"I dont use that, so this guy doesn't know how to work computers".

You guys are insufferable. Enjoy your Linux. Love seeing you guys bitch on every software launch for a Linux release lmao.

Adobe Suite?

Affinity Suite?

Proton Drive?

Editing in Davinci? (free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux cannot playback any H.264 or H.265 video, and the free and paid version cannot playback AAC audio on Linux..)

You know, anything productive?

Any kind of productivity is stopping me.

I think you're mistaken, because the app that's broken, is One Touch, which just syncs your results to your phone, to allow your doctor to view them. It doesn't notify you of highs or lows.

The freestyle libre 2/3 do, and they aren't broken on Android 14.

So it's just straight up incompetence.

Asked assistant to turn off basement light and instead it turned ON "10 gallon aquarium heater".

However it heard that, no idea.

My girlfriend was cleaning her tank, and the water level was below the heater. I was somewhere else in the house, and so she never noticed, and within 60 seconds the thing shattered from being turned on and not submerged.

and RIP to anyone who invested thousands into them. Those lights were NOT cheap.

I was forced to move (landlord sold house) and when I got to my new place, I just never got around to setting up any of my smart home devices. Thermostat, cameras, lights, assistants, sensors, monitors, etc, and weirdly enough I am somehow happier now.

The random issues, glitches, delays between asking an assistant/pressing buttons before an action went through, fixing integrations, fixing Home Assistant, fixing random unpairs, etc. was driving me nuts. Especially when you have invested hundreds/thousands of dollars into premium devices.

Worst was when you'd ask assistant to do something, and it somehow misheard you and does something else. Fried an aquarium thermometer that way. Turned on ALL lights when everyone was sleeping, despite me asking to turn OFF a very specific light..

The only thing I truly miss is being able to turn off my bedroom light when I am in bed. But the stress I save is worth getting up and turning it off.

You're saying I am stupid and wrong, when you're literally wrong. Downloading an app on ANDROID that gives you a feature, is quite literally the definition of a FEATURE of ANDROID.

You must be confusing the word native with feature, which just makes you look "stupid and wrong", to quote you.

Well by "parts of your phone", I mean calling/texting, and seeing notifications. The things I can't really do without my phone. Most other things I can do via a web browser.

If you have certain Microsoft Duo, Samsung, and HONOR phones, you can access apps, but then again that's a moot point since this is about using your phone as a webcam in Android 14, which is currently only a Pixel thing.

I haven't tried Phone Link since it launched, so I am unsure how good it is, but I am going to be optimistic lol.

Computer manufacturers don't care, though lol

Not the point. Crypto injection links shouldn't be sneakily added into a "privacy" oriented browser.

However, you never provided any proof that DDG censors and sells user data. You've made big claims, but didn't back them.
