For those too young to get the joke in the headline, meet an elder meme:

I wonder if they are going to jump on the ‘Rapid Fire’ craze that Wooting started Read more

That’s a very rose-tinted way of describing RCS’ implementation. It has been an utter mess having it become more mainstream on the Android side. Google didn’t add RCS to Messages until 2019 and even then it was opt-in only. End to End encryption was not available to all users until early 2023. And RCS didn’t become… Read more

You don’t need a case for a new phone. I haven’t had one for years and I drop it just as much as I used to with no problems outside of a small blemish on the frame or something. I can’t imagine ever going back to a case.  Read more

If all you need a case to do is keep your loaner safe, you’re not the kind of person who spends $60 on a premium case. Read more

Getting water on it is also a big no-no - what is the point in spending $59 on a case if it looks like crap getting stained after putting it on a wet surface by accident Read more
