man . security support for my phone is ending this year . guess i have to drag my feet and get a new one

i want to avoid ai bullshit but also everything that is too old to have it has its security support ending in a year or two. which will just leave me with the same problem once again . hell on earth

i have until october at least,

i think that if you decide to give a phone 8 gigs of ram and delegate 2 of those to ai permanently that wild dogs should be let loose in your house

2 gigs to ai permanently????

YEAH. the newest samsung phones have two gigs delegated to the ai and if you deactivate that ai or refuse to use it, there's no way to make use of that ram

it makes me feel insane genuinely

what the hell ass fuck

YEAH. its WILD

i cannot wait for this trend to end and implode horribly. i just want the stupidest phone that can legally be called a smart phone that isn't ending security support seconds after i finish paying it off LMFAO

i might just have to suck it up though

I'd rather take the risk of being without security support frankly

"we have dedicated a quarter of your RAM to perpetuating a security vulnerability"

might as well risk the hackers

LMFAO yeah fair

at that point i wouldn't buy samsung if that's what they're forcing

there are plenty of good affordable competitors

tbh i haven't bought samsung for forever because of their battery issues

my thing is that it seems to be across most phone brands. and im limited to what my carrier has because i really don't have the money to drop on a phone all at once. i have loads of time to do research ofc

i just looked at samsung first because i've had their phones longest and really do like my current phone

im also not opposed totally to switching carriers so i can def shop around more!!

I've found Google fi really good for me as a low data user but your usage may vary

that's fair! unfortunately i am on a small island in canada, so it may not be available here, but i'll definitely take a look!!!!
