Set up a simple external notification light for an Android device, great for elderly people
TLDR: if you already have some at home, Philips Hue can be used as a practical notification lamp
My mom likes her tablet, but finds it a chore to always have to check for notifications - she manages an airbnb, so fast reaction is often needed
- she's not around the device often, so sounds don't make much sense
- always on display is also not good, eats battery on cheaper devices (no OLED), you still need to get physically close, especially when the display lays flat, and you can't use a cover ...

What was the worst year for smartphones in recent memory?
In my opinion it has to be one between 2015 and 2018, esp. 2015-2017 for Samsung. They've upped their game since then. 2015 wasn't completely terrible, but it was a bit underwhelming coming from 2014 with a pretty solid array of smartphones and I didn't like the interface updates of the Samsung phones in 2015-2017. Them changing almost every ring tone for 2015/6 was bad as the 2013/14 era Samsung ringtones sounded better and more clear. But there were some important issues in those years:

Another (tiny but annoying) design mistake in Android 12
12 seconds video :

It seems completely insignificant, but this regularly tricks me into thinking that a new notification appeared in the taskbar. Nope, it's just one of the clock digits that went from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 2, or even from 9 to 0.
Alright, it's not the end of the world and this is nothing compared to the ridiculous padding/margins that have already been discussed many times, but I can't understand how such a basic mistake (and easily fixable with a sim...
