I prefer my Tab S8 over my 2019 iPad Pro, because all I use my tablet for is editing photos and watching media — but because it has user profiles, I can also share it with my young kids and control their app and content access, etc. So, Android is a very easy win for me in that regard.

Briefly thought this was saying that Android was finally getting a native notes app as capable as Apple's notes app...

I use my S Pen a lot, but never for writing. It's generally just photo editing, sketching, annotation, etc. I'll be bloody sad if Samsung ever ditches the silo!

Looks great! I'll be watching the progress on this one, for sure. Keep us updated!

I love Firefox, but I can't live without Chrome's tab grouping. I just don't understand why Mozilla don't add this to Firefox.

You don't... You don't think any exec cares about user experience, do you? Well, they do, but only to the extent that everything they do is just below our threshold for leaving in outrage.

I'm in Australia, haha. Don't get me wrong, a lot of Aussies use it. It just hasn't been something I've been forced into yet!

Oh I'm happy to admit I have no idea how they'd do it. I thought perhaps they could make the phone wider, like the Pixel Fold, and that might free up some room on the outer edge (i.e. not near the hinge). But I guess it'd also need to be a very thin stylus, since each panel of the Fold is thinner than an S23U. 🤷‍♂️

Man. I had no idea LocalSend existed. I've been looking for something like this for ages. I'd been using Snapdrop on and off, but it was pretty unreliable.

I use MacOS, so this shit has never been as simple for me as it should be!

This reminds me of how glad I am that so few people in my life use whatsapp. It's improved over the last few years, but I still find it an ugly and frustrating platform.

Oh no doubt. I don't have one yet though, so I'm watching closely. The new hinge makes it appealing for me, but I know it'll likely be the 6th gen that introduces more significant changes.

Hahaha, this is me. Nailed it.
