Before switching to a note 8, I thought Bixby was dumb too, especially the name Bixby... but having used it for a month, I actually find myself using Bixby regularly.
Use cases: Program custom commands!
When I get to work, I say: "Hi Bixby, work."
Bixby chains the following commands together
1. turns on WiFi
2. turns off Bluetooth
3. changes my phone to vibrate mode
4. turns on smart unlock - when it's in motion near me, the phone does not auto-lock after 1min
5. brings up stocks and my work calendar
Honestly, competition is healthy, and that's why I hop between ios and android back and forth when they come up with something that makes my workflow/life easier. I just don't understand the blind brand loyalty and all the nonsensical bashing with 0 knowledge of how the thing works. It just shows how ignorant/uneducated/stupid you are....
Edit: I drive a porsche cayman, but I honestly haven't seen anyone hostile on the porsche forums towards people who bring up other brands like Maserati, Mercedes-AMG, BMW..etc. Like, what's the deal with smartphones?
