I am using the Samsung S8 and until I was alerted to this thread I had forgotten about Bixby. Maybe we have got rid of it in the UK. Like, fingers crossed, that virus!

For your sake, hopefully so.

Just yesterday I was playing a podcast on my wife's phone so we could finish listening while watching the fireflies come out. I hit the Bixby button by mistake, and as usual, the phone asked if I wanted to "upgrade" Bixby. Happens every time.

5g is £33 per month from o2 so I'll do without. Currently I pay £12 and it 'works'.

Yes, it's odd that US telecomm provider Verizon advertises 5G heavily, but they never say what it's good for. Obviously it's good for them to charge higher fees. AFAICT it's only good for consumers when in a crowded location, such as a sports stadium, where many concurrent sessions overwhelm 4G bandwidth.

I'm starting to use Siri on my Macbook. The Google woman is rather annoying with her "here ya go" answers. Siri seems low key, and for that reason preferable if the Macbook is open.
