Having titanium rails for super strength to protect your phone BUT also having a glass back is the biggest contradiction on the S25 Ultra.
Why do we still need phone cases in a time when smartphones are putting titanium bodies on it?🤦🏾

Of the richest 1% in the UK, only 28% of them pay any Income Tax at all.
The richest do not work, they are Billionaires and Landlords and all their wealth is registered in tax havens and all their profits go there.
Stop repeating the lie that the richest pay tax, they don't.

When I reviewed the Live AI feature for the Meta glasses, I was flippant in my framing. Grateful for the low-vision and blind readers who challenged me to revisit this from their perspective.
