix the issue just by downloading a different phone app.

    Next time someone comes across a libertarian, add this to your long list of examples as to why the ideology is a terrible idea and present it.
