Let's hope it's better than most Samsung products

Well my $1800 phone has push notification ads for mobile games I can't disable because Samsung flags the Galaxy Store as a system app so you can't disable notifications. You can see here that the option is greyed out.

They also install shitty games with "security updates" every month or so.

I'm so glad that the launcher I use has a "Recently Installed Apps" button at the bottom of the apps list. It makes it so easy to go through and scrub the bullshit they install on my phone.

So you want the batteries to not show ads? I don't understand. Do you have any actual relatable issues between the batteries and other products?

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

How about the time they had to recall their flagship phones because the batteries were exploding and ended up being banned by the FAA?

So they changed our all the batteries, and re-released the phones, only for them to start blowing up again?

It comes with their version of a calendar installed and it wont charge unless you grant it permissions to access your gps log, at which point it will crash.

Their batteries are usually top notch. If you're hunting around for 18650 cells--which are notoriously bad for fake claims on Amazon and Aliexpress ("80,000mAh!!!!" when the best 18650 cells are closer to 3,500mAh)--a genuine Samsung cell is a safe bet.

Samsung was very transparent about their fuck up with the note 7. The article you linked makes it very clear it was a connection issue or a different manufacturer. At this point this is equivalent to the burn banana peels to get high or you eat dozens of spiders while you sleep internet lies.

All I see in the thumbnail is delicious, forbidden makizushi

Shit, if they run windows on whatever car uses these it could be a real adventure...will it crash when you lose wifi, or just explode randomly? ANYONES GUESS!

The Ford Fukit, new EV for $1000, just sign these waivers and sign up for this power steering subscription. The braking fee will be automatically applied per month based on use. GOOD LUCK!
