Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I went to OnePlus for a while, then the one Samsung, then to the Pixel. The Samsung was a fantastic specced phone but man was the samsung stuff annoying. A "Bixby" voice assistant button that you can't disable or assign to another function (luckily you could change bixby to a double tap and use single tap for something else). All these AR apps you can't uninstall, a Samsung Store, a required samsung account as well as google account. Regular notifications saying you need to accept the new Samsung terms and conditions.

Having the Pixel with GrapheneOS has it's quirks and definitely isn't for everyone, but it's been refreshing having a phone that needs zero accounts to work.
