    News Windows 10 is officially dying next October — but you can get a year of extra support for $30

    $30 is approximately 1/3rd of the price of an official OEM copy of Windows. For only one year of updates, that is a terrible value. It also doesn't solve the problem that people have, which is the artificial system requirements that restrict their perfectly-running PCs from upgrading to Windows...

    News No more Galaxy? — Samsung just tipped to rebrand its flagship phones

    It is definitely inaccurate to say that Samsung is criticized for copying Apple in features in the Galaxy series, but there is some truth to the idea that they are being criticized for copying the physical appearance of Apple products (Galaxy Buds Pro 3 compared to Apple AirPods 2 Pro and the...

    I bought an iPhone 15 ahead of the iPhone 16 launch — and I don’t regret it

    I see I am not alone feeling this way. Phone hardware has not improved enough, and the pace of software development has slowed down to a tortoise crawling in the desert. It's the same on Android. Devices being sold for $999 are fairly similar to 5 year old flagships (same RAM, storage, screen...

    News Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 pre-orders reportedly drop compared to last year’s foldables

    There is potential in the idea of a foldable. It's a phone that can expand into a tablet, and with the help of Dex, it can even mimic a PC. The idea of one device replacing all of your other gadgets is clearly a positive and would even justify the sky-high price tag as being affordable when you...

    I don’t think Galaxy AI makes Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 $100 better — here’s why

    $1899 is the same price as a powerful desktop PC. That same PC can leverage AI much better than the Fold. While I love the concept of foldables, I believe Samsung has an uphill battle to convince consumers.

    Question Eventually need to get new phones, but not excited with any new ones

    Sorry for responding late. It's a good thing you got the storage upgrade because you kept UFS 4.0, which the S23+ had. Compared to the 128GB model, this doubles the read speeds and increases the write speed by 50%. I have looked at the S24 series in the stores, even tested the Spen. I know it's...

    Question Eventually need to get new phones, but not excited with any new ones

    That's how I tend to feel about it, although I honestly don't know if S9 replacement batteries will hold a good charge considering it was produced 6 years ago. The previous phone was an S6. Jumping up to the S10 more than doubled the ram, quadrupled the storage, included two extra cameras, and...

    Question Eventually need to get new phones, but not excited with any new ones

    I don't mean for this to come across as a complaint but more of a request for assistance. Here's the situation: there are two phones: an S9 and an S10. The S10 is still going strong with about 5-6 hours SOT. The S9 only gets around 3 hours SOT and needs to be frequently charged. Sometimes the S9...
