Don't mind me. I'm just kidding. It's a Douglas Adams reference.

I'm tired of being badgered by my phonepeople over useless nonsense. Go away Samsungpeople.

It's not always just the device, it's the people who so casually interrupt me providing nothing of value. My retired, narcissistic, idiot, brother-in-law is my chief interruptor, costing me roughly 5 hours/week of prime working hours. He says that I need a break, expecting a thank you. X|

Its the Elbonians. :) I am somewhat locked into an iPhone due to hearing aid app. Fortunately, I get the iPhones free via hand-me-down. Other than prompting me to set up Apple pay once or twice a week (not gonna happen on my watch), it pretty much leaves me alone. I have an agreement with it. I don't bother Siri and she doesn't bother me.

Isn't Android open source? I wonder if it could be tweaked so these crap Samsung notifications could be disabled. They're currently immune, so they also spam me daily with puerile games and other shite to install.

Settings > Notifications > App Notifications gives you reasonably fine control over what may or may not bug you.

Some apps, notably Samsung and Google apps on a Samsung phone, cannot have notification disabled. All of your mobiles are belong to us so we can spam you when we please!

Exactly. Why send an email when you can message and interrupt people’s flow, even when they have status as “Busy” or “In a meeting”.
