    Deadass laid off like 20,000 employees over 3 years while they retained the FART BUTTON team.

    $2.99 for triggering one remote fart of another user’s device. 4 pack for $9.99. Google One, YT Premium, and Fi users get 5 farts free per month (best value).

    It would be better than the Samsung Bixby button. At least I would be amused when I accidentally press it instead of annoyed.

      There is no Bixby button any longer. There is a configurable side button. On my S22 it’s set to act as power button.

      The Bixby button was okay when you remapped it to something useful, but Samsung kept going out of their way to break the remapping tools. Heaven forbid people use their phones they way they want to.

          They should have built it better then. I wanted to use it, but it was pretty janky.

      To be fair this may be one of the most significant feature for a major phone OS in a few years. At least they are trying something.

        What are you talking about? Apple was the first company to do this back on the iPhone 19+ released in 2028
