Samsung recently released UI 8 for Android, which had the astounding forward-thinking and innovative move of removing the ability to silence your phone by hitting the volume down button
idk what phone I'm gonna buy next, but that's the last straw with Samsung for me. I'm already sick of them changing features on the phone to make them worse, like how in order to do a partial screenshot (a feature I used to use a lot) you now need to click the button and wait a few seconds for the "AI" to think about what portion of the screen to select. you cannot skip this waiting period. you cannot disable this (that I have found). you cannot 'undo' when you draw a box around a section that includes text and it tries to helpfully extract the text for you instead of just fucking taking a screenshot of the highlighted portion of the screen
fuck Samsung
a guy at work said graphene has been going pretty good

There's a pretty simple hack for this, actually…
Can't wait to see this come to the dash boards of modern cars. Oh? You're trying to reverse and make use of your rear-view camera? Watch this 2 minute unskippable ad first.

bootstrapping problem if you need to drink your Mountain Dew(tm) verification can before you can open the door.
Gotta keep some warm ones outside the fridge just for this situation. It only takes a couple of warm Mountain Dew's to get people back in line.
That thing would already have a broken cracked screen if that was mine and it started displaying ads.
What a fucking dystopia
You probably wouldn't make the initial mistake of buying a fridge with a fixed tablet

Samsung appliances used to be durable.
I had a Samsung washing machine for about two decades. We deciced to replace it with another Samsung, it already has a big crack in the plastic after a year of use and the top is all scratched just by dragging the clothes out.

Wow. Not even a tasteful design, just turning the fridge into a full fledged highway billboard. Disgusting.
