    This is why I no longer buy Samsung products. They have a history of doing this and other shady behavior.

      +1. I bought a high end Samsung tablet. In less than a year they disabled the IR app completely. Their customer support said too bad & fuck you.

      Last Samsung I’ll ever buy.

      That’s Louis Rossman, basically the head of the right to repair movement (nobody’s really the head but for most intents and purposes it’s this guy)

      If you support the right to repair, or even if you don’t, it wouldn’t hurt to look into his stuff

        Okay but I see him in a lot of tech related posts lately, also not about right to repair.

          He also runs a tech repair shop in New York, I could see him being in a lot of tech stuff you’re seeing

                A year or two ago I think. He sold it off and opened a new shop in Texas after becoming sick and tired of dealing with red tape in NYC, paying fees and taxes etc.

                  Yeah this is pretty much him. Sounds great at first glance but if you spend any time with him he’s just another techbro libertarian that thinks he’s saving the world. His content is miserable sensationalism that leans so hard on the negative that I genuinely get depressed watching it now. I can’t take anything he says at face value, it all feels cynical or coded libertarianist nonsense now.

        Fully support this guy and all his efforts but I’m really tired of seeing that face.

          Hi Shepard, shitty life pro tip … Just close your eyes when you play his videos, like a Krogran blindly running into battle.

      He has a youtube channel that talks about the latest developments in the tech industry. Seems a lot of people like his videos. Its not an “issue” unless you make it one

    Next time someone comes across a libertarian, add this to your long list of examples as to why the ideology is a terrible idea and present it.

        i will try graphene…

        i’ve had issues where my screen goes dark during calls and i can’t wake it up, when calls come thru, i don’t see the caller id until like 3rd or 4th ring, people can’t hear me when on speaker, it chooses what volume different apps chime in at ( this has gotten me in serious trouble with alarms)

          Good luck! I’m on Calyx but I know plenty use graphene as well.

          That sounds like a bit of a buggy mess you have had. If you don’t feel like swapping OS, you may be able to fix the issue just by downloading a different phone app.
