I literally just said the name changed but the form remains the same.
The topic was the time. Something people actually use everyday. But ok.

Beam is not discontinued. The name might have changed, but it's still very much active.
I just used a few moments ago to send plans to my work crew.
Honestly though, I don't use either method enough to have it be a feature that makes me throw it in the trash.
Stay on topic.

You have beam.
And Bluetooth sharing is native now. Has been since the s5.

I'm tempted to go back to Android. I just have no reason to buy a new phone atp, hence why I'm still on a 6 year old phone.
I will set the alarms on my iPhone 7+ and my S8... and then spend the rest of the night on my S8 until its time to go to bed. :\
I really like my Android <3

Some of us don't have 9-5 work schedules.
I went to work today at 1534, and I'll go to work tomorrow at 1555. The day after that, I go to work at 1600.
When you turn on the alarm in Android, it literally says "Alarm will go off 8 hours and 8 minutes." It gives nice and direct time management. I can stay up for an extra hour, and then go to bed.

Yeah... but that's native in Android.
I gotta get an app for something that's native?

Here's my alarms on iOS. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIvzbJj6YX/

It's insane in the winter esp on the E line. The E doesn't go above ground.
When I was a conductor... In 2019, it was a bad winter so my operating position was full of just homeless people. The smell was vicious. I have Vicks in my bag for this reason.
Left Parsons (Jamaica center) and got world trade... No one left the train.
In the morning (I worked the midnights), you had the regular riding crowd running from car to car from either the smell or looking for a seat.
When I went to operator in 2020... Many people lost their homes or were thrown out during covid... So I'd get to Far Rockaway and see whole train cars still full and just full of families. Parents with their kids... Etc. It was distressing. ☹️
It's still pretty bad today, thankfully no families so I hope they are ok, but a lot of single men with addiction issues.

When I was a conductor, and the A/C was still running R32 and the J was still running R42 (I'm not that old 🥺... I got that job when I was like 25 😭) you used to have to walk between cars to get to the control panel on the other side.
Mind you, I had to do this rain or snow. And the trains had holes in the operating positions to the point where you could see outside. Going from Howard Beach to Broad Channel those old rickety tin cans was not fun.
There are hand holds between cars to hold on to to make sure you don't slip or fall. Keep three points on contact, and you'll be fine. Secure all your items to you.
But if you feel dizzy, don't do it.

I believe it. I live in the same city, and I operate those trains.
We have a serious homeless and mental illness problem.
A homeless man stood in front of my A train at W 4 telling me was going to kill himself if people didn't give him money and someone on the platform told him to hurry up.
I had released the brakes and I was getting ready to take power when he hopped down like this was just something to do.
Held us up for an hour.

For the R46 which is the main A train model and the R68 and R68A which are found on the B and D...
The cars are 75 ft, so when it goes around a curve, you can be thrown off the train and we don't do curves gently.
So the doors are locked.
I remember the last few months of 2021 and 2020 were just people getting run over by trains after they fell in between cars.

Oh #4.
When I connect my S8 to my Google Home Mini... I get an extra bar for volume control on the mini, the ringer, and phone media.
