Not a single person who has to seriously…

Why is Samsung so easy to hate?

I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I’ve hated on Samsung and their phones many times in the past, yet continued to buy them knowing I’d still be unhappy. I’ve had the S9+, S20+, a couple of a-series phones, and I was honestly infuriated by the experience… Yet over time I’ve…

The Pixel 7 Fingerprint Sensor is an Inexcusable but Liveable Mistake.

When the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro launched, it was plagued by some pretty bad issues. Some were more severe than others, but as a whole it had an incredibly rocky start. Calls dropping out, data failing to work until a restart, battery life and stability issues, and a…

The perfect laptop is your phone.

It’s been five years since Razer announced Project Linda at CES 2018 and what could have been the future of converged computing has become little more than a wilted dream. As someone who has spent an unhealthy amount of time diving headfirst into different tech ecosystems over the years rather…
