So this just happened. I was watching a Battlestar Galactica reaction video on Youtube, and there's this scene where Leoben (a Cylon) tells Starbuck "Do you realize I could kill you before they came back in the room..." and my WATCH heard that, and responded with (roughly) "Here are some capsules that could help you with that." !!!! WTF Samsung ?! #ScaryAI is a fan of BSG's Cylons.
So today when I get home, I'm gonna try resetting my Samsung phone, and seeing if that fixes the Google Assistant issue. Better than spending another $500 or so on another phone right now.

Same thing with Mac and Linux, although with WSL and Homebrew I don't feel the call of the foss as much anymore. Gosh I wish I could be one of the normal blind people that are just happy with their iPhones and don't even think a thought about Android. Sometimes.

Awww that sucks Kaiju! Ugh I'm already wanting to upgrade my iPhone this year, I don't want to have to get a Pixel or new Galaxy too! And then if I do get a Pixel, my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro is useless! I think. Ugh sucks so much!
I hope this is not considered a low-effort post, but I wanted to ask if using stock Android without signing in to your Google account/ using Play Store is worth it. It should be more private, right? I’m planning on buying the cheapest Samsung phone there is (probably the A14). I currently have a stock Android Oneplus phone. I...
