Samsung is working on a new AI experience for its devices that will help you use your phone without ever accessing the Settings menu.

I can't wait for Bixby Settings to gaslight me about the option to pick another on-screen keyboard than the official Samsung one...

I like the idea of AI. But I want it to be optional.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan of talking to my phone. So I'd not want to use this so called feature. If they force this change this will be my last Samsung phone.

I just hope the other manufacturers don't follow suit.

and all of this of course will only work with a samsung account where you agree to share all your phone's data constantly; in addition a small monthly subscription fee, and then you can finally change your screen brightness of your phone again that you bought for a 1000 USD

So a .config file that you can transfer between phones then right? Right, Samsung...?

Gave up on Samsung after the S4, guess I will keep not buying their products

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

They problem is, one company leads and other's follow. It's hard to say for sure that this will remain a Samsung "feature".

The last thing I expected from Samsung.

What? I'm surprised they didn't already do this. You will do what Samsung wants or get get lost, that's the samsung way.

I stopped buying their phones when they started locking the bootloaders for the Qualcomm ones in the US. My last one was a galaxy s5. Sadly now I go with the pixel line directly from google, because I know it'll be unlocked.

And I'm never switching back. Fuck you very much, Samsung.
