Much of what @jp2e.bsky.social writes about how Alexa misperforms sounds sooo much like my headache with the Google Assistant/Gemini/Whatever. What a messy transition all around! www.theverge.com/report/78717...

It feels a bit unusual to post about foldables in the midst of everything, but this is what I do. I cover phones.

One thing I never do when I review Samsung devices is use the default theme. I always go into the Galaxy Apps store and seek the new Sanrio skins
