Booked an appointment for the dentist this week. And it's literally at 2:30 (tooth hurty). Nice.

Please @asana, let me drag my task around without the "add as subtask" option following it everywhere. Can't tell you how much the AA team has lost its shit. 😅

Gonna start a rumour that Apple is bringing back the microSD card slot, so Samsung can beat them to the punch lol

I was excited to go to IFA, but I had my visa rejected. I submitted 60 pages of documents, IFA media badge, and travel history of the last 15 months (to 12 countries).
The embassy said I didn't share justification as to why I wanted to visit Berlin, and that's just ridiculous.

No IFA for me. Visa application denied. Man, it's getting real fucking tiring to do visa apps each year (and sometimes twice a year) for Europe. Even when I ask for a longer visa.

The irony of Google getting someone from South Africa to host their Pixel launch when its phones aren't even available on the continent.

This is like being a meth head and asking someone who's never done meth how they're going to get through their day without meth

RIP Brooklyn Vegan. Absolutely bewildering. Thinking of all the great people there and the unparalleled music coverage they’ve done over the years. Utterly unceremonious and moronic actions by Veeps.

5-6 years ago, i refused to do the "shock face" youtube thumbnails even though people tell me "it's better for engagement"
now, i refuse to *hand hold* a mic up to my mouth that can be clipped onto my shirt even though people tell me "it's better for engagement"

.@Google is far from the only 1 responsible for news websites seeing traffic declines. But the previous site I worked for was bought by crypto types and they're now churning out AI-written copy with stolen photos that constantly rank on page 1 in search.

Saw the local price for Z Fold 8 was R40,999 (~$2,454 for international people), and yeah, not paying that for no tele camera or dust resistance.
In saying so, I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on Find X9 Ultra either. Got a bond to pay lol.

Another year, another case of "stick with the Flip 6". After trying out the Flip 8, it's clear that the Fold 8/Fold 8 Ultra got all the love and resources.
I just tried the Galaxy Z Flip 8, and one thing is clear — Samsung has given up androidauthority.com/samsung…
