Tips on having no allegiance to any brand.

I remember growing up where my dad wouldn't buy any vehicle that wasn't a Chevy and I thought that sort of blind allegiance to a brand was silly until I realized I was doing it with smartphones.

Now-a-days even cheap phones have crazy features that we only thought we'd see in flagships from particular brands.

Here are some tips that will help you escape any brands ecosystem easier.

1. Find a third party launcher that you like and get used to it, this will make switching between brands much mo...

Layman's review of the Samsung Watch 4: Do not buy.

A year ago I broke my Active 2 Watch and couldn't repair it. So I decided to wait for the watch 3. Watch 3 came and I passed on it.

So I bit the bullet and decided to get the Watch 4.

I absolutely regret it and it really angers me that all of the god damn reviewers pretty much glossed over a simple fact that ruins the watch 4 for me.

Half of the watch's features are god damn region locked.

Depending on where you are, the following are region locked:

1. Blood pressure

2. Oxygen level

Google is planning on removing a few of their Customizable Emojis on Gboard

Can we PLEASE not remove Minis from Gboard? They are wonderfully hand-drawn and super charming. I legitimately love using these emojis with friends. They're cute and makes your messages that much more personal.

And let's face it, THESE look much better than the abominations that are Bitmoji.

Please, Google, hear us. Please do not remove Minis. At the very least, give us some rationale? Are they being phased out because of Emoji Kitchen? The two can coexist....

Something is wrong with the Android OS

Hello!

Why is that people like me who only use smartphones for basic stuff (voice calls, email, casual internet, few apps like tv show tracker etc..) need to buy 400€ smartphone just to have anything close to smooth experience from a non-chinese phone? It is ridiculous. All low range smartphones are lagging garbage and I don't think it's the hardware. Every year new chipsets CPUs and other stuffs is developed all of them faster than its predessor but the OS itself always fucking lagging, hangin...
