I feel as though tech companies are subtly trying to get rid of power options on devices.
My old Samsung phone got an update that changed the power button into their AI assistant (whatever Samsung’s version of ChatGPT is that I can’t bother to look up the name of).
Like instead of bringing up the reboot/shutdown options when you long-press the power button, it would bring up Samsung’s AI assistant menu.
I mean I know it can be changed back in the settings, but it was yet another blatant example of companies forcing AI shit on their users who haven’t asked for it.
this started way back when we switched from AT to ATX psu/motherboards. the power button’s just been a software thing since then, the whole thing is always on basically.
youre talking about the Bixby button. Newer samsungs dont have that, not as a separate button anyways. my s24 has a power button and that’s all it does. it lets me disable Bixby.
