So do we. When the criminals running the operation are overseas hunting them down is a major law enforcement effort. While at least some of them do eventually end up with extended all expense paid stays in Club Fed. the allure of a easy millions keeps more cockroaches coming in to try their luck.

I think I saw that on my fresh S8+, only accept calls from people in your contact list. I rejected the option, who wants to miss an opportunity to twit a sales scammer.

Actually the ones I get are usually automated so yeah they get blocked.
I think I was blocked by Microsoft who found I had a problem with my laptop and wanted to help me fix it. I managed about 15 minutes before the poor sod realised I was baiting him.
Also the local wealth management for expat companies now avoid me as well.

Whenever "Microsoft" calls me about a problem with my computer, my first question for them is which one, as I explain to them I'm a software developer and I have about 10 physical machines, then laptops, tablets and phones, and on top of that maybe 60 additional VMs running various versions of Windows and Linux. They insist my computer has a unique ID, but then, they can't provide anything that matches any of my machines.
They never last very long and they are always the ones who hang up first. I guess this isn't in their script.

I inherited a small Xamarin Forms project last week. The 1st two times I tried opening it, VS displayed a busy notice in from the tray and appeared locked up long enough that I eventually end-tasked it. Try 3 I started and then wandered off to do something else for maybe 30 minutes and found the solution open and usable for the remainder of the day.
This morning it's been an hour and counting, ~20 minutes to load solution explorer and my recent files in the tab list. Another 45 doing something not even codethulu could explain.
Edit: Found the culpret, still no clue WTF its doing to slow that solutions loading speed from significantly less than a minute to in excess of 100 when I finally gave up and killed the process.

Note to self, start using 'Codethulu' in programs where summoning the ancient one is applicable. Preferably in a way where it could be written "WakeCodethulu()"

Sometimes emulators are incredibly slow, they maintain an image on the disk and do incredible amounts of disk operations. Try using SSD drives and generally upgrade your computer, or debug directly on some device.
And ditch Xamarin. It is the unholy curse of a company that recently shut down it's mobile device division.

That's because they know mobile is over. No one uses mobile devices any more.

Especially since you can get a Mac mini pretty cheap these days... which is beefy enough for a single dev to work on.

It's not the emulator that's the problem, it's opening the solution itself. It's also resharper that's going insane if turned on when opening the solution; it appears to work normally if I open the solution with it disabled and then turn it back on again. (Have you tried turning it off and back on?  )
Xamarin forms is on my employer's hate list, but is what the people who started the app used, we don't have money for a rewrite (go figure there). Xamarin with a shared backend and the native UI xamarin.ios and xamarin.android libraries is what my coworkers swear by for doing apps. I've not used either for real yet though.

Wait, a new version of VS is slower than the last... like it's been with every release for the past 20 years? Say it isn't so.

Eventually, MS will have to create a new OS just for VS devs.

For normal solutions its impact's much smaller than its benefits; something just went horribly wrong with it and xamarin (just this solution?????).

I use Resharper as well for most of my work. Every now an then a wacky project doesn't work well with it. In those cases, I just suspend it through the tools-->options--resharper.
...in case you didn't know already.
