People out buying $50-200 Bluetooth speakers or smart speakers... I just picked up a set of these for $15, put it together with an old phone that has a 3.5mm jack and boom (literally) huge sound for under $20. Plus no phone calls interrupting the music, no Al*xa no Goo**e assistant, no pairing.

i cannot believe most of the world uses the garbage that is whatsapp as their main communications app.
it will not stop harassing to give it access to contacts and photos and location like what a nightmare.

Phones with OLED screens finally becoming mainstream/affordable, making it possible to make the black bars truly black and invisible in the dark.
YouTube: enables *ambient mode* so you can see the notch/hole punch in your display better.

Remember the flashbacks at the beginning of The Handmaid‘s Tale, where the main character saw the signs that the United States was morphing into a freedom – suffocating authoritarian country?

Ahh nothing like a Monday network outage to get the week started. Doubly so when the network vendor also has an outage at the same time.

we all lived just fine without social media twenty years ago, but now some people want us to believe we have to let self-interested companies do whatever they want, regardless of the social harm, because stopping them would mean robbing us of “free speech” and our rights. give me a fucking break.

If you take a moment and think about how insane phone cases are… a product that you spend hundreds or thousands on and it can’t handle daily use without a case. Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that their future cell phone would need a protective case. And that it would cost over $1000 lol.

After Israel slaughtered several Al Jazeera journalists, I asked the foreign affairs minister's office whether Canada intends to take action.
Their response made me, as a journalist, feel sick.
They pointed me to a tweet repost. One with a grammatical error.
It didn't even name Israel:
