FUCK YOU, GOOGLE! Just bought a new phone with Android 12...

Ah ha, I thought. Lots of good new stuff. What I found out is the teenage wonderkinden at Google can't just leave well enough alone.

I set up my home page the way I like it and it disappears.

Some email disappears.

I can't change my default search engine. Google is all.

No idea where the downloaded file system is hiding. I download a book or mag article and it disappears unless it's a gif.

Things pop up when and where I don't expect them and I can't get back to where I was.

Myriad other aggravations making my life "easier".

Worse than any other OS imaginable.

1. Personally

I avoid Google like the plague.

2. Can you use your charger cord and plug into another device

like you would to transfer pics? If you can do that, you might be able to see your file system, and see how it's laid out. Good luck!

4. I've tried. I'll try dome more. With an adapter plug a mouse or external...

memory works.

5. There's a computer & Internet topic post

here on DU. I've gotten a lot of help from them over the years.
