Along with a bunch of other non-game apps I don't need or want. I also now have to go through the settings for every app and reset permissions and notifications to none/minimum. Best of all, my battery life has somehow just dropped by about 30-50%.

I member having a flip phone with a 3 day battery, and no apps. Those were good times, and they weren't even that long ago.

Edit: HBO Max is apparently now on my phone, and it won't let me uninstall it. 110 when?

Apple? Lol, I don't really have to ask. It's one of the many reasons to not use crapple.

I don't get why people buy huge massive 4 x 4 trucks with leather, power everything, lift it and only drive it on city streets. No dirt every touches it, or needs to, and nothing is ever loaded in the bed.

It takes two probies and a hose truck, the groceries fit on the floor and in between the seats because you left the gear back at the fire house.

Get the damn nose strips, you're waking the rest of them up.

A few years back, I took my old family household phone from the 90s, plugged it in, and proceded to record all of the saved answering machine messages. In that hour, I heard messages from family members that have been long gone for many years.

Emailed the recording to my siblings.

I've recorded business calls for well over 20 years so anyone who called my office, on business or otherwise got recorded. Shortly after my Dad passed I realized I had hours of our conversations recorded. It was a mixed blessing. I also sent them to my siblings but couldn't listen as it was too painful. I'd guess if I listened today it would be the same although it's been years since he's been gone.

I have the same for my mother but avoid listening for the same reasons. Perhaps some things we are not meant to dwell on for too long.

Kinda reminds me of some green txt i once saw - a guy fished out his old ps2 he had as a kid and on it was his dead Father's saved games including one of the early gran turismos which has the ghost car of the players fastest lap (his father) that challenges you each race until you beat it - so basically, he could race against his dead dad (as long as he made sure to never actually beat it over the finish line).
Good times.

If it's a network branded phone there is probably an app installing those apps.
