Like your cellphone manufacturer and your cell service provider both get to make random changes to how the phone works which as far as I can tell means there is no ground truth on how any of these phones work?

Both my 77 year-old parents have android phones which means Iā€™m constantly being asked to figure out whatā€™s happening with their phones and as far as I can tell the android infrastructure is a fucking hellscape.

I asked for my package to be held at a local business and as far as I can tell, they dropped it off there on Thursday, but then *picked it back up* on Friday and have been trying to redeliver it back to the business but they donā€™t accept fedex deliveries on the weekend?
