  1. Using Apple policy, as it could endanger the user much more than a microvolt, they should pay accordingly. $400 for a microvolt risk, I think 1 million per device is a fair for Apple to cough out as it represents more risk for human life. If they do fix this, according to their policy, they shouldn't do it by themselves as a right to repair, they should pay the rightful owner 10 times the value. Of course, Apple style. If the owner doesn't have the mean yet, they just have to refund buyers and pay the owner they find leisure time to fix the case.

  2. Here I thought Google was going to transfer us $630 millions each. I'm disappointed. Economy of the future : Megacorps pay every human $1 billion for being asses or sheep.

  3. Thanks for putting the sponsorship right at the end, instead of making watchers have to skip through near the start or halfway through the video. It might not seem like much, but it makes things a lot more watchable!

  4. 8:42 Oh fuck no, after everyone celebrated that the S23 was finally an option in the EU, they bring back their trash-tier processors? Samsung is just borderline retarded at this point.

    At this point in time I don't believe for a millisecond that their Exynos stuff is in any way comparable to what Qualcomm has to offer. It will very likely still be 20 % slower, hotter as well as have 30 % less battery life due to their inefficient SoCs.

  5. As an app developer, its going to be a nightmare to have to deploy apps of several android app stores and maintain them and gather analytics. The Playstore being the forced defualt on all android phones is a good thing for developers in my developer opinion. I already have headaches dealing with Huawei App Story, then there's marketing campaigns that have to created, managed and maintained daily per store.

    Basically, i would prefer just one app store on devices.
