I’ll give this a look, but I worry the files I would like to sync won’t be available for some with how random the file access is from app to app.

Despite having an iPad Pro I would say my S23U is more advanced than my iPadOS. My S23U has better external monitor support for one, and file system makes it much closer to actually feeling like a computer over my tablet. Then there’s not needing to use stuff like the Alt store to side load. And apps like syncthing make iOS/iPadOS limitations so apparent with how files sync seamlessly across my Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android devices while my iPadOS is the black sheep in that department with the limited file access when trying out syncthing equivalent apps.
Apple is a very restrictive mobile that just doesn’t have great compatibility for anything that isn’t Apple. That it doesn’t let it be advanced despite the powerful chip becomes really apparent if you try to do anything more than try and use it outside Apple devices, use external monitors, or even want to split screen when it comes to iOS.
One thing it has going for it though is long term updates, but my iPad is pretty an expensive glorified comic book reader most of the time now. I found myself wishing iPadOS had the equivalent of edge panels and one hand operations+ so I could just navigate more easily without having to do full hand gestures.
I hate that Google doesn’t even alert you through email if they delist an app you paid for and also remove it from being installable.
I would miss the ability to multitask by split screening apps or doing floating app with my S23U. I would miss my spen which I use to take quick notes, and then can slot back into the phone which even the iPad Pros can’t do. I would miss having a non Safari browser like Firefox and its addons. I would miss the easy access to foss apps like NewPipe, and apps not allowed on the Apple store like tachiyomi, emulators, and torrent clients. I would miss that syncthing type apps don’t properly work for syncing across different platforms. I would miss the launcher, since I’m not a fan of Apple launcher and app library aesthetics. I would miss the Android folder system’s easy access to everything in there compared to the iPhone. I would miss one hand operation+ method of navigating over Apple gestures.
I would like the long term updates of the iPhone though. Using the iPad though made me never want to get an iPhone.
Once bots are teaching the next generation of people it’ll be harder to tell the difference. Muhahaha
Random people holding a camera with one hand while awkwardly trying to record them going through their phone with the other hand has been more useful lot of times for answering questions I had.
I’m not subscribed to anymore phone youtubers anymore for probably that reason. At the height of Android youtube I was subscribed to MKBHD when the tech was fresh exciting, and then subscribed to people doing custom roms or app recommendations.
But, now days when it comes to tech youtubers I prefer ones that at least go through the motions of seeming like they are being objective like Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed or Digital Foundry by putting on a show of testing different configurations and so on. Lot of other tech youtubers just feel more like adverts lot of times with how shallow the presentation is, so whether product is recommended or not feels more like the purpose is to just get the brand out to viewers.
Which becomes really noticeable when they cover a product that you do actually use and watch their review on, and see how much stuff they glossed over with really the main highlight being nice cinematography. Videos aren’t even straight to the point and short either, which is really part of why I stopped watching lot of them. If they at least were more straightforward and brief 2-3 minute overviews it’d be fine, but now they all push 10 minutes and over so waste your time.
I’ve gone so long without ads I am unaware of the concept of being fine with ads. It’s too unfamiliar an experience now.
Tip I have is to adjust the angles to one that makes it feel most consistent to you for the up and down gestures. You can also set up long swipes too for where if you swipe a little further until you feel a haptics you can have it do stuff like make it show a mini quick tools so you don’t have to reach up and pull the status bar down to access them.
It’s pretty useful and you can have it behave differently for the left and right side so have lot of different actions available.
Try one hand operation + in good lock. Currently my favorite gesture system, since I don’t even have to reach down and can activate multiple actions from the side.
It would help if there was unique animations each time, but it’s the same exact movement that makes it get tiresome.
I got a zero weight mod so I wouldn’t need to bother with inventory management.
Games that give you rapid and fun ways to travel have been ones that I’ve actually not found tedious to get from point a to point b. Methods I’ve like have been blink (teleporting short distances), grapple hook, super speed, flying, etc.
But, just old fashioned running or driving gets stale fast.
I don’t see them saying they don’t tip, but arguing against the system in place. Which are two separate things.
Yeah, people don’t likes hidden charges or surprise fees. It’s “optional” but not really if you want to be a part of society.
I’d rather have that. Why is responsibility of covering wages shifting to the customer? And in return the blame? Sounds like a situation those in charge love, since instead of them being the bad guy they get to say “what an asshole customer right?” it’s their fault your take home pay is lower today.
Hiding behind the customer going darn then it’s out of my hands. Don’t got money to spare. Then they hop in their expensive car and drive to their expensive home instead of them being the ones to pay a proper wage for their employees.
Sounds like a misleading system all around.
Having something built in is so much better than needing a dongle. There’s a reason why even Apple brought back ports like hdmi and sd card slot to their Mac book pro line to eliminate even the needing a dongle for some people.
If price isn’t good then people aren’t going to go out of their way to pay for specific features. And then they only seem to support their phones for two years.

So if price and update support fall short it’s not something even enthusiasts will be drawn to just because of one hardware feature they want.
Yeah, Samsung one I think only relies on Samsung, so one that works off all Android would make it an easy option. Otherwise, air tag depending on the region seems like it has the most coverage.
Samsung s23 ultra is my first Samsung and despite having come from Pixels and Oneplus I found I actually liked the Samsung stuff like edge panel, one hand plus+ operation, and sound assistant. All the good lock additions was like getting custom rom features. Find it hard to consider a phone without something like the Spen too now, since I use it to take notes and select text.
