  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.

    What are you buying now?

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

  Why does this dude’s face show up in my feed so often is the real question here.

  • alphapuggle@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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

      Fully support this guy and all his efforts but I’m really tired of seeing that face.

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

    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

      An issue is that every 2. youtuber needs to show his face.

    Also is there an audio recording for the people who can’t read?

    • goldisgood4u@lemmings.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

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

  not samsung… 😢

  i’m at a standstill on deciding which phone to purchase next. i currently have the pixel 6 and i’m actually disappointed with it. the phone is too buggy and im tired of google’s bs.

  • iamak@infosec.pub ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Try flashing GrapheneOS if you’re comfortable with it?

    source
  • VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What is buggy? You could try another OS like Calyx or Graphine. It’s android but maybe?

    source

    • mmagod@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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)
