Why does Samsung keep getting worse over time?
Power leads to corruption, more power leads to more corruption.
Im super happy with my Motorola Edge phone. And I'm looking to get a new Motorola again soon. I think they are awesome. Camera is just ok but that's fine.
So they joined the sith?
It is the typical business strategy. Establish a brand and then devolve the product to exploit those that are too dumb to adapt and change. Samsung has been garbage for a long time. They were okay in the S3-S9 era. Odin 3 as Windows only was garbage, and their factory ROM has always been bloatware garbage. With the Pixel coming with a TPM module, Samy is completely irrelevant in the intelligent consumer market. So they are free to do whatever without any significant push back.
People use the gallery store? I will uninstall all Samsung apps and grab alternatives that I haven't already replaced. Go ahead, scare everyone away. Your fucken keyboard had a data breach somehow your shit is bunk.
It's necessary to update system apps, oddly. Even though they're in bed with Google to move everything to google's apps.
I’m finding a vulnerability but not a data breach for the keyboard. Is that what you’re referring to?
“We analyzed Samsung Keyboard on Android as well as the versions of Sogou IME and Baidu IME that Samsung bundled with our test device, an SM-T220 tablet running ROM version T220CHN4CWF4. We found that Samsung Keyboard for Android and Samsung’s bundled version Baidu IME includes a vulnerability that allows network eavesdroppers to recover the plaintext of insufficiently encrypted network transmissions, revealing sensitive information including what users have typed (see Table 5 for details).”
This is probably what I'm thinking of. I'm wondering what unencrypted network transmissions your keyboard is sending? If I'm correct your keyboard shouldn't really be sending shit over any network.
Got rid of mine just in time, then. Worst phone I've had in 25 years ... basically the entirety of my mobile phone lifetime. Absolute junk.
