The world was bad, it will be worse thanks to LLM. Both things can (and IMO, are) be true at the same time.

Easiest is probably with a DNS firewall to block all Samsung traffic. I recommend NextDNS.

Next level would be using ADB to uninstall tipycally uninstallable-apps.

Final level would be replacing your stock Android with something like LineageOS or eOS. I have no experience with either of those, other than installing eOS to a friend, but I use GrapheneOS and it’s such a joy, I can’t imagine using any other Android ever.

My previous cellphone was a Samsung with stock Android and the difference with GrapheneOS is insane. I’m talking going Windows-to-Linux-levels of using software that isn’t constantly spitting on your face kind of insane.

Reading some comments have me in awe. 3 people live in our housr and we use 5 kWh, and that feels like a lot already. That’s with a gaming PC and a small server.

We cook with gas and have no AC, so maybe the difference with comments and OP it’s due to that, but still, wow.

They care about the average human

Just 2 months ago they were celebrating the death of inocent civilians in 9/11 as if it was a holiday.
