Dumb shit in my new phone:

1. Camera app settings (e.g. choosing video format/res) are not in the app, they're in Settings
2. Can't set an alternative default browser; it's Safari or whatever crappy "embedded browser" your app implemented. I use Edge because synced bookmarks, superior UI, etc.
3. Can't add a punctuation button to my keyboard without switching to a whole other keyboard.
4. Where the fuck is my wi-fi calling? I mean, I've got 5,000 minutes/month, and I never talk on the damn thing anyway, but that's not the point.
5. Also, where's the smart screen equivalent? Apple should invent the fuck out of that, given how well it works on Samsung phones (i.e. really well)
6. Why can't I sort a folder of apps alphabetically? Why can't I have folders inside folders? Goddammit Apple, get inventing!
7. The notch is not just dumb as shit, it's now dumb as retro shit. It'll be gone in the next iteration of iPhones, I predict.
8. Live wallpaper. Just... why? Only works on the lock screen, only when you press it, not impressive when you do. What use case is this addressing?
9. lol iCloud. I'm firmly in Microsoft's camp for online/cloud stuff, and thank fuck I am, because I'd be both broke and annoyed to fuck if I was dependent on Apple's half-arsed cloud shit.
10. The Move To iOS app should really have asked me if I wanted to move 5GB of pictures (which were already in my OneDrive) before (a) taking an age and (b) filling up my iCloud and making Apple send me emails exhorting me to spend money.
New Oh, thanks, I'm touched! ;-)
Hey, OTOH -- and in this case, to their benefit -- Apple probably didn't invent all of that either. :-D

New Re: What's smart screen?
Crafty thingy that looks at your incoming calls and uses magic to decide if it's spam/robocall/etc.

Works really well; every phone should have it.
New Ahh, didn't know the name
I've got a Pixel that flags calls as spam, so that might be a Google thing, not Samsung, or they may have a wrapper on it. Not that it matters, I virtually never answer calls from unknown numbers anyway.

New my elderly microsoft phone has a scam calling notification instead of the incoming number

New Well, Firefox is available as browser app.
But, I use it only on my MacBook.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
