Just a little bit more privacy invasion. C’mon, juuuust a little… 'till you no longer notice.
these kind of creepy stuff make me more glad I’m on iPhone.

Apple is also joining the ‘AI’ game. They have been bragging about all their ‘AI’ garbage in their new phones. That is specifically why I just got rid of my iPhone. I’m happy with GrapheneOS where they don’t want my info, and have shown no signs of wanting to shove ‘AI’ into any of my things.

My snapdragon 8 gen 2 is telling me to fuck myself with a sock filled with broken glass right now.
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’d recommend CalyxOS as a replacement os.
No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn’t have that either.)
Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google’s versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

I remind everyone that Google invested not once, but twice in this company, for a total of $350 million

Fascinating stuff.
I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.
Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

Everybody who uses Google and Samsung products.

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.
Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? …okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

Lineage (privacy focused) & e/os (+de-googled) android is the way
Even supports like 2013(?) Phones with new security updates
At least a lot of phones that dont get software support anymore still have very good hardwareHyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Sucksung customers, iirc, at least have an option to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM that doesn’t phone corporates whatsoever. Iphones, tho, will always phone crapple, so that’s a questionable choice as well.

Haven’t Samsungs always been trash though? From a software perspective, I mean?
I’ve never owned one, but I’ve tried to troubleshoot a few for relatives, and always found their version of Android to be just cunty.
MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Yeah, always their own version of <popular google app>, used by 2 people per month but always running in background. I heard they feared to be thrown out of “Android” certificate program (no Play Store anymore).
Their launcher was always slow and laggy and a ressource hog and only got better, because hardware got better.
My last Samsung was to Kitkat times (Galaxy S3) but even then the whole boot chain was basically custom made (guess for knox) and you had to use their proprietary paid software to edit boot animations. And <fancy gack> always needed a Samsung version.
Samsung is good in hardware and bad in software.
RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 1 month ago
I had the S3 and it was barely usable after some years. Threw… What was lineage before the switch? Cyanogen? … on it and it ran like never before. Samsung software is dogshit.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They used to push their own apps way too hard, and had a terrible UI. But it is a lot better these days. As is evident in this article they are still pieces of shit.
RaoulDook@lemmy.world 1 month ago
They have always had good hardware I think, but their firmware and apps went total shit years ago. I liked their old ones like the S5 and S4 that had notification LEDs and unlockable bootloaders for custom ROMs
Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Yeah they have, my uncle had a cheaper Samsung and in the sound settings there was a button for samsung sound settings, which had the exact same settings, but they acted differently. Some acted the same and would also change say a slider on the normal menu and some wouldn’t.
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Awesome. Stand on the big X and pull the lever, Samsung.

Don’t they know how ugly the common people are. I’m not gonna buy something with an ugly guy in the ad.

Someone at Samsung submitted a user story only to troll, and it worked “I need you to drain my phone battery and data plan for ads when I dont even look at it”

Stuff like this always reminds me of the personalized ads in Mass Effect (like here: youtu.be/hMdIypwM2KI ). That game has accurately depicted the future.

SamsungOS fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. You asked for this. They do it when you let them.

If you use your face to unlock your phone, you kind of deserve this…
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No, this is victim blaming - Samsung does something very anti-privacy and anti-consumer and you blame the user because of the way they use their phone? You are detracting responsibility from the company that has started doing this.

I have an ancient Samsung. Its going to die soon. I don’t think I can get a pixel here. What are my options, coz I also hate apple?
Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.
Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.

oh noes…the evil guys do evil shit…
even funnier: i want to be cool and on the edge but not use iphone why wont android do?
if you support american corporations you are the problem. you are more of a problem then the company itself. still use windows? think iPhones are great? LinkedIn? Insta? WhatsApp?
EVERY argument I heard was shit. each and every one. “I need it to be part of group x”…“cant work without”…any everytime the shit human just told a lie. the real problem was the absolute lack of character and backbone.
so i applaud Samsung! the monkey human wants to be treated as such. give them taylor swift, iphones and slap some ai into their “social” feed. cattle loves it!
