I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled it. Fixed it. If you don't want to uninstall, set a timer for 0 minutes a day, if you have that feature.

Timers a fantastic idea that I also use when I need to get some work done but otherwise deleting the app completely is impossible, how else am I going to watch easy German or MIT lecture videos?

You can get a screen time app that tracks and can limit the amount of time spent on specific apps

So turn on your limiter if you want to spend less time

Ahhh I wanted to make a joke about my calculator usage!!! I use YouTube for lessons!!

[–] FireRetardant 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, thats actually a realistic number for me as i use my calculator for work, finances, and some games too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uuu which games require a calculator?

[–] FireRetardant 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Real time strategy and stuff. If i get a 15% bonus to a resource, sometimes i wanna know how much per turn that bonus is worth. Or in games like rimworld I'll do things like meals X #ofcolonists X number of days storage X 2meals per day. You could also do the same in RPGs while trying to decide what gear/perks gives you the best stats.

If you need a calculator for rimworld you may be far too gone but respect the grind

Its super useful, like how many dusters can I make out of this stack of 680 textiles? Or how many farming tiles minimum should i have per colonist or animal, how much pemmican for a caravan, i can get rough idea in my head but sometimes for bills or if you're short on labor being exact is nice.
