apple keeps giving me signs to switch

i wanted to give my brain stimulation, and i already changed my time to military a few years ago, so i thought the obvious next step is to try a new phone ecosystem, since i was already noticing a few slips with iOS. i’ve researched into the zflip and am in LOVE!!! anyway, now my iOS phone is really giving me all the reasons why the switch needs to happen.

- my phone freezes all the time

- i use Live Caption constantly and it stops working when it freezes all the time and i have to restart my phone

- today i placed an order, and i pasted my new address in. Address, city, state was correct, then i put the order through and my address city changed to San Diego. Girrrrrl, im in colorado???? you just said Denver???? freaked me out, got it handled.

- when i go to look at the media ive shared with messages contacts, there is literally LOADS of photos missing that i can only see when i scroll back via our conversation

- it is starting to not register first time taps!!! Oi.

anyway, i just can’t wait to make the Galaxy switch. December, come faster.

bonus: this shittake happening with the camera.

edit: iPhone 16 pro iOS 26.5

my janky DIY-padded brakes

made with baby-proofing squishy clear tape and black duct tape over it. my right brake is a bit further from the tire, so when it is equipped, it’s just.. skimming the surface of my wheel. while the left is normal. so thats why the left (second pic) is so messed up. my chair is 23 years of age, and came with original brakes. the pads were worn as hell and i thought, “why get a new brake? i can McGyver this!”

this miiight not belong here, but vent:

everyone thought i was being weird bc i hugged a guy, but it was cuz i, a crutch user, a disabled person, stepped wayyyy off balance and had to correct myself, so i started laughing it off (my coping mechanism) thats why i was weird!!!!! then my dad said something i did not hear (also hard of hearing) and i assumed he asked if i was okay bc that’s what he does, so i said “i’m fine hahaha im okay” and EVERYONE thought i was supposedly not okay from hugging my STEP BROTHER that THEY THOUGHT I LIKED! get that heteronormative BS OUTTA YOUR HEADS!!!!!

real-time (live) caption apps for Galaxy?

i’ve searched this subreddit for the above question, and the answers are Otter.ai, Ava, and the built-in Samsung Live Caption. I’m currently on an iPhone, trying otter.ai free version but it doesn’t seem very real-time. the captions have a lag between when they are said vs. transcripted. i am comparing to Live Transcript on iOS. i went here from Ava bc i’ve had nothing but terrible experiences with Ava.

i’m moving to the Galaxy zflip 8 when it comes out and i was wondering a few things:

  1. what is your favorable live caption app? can you tell me why you like it?

  2. what is your experience with Samsung’s built-in captions?

  3. does anyone else have a zflip in this community?

thanks in advance, everyone!

this is my probably 4th or 5th rewatch of the show and Glenn giving Cheyenne paid suspension and the walkout still make me teary. I cannot cry bc hashtag antidepressants but i have the feeling of it. rewatches of this show is always like the first watch for me. the only thing i miss is seeing Jonah’s cringiness for the first time lmao

vent:

i have a wheelchair, a beautiful little Tilite TR with custom seperated footrests. i got it on craigslist for a good price, it fits me, well, i mean, it’s my size. Ish. i looked up the serial number, and it’s 23 years old! Anyway, i am really grateful for her (my chair), and i love her, but she was always going to be my “for now until i qualify for insurance-paid or save up for something customized to me.”

it is wonderful, but she is a tad too small for me, has no dump, which now that i’ve experienced through her, is a requirement for me to have some. the footrest angle is also too outward, and since its small for me, my feet are unable to sit comfortably on the footrests. without her, i would not know any of this, so learning it has been wonderful so i know what i need for the next one.

Anyway, how family factors in, in my passing time, i’ll be doing chair research, and my sister will come into my room and ill switch tabs quickly. or, i was telling my aunt what i was up to, researching chairs, and she said, “you’re going to get another wheelchair?” that response is why i switch tabs upon observation. cuz it’s something that i guess only makes sense to me, and to you all, too, probably. it’s not just because im greedy and want a new wheelchair, fam, it’s because this is just the next step. the craigslist chair is just part of a bigger plan. anyway, im just venting my frustrations. thanks for reading!
