    Tangentially related, but I’ve had a “Tap here to accept the Samsung terms of service” notification for years now. I always swipe it away. I swear they always show it right after I had a bunch of other notifications to make me more likely to tap it. I have thus made it my life’s mission to never accept it.

          Oh, originally it was because the ads and trash on their smart TVs. But then I keep hearing about build quality on appliances so I expanded the scope beyond TVs to everything. This phone thing is just another example of anti-consumer practices (though not as bad as some of the others).

      When I had a Samsung they’d always pop that up when I was driving and needed to access the GPS, so I never had time to actually see what it was trying to make me agree to, and it wouldn’t let me proceed until I did it. That’s actually one of the reasons I switched off of Samsung products.
