There are options to turn off glance in the settings. Like I said, you need to use Android to learn how it works. Rambling about the things that can be turned off easily is just a waste of time. And if you think that glance ads are worse than gambling ads beside unrelated apps on the App Store...

You have to use an Android phone yourself to know how the ads situation is. With Android you get option to system wide block ads with just a private DNS server that takes 5 seconds to setup. And anyone can do it. And the funny thing is, Samsung's own internet browser has the highest ads...

You must be living in a world of your own when you think personalised ads are good. Apple was showing pesky gambling ads beside unrelated apps on the App Store. The problem got so much out of hand that they had to pause gambling ads altogether...

A better video to explain what Apple is cooking right now (in regards to advertisements) would this video: It's pretty mind-boggling at this point that some people are defending Apple and saying it's Apple and I trust them with my user data. Wait till they get a sniff of the revenue that they...

Partly gaslighting, partly prejudice. One of the primary things that I noticed with my city's PSU banks (PNB and UCO) is the lack of manpower. There are way too less staff compared to the customers they have to deal on daily basis. Most of the time the manager is chilling or AWOL, while the...

Have our standards have slipped so much that we are branding essential features in a phone as 'QoL features' or 'extra juicy features'? Or is it because its Pixel and bias? The 6A has a terrible fingerprint scanner, 60HZ display, heats and throttles because of crappy Exynos chipset which also...

Whatever controller you end up buying (my suggestion would be the Logitech F310 Wired since it comes with 3 years of warranty and costs 1/4th of Xbox controllers), ensure that you keep it dust and moisture-free always. Dust and moisture are the primary two reasons why most controllers fail. I...

Get the Samsung A52S 5G. Perfectly suits your requirements, has a very efficient SoC, OIS, IP67 and a headphone jack. Not to mention, you will be getting years of software updates with Samsung. Would not suggest the Pixel 6A because of the lacklustre Tensor chipset. Throttles and heats way too...

I won't suggest buying any Keychron keyboards. They are overpriced and overhyped because of some famous Youtubers shilling for the company. The typing experience is pathetic and the keys/stabilisers make way too much rattling/clacking noise. Rather make your own custom keyboard or take a look...

Buying a phone based on gimmicks like Ready For, DEX or Glyph Lights is like buying a TV for its speakers. Doesn't matter if the TV manufacturer has put a high-end speaker system in its flagship TV model, when the actual panel/picture quality is sub-par. Similarly, it doesn't matter if...

I think you're mixing up. The 8 Gen 1 is made by Samsung Foundry and that heats up like crazy (similar to 888 which was also made by Samsung). The 8+ Gen 1 is made by TSMC, which has much better thermals, stability and efficiency. If you're avoiding Samsung, then there's no point spending on...

The only good thing about the Edge 30 Ultra is the 8+ Gen 1. Everything other isn't worth 60K. Firstly, there's no LTPO display, which means battery efficiency will be sub-par. Then there's the sub-par camera that Moto is mostly known for, as low-light photography is below average. Not to...

Avoid the 12 Mini or the 13 Mini if you want a phone with at least a respectable battery life. The battery endurance on the Mini iPhones are atrocious and will make you repent every second of their existence. Ideally, I'd suggest avoid the 12 series of iPhone altogether because of their...

It's pretty well-known that companies like Sandisk, Corsair, Adata, Gigabyte and Kingston have shat the bed when it comes to making good quality SSDs with a reasonable warranty support. Back in the day, these above-mentioned brands were my go-to. The brands that I currently suggest to people...

Buying storage solutions from unknown vendors, especially when people have zero experience with their RMA policy, is a suicide. Unless anyone wants to take one for the team by buying their SSDs and using for long-term (six months to over a year), there's no point discussing. Also, if you really...

For 2.0, my suggestion would be to spend some more and get the Presonus Eris 3.5 for around 12-13K. There's also the Mackie CR3X at 10K and CR4X at 13K. However, there are concerns about Mackie's long term reliability. However, for 2.1 I'd say take a look at the Sony D20 for around 8K.

Indeed. I mean full-priced video games like Call of Duty are now showing ads on their main loading screens. It's a menace.

So, on 14th of August 2022, Mark Gurman, a reliable Bloomberg journalist covering news related to Apple, speculated the chance of Apple showing ads on their devices...

Unless AMD brings major improvements in their lacklustre driver support and AI/ML functionality, Nvidia will still remain the king. Gone are the days when pure compute power wins. It's the age of AI/ML and even though AMD FSR 2.0 is good in the sense that it's open-source and even supported by...

This only happens when you download VLC from an untrusted source and one has to be really stupid (excruciatingly stupid) to download an open-source software from an untrusted source, when the official source comes first on the Google SERP. Cicada (aka the hackers) is modifying one of the VLC...
