I assume this has changed with the modern releases then? My S10 had a ton of non-removable apps, primarily those from Samsung.

There's really only a couple of things I missed from the S10 on my P7:

  • The edge panel (ended up using Panels
  • A tile to toggle ringer/vibrate/silent in the notification shade
    • I've gotten used to it now, but still prefer the way it's handled in OneUI

I had the same problem with Fallen Order the first day; the workaround in that particular case was to launch the game's executable directly; which let me play that one, single time. A few days later and both the original workaround (and others) & no-workarounds caused the game to launch in the background, with no way to force it to the foreground.

In Fallen Order's case specifically; there appeared to be a launcher-specific wrapper executable, and the game itself. When the workaround stopped working, the launcher-specific wrapper is what was getting ran in the background; but the game itself never actually appeared. Additionally, reinstalling the game several times did not resolve any issue; nor other troubleshooting steps from EA.

Origin was also a pretty crap piece of software (compared to Steam, anyway); but this is a new low from EA, imo. Its a shame too, because I liked what I got to see in Fallen Order, especially recently getting into souls games.

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week -- completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn't work for some people).

Are you also managing AD or other services in Linux to make PS more viable, or just in general?

We didn't get a video, but my first employer (Food Lion, a grocery store) did give us almost an identical spiel about once a year as "mandatory training".

For me, once I prove the username/password and tap "Login", a third box appears asking for the MFA code

Part of the difficulty may have also been because it was my first foray into Android... at the moment I don't have a specific example, but I seem to remember setting defaults was straight-forward; but either they were not always respected by certain interaction prompts, or some similar behavior.

As for GMail, I'm also no longer using the app and instead have opted for Spark (personal mailboxes) & Outlook (exchange, work)...

I've just recently switched from a Galaxy S10 to a Pixel 7 as I wanted to see the "vanilla" experience, as well as be closer to upstream for software updates. My S10 still works great, though the battery needs replacement (at the time, it had already broken the glue on the back glass and was still expanding -- didn't realize until I took it out of the case for cleaning)...

With my S10, I had to really fight to get it to let me use Google's apps over the Samsung ones; which whole annoying is doable. So far, the only things I really miss from Samsung (and notably the UX):

  • The sidebar/panel with an additional set of predefined apps
  • The volume/silent switch in the notification shade
  • The Bixby button (for custom actions)
  • Physically smaller phone, but that's not a huge deal

Overall, I'm happy with the experience so far; though I dunno if the "Pro" model of anything is really worth it.

Not sure what MFA provider you're using, but worked fine for my account with GAuth. Though, I'm currently trailing both Sync and Boost (the latter was my preferred reddit client)

I've stopped using it on mobile entirely, but still use Reddit for some communities like r/bash and the like, or otherwise things related to my job -- though, only on desktop.

That said, I'd like to fully move off of the platform eventually.

Well anti-trust would get in the way of profits, you see

Based on the article's admittedly poorly-wordered description, it sounds like the former. I think they were the would-be electors had Trump won the state -- when called to the state's GOP HQ, they signed a document claiming to have met in the state capitol, though they had not. When that certificate was submitted, that's when the alleged fraud took place.

Note: IANAL, just trying to decipher the article
