    Point Of Sale, a generic term for everything that functions these days as a cash register did in the last. Typically has to be computerized to be a POS

    MDM, mobile device management. What corps do to keep people from doing things to devices that the corp doesn’t want done. Company issued mobile phones might use this, but so would a POS company since they wouldn’t want people installing games on a cash register.

    I thought you were calling it a POS but when I looked it up its actually a POS

    ...only 4?

    wanna bet it goes past 'mildly' before they take care of it?

    I use a different POS at work but has a similar issue. You can swipe down from the top of the screen just like a phone to see notifications but the swipe down spot is very small and not in the center. For me, its middle left of center. Maybe yours is similar?

    Those notifications will pile up and have you looking like a boomer in no time!

    Boomer?

    Every millenial's phone I've seen has a million notifications.

    It's weird to me.

    I guess I see the boomer as the gold standard. Notifications as far as the eye can see, noises dinging nonstop, 10000 browser tabs open. Last reboot: 2023 when their nephew made them do it.

  • Absolutely. I got a Nothing Phone for my dad a year ago and he has never updated it. Still running on NothingOS 2.x while they already released 3.x with tons of new features.

    But he made sure to set up really loud and obnoxious ringtones. Never change. :D

    Put a strip of tape across the top of the screen.

    We have company issued android phones with bluetooth headsets while on-premises (they work as ptt radios between staff, and they're linked to the business phone so we can directly answer calls for our departments.).

    There's like 7 locked notifications and it regularly plays notification sounds but very very rarely displays any notifications that are actually relevant to you.

    Finally it automatically logs you out after exactly 8hrs, even if you're actively typing/using the device. Shifts are 8.5-9hrs including lunch.

    Can you ask the Android equivalent of Siri to “show me my notifications”?

    So ignore them, problem solved.

    Shizuku+Canta could probably get rid of them.

    Have you ever asked yourself why your so bothered by it, and if it’s worth being bothered by it?
