    Shit, Samsung dropped a recent update that turned my S24 into an iPhone. It’s the most annoying update and makes me want to root my phone.

    From the article: “The company claims One UI 8 brings “multimodal capabilities, UX tailored to different device form factors, and personalized, proactive suggestions.” Having used the new OS for a few hours, it doesn’t seem like much has changed with Samsung’s AI implementation.”

    If you are curious, the article goes into more detail about the tweaks to the AI layer. I just wanted to provide a TLDR for those keeping up with the general AI shenanigans.

    My phone’s battery is discharging at an alarming rate. One of the things I want to try is removing Gemini. Anyone knows it’s URI so that I remove it through ADB?

      I believe it’s built into the Google app by default com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

          Thats odd, it doesnt find it for you? I haven’t had to use it in a couple years so maybe the database it outdated? I think theres an app on F-Droid called Kanade that can pull package internal names from packages if that might help.

    Its crazy the lack of phones being developed without ai and with physical keyboards.

    Any idiot can see there would be a demand for a minimalist phone with retro vibes but I guess the USA wants everything to be efficiently Spyware.

      They are being made by smaller companies, the problem is that the so-called “demand” always has excuses as to why they don’t buy them. It was the same with small phones - many people claimed to want them yet the sales didn’t reflect that.

        As someone who held on to the Pixel 4a for as long as possible, I feel like my demand should have been felt. Can’t speak for others.

          Unfortunately buying is a much stronger signal than not buying. There could be many reasons why you didn’t buy a new phone vs the one reason you did buy a phone - you like it the most given your budget.
