I wish the quad DAC headphone jack that LG phones had would come to more phones

I'm an audiophile and absolutely love getting the best quality out of my music, so I use a DAC at home to get the most out of Apple Music. However I'd love to have that DAC performance in my phone as well, which is why I loved the idea of LG putting DACs into their phones. Sadly they're no longer manufacturing phones though, and the last phone with good specs and a DAC that they made, the V60 ThinQ 5G, was never sold in the UK so I wasn't able to get one new or second hand.

So now that LG are o...

YSK: Chrome has added individual site based Dark Mode toggling on the latest stable build. You may need to turn on "Darken websites checkbox in themes setting" in chrome://flags

I'm not quite sure how new this is, but while was playing around with the built in dark mode in chrome, I saw that there's now an individual toggle in the hamburger menu. It seems to persist being cleared from ram too.

An IG alternative for android

Well, not strictly for android - it's available on iOS too - but given that a lot of other platforms like this in the past have sprung up being iOS only, and considering the sub, the noscript seemed appropriate.

A lot of people have been frustrated with IG's push to video, and now NFTs - it seems they're adding things that no one really wants, and with every update it's moving further away from what people liked about it in the first place - an easy way to share photos.

So we made a solution. P...

So, why did the Amazon Fire phone fail as badly as it did?

When the Fire Phone was announced in 2014, Amazon was undergoing massive growth and the brand was consistently in the news cycle with major developmemts throughout the year.

The Fire Phone UI, named FireOS, was based on Android 4 Jelly Bean, but with a massive customized skin that made the phones OS seem original. To this day it's by far the most customized an Android skin has ever been (With NGE: New LG Experience, being a distant second.) In such a radical way.

With that said, the phone itse...
