The more I use Kitkat, the more I wish I'd stuck with Apple. The list of things this "OS" (and yes, I'm using the quotes on purpose) screwed up is legion, and I've written about them elsewhere. Today I discovered something new.
On my Samsung Tablet (Note 8 -- which used to work until AT&T f'd me over by forcing kitkat onto it and turning it into a slow, bloated POS), I used to be able use an adapter to push and retrieve information to a USB stick. GUESS what I can't do anymore.
Now the thing is recognized as a USB device, but, of course, KitKat says it's incorrectly formatted. Um, no. It isn't. USB sticks generally don't use a *nix OS on them because most people don't have *nix on their laptop and computers.
Please, PLEASE, if the only thing you have to say talks about security, just don't. It's not only not helpful, but completely false.
Anyway, has anyone figured out how to get this to work, or is it yet ANOTHER piece of functionality that the AT&T/Google consortium has stolen from me?
