Samsung Android

The Samsung Galaxy S10 phones will let you remap the Bixby button, well, sort of. You can’t completely evict the Samsung digital assistant, but what you can do is assign an app of your choice to the button.

So, it’s not perfect, but those of you who hate the maligned digital assistant can at least get some utility out of the key. It’s not clear if the Galaxy S9 and Note9 will get a similar option in a future update.

How ironic and hilarious of you to be calling Bixby, which offers the user the choice of personalizing content, a useless spyware. Yet I bet you're proudly using the scroogle assistant or siri, both of which come from organizations that are under scr...
