This is a very stupid rant and I already know people will downvote me(it has happened before)

The internet is no long just a network of computers. It has at least 2 centralized points

icaan controls names and numbers. That includes DNS and IP addresses. When the Ukraine Russia war started they were asked to disconnect Russia from the internet by rejecting their IPS. They said no, but COULD have yes. Also, companies like google and amazon can get their own TLD (.aws and .ggl) you you and I can’t because we are not buddies with them

certificate authorities: there is a fucking huge list of companies that are allowed to sign certificates. No, you can’t just get on that list, you have to ask permission and be audited. If ONE of them fucks up, there are serious consequences for EVERYBODY (yes, I know certificate pinning is a thing, but still)

I’ll start the conversation and hope its useful to some other dev, I hate that there aren’t any sites where I can just paste a link of a paid service like Veo and get a free alternative

Most of mine are things like setting a default for things like wifi or Bluetooth devices.

I want my phone to connect to my home wifi and know it’s the home wifi? I want it to prefer that wifi to other networks.

I want my Bluetooth headset to stay connected to the device I’m currently using rather than changing to a separate device when that device is powered on.

I’m sure there are others but I think these may not be solvable without changing the way these devices handle connections in their firmware.

After the latest Android update, When I turn on the torchlight on my phone, I get a notification with a blingeling sound.
I often use the torch when going to bed, and the audio notification is EXTREMELY annoying since I’m trying not to wake my wife.

For fucks sake, a notification for tuning on the torchlight? I would think it’s kind of obvious since first I pushed the button to turn it on, and for fucks sake it a TORCHLIGHT, how could I miss having turned it on?!?! That notification is insanely moronic, and I can’t find anywhere to disable it???

Fucking stupid Android updates.
PS:
My phone is a Xiaomi 13T Pro.
