I feel like Cosmo has a quest for me

As a background ear-worm task, my brain is trying to invent lyrics for "Brown Hole Sun"

Oh, so that's why all the emails from amazon.com have suddenly become absolutely fucking useless. They don't like that the specific information in my inbox about what I bought can be used by 3rd party apps to track my purchases. (Or, like, you know, used by my own two eyes.)

A problem I was having with my iPhone and now with my Android phone: Occasionally it decides my volume is too high. On iPhone, it would just notify. On Android, it literally turns it down.

Problem is, I have a really shitty cheap earbud that's probably not long for this world because I abuse it. It needs the volume quite high to actually be useful. So, I'm always wrestling with my phone's idea of what loud is and I'd really just rather it butt out :blobugh:

Just got an email from a recruiter saying he's seen my resume and I'd be a great fit for a Crew Member position at Five Guys. And I'm like... is this insult or prophecy? :thinknyan:

@krisfreedain Yeah, this seems rather new. I've got a Pixel 10, can't find any accessibility setting for it. Seems to come from "system" rather than any particular app. Bits of googling I've done about the message seem to suggest it could be disabled on a rooted phone, but no off switch otherwise

ope, now the fridge (also a samsung) also sent me an alert about the new phone. that's when I reached for my revolver

@twobraids Not yet, but I do know my CPAP machine has a modem in it, so it's just a matter of time
