for me the camera is one major reason to upgrade every 1.5-2 years. But I buy a phone(asus) that is at least 50% cheaper than most of the high end phones so I figure I'm coming out ahead. They probably have better cameras but mine has

When I travelled through South America quite extensively I found the Ecquadorians were much more brazen about theft than people in some other countries. The moment I wasnt looking at a bag when on a bus they were going through it. I had an

The other thing I really like about USB-C charging is that its on either side of the laptop - so I can have it plugged in on the most comfortable side depending on where I'm working. But yeah an inbuilt HDMI and USB-A would have been a

Some cultures arent like this - I lived in the Netherlands for a while (and im sure some Dutch HN readers could comment too) but if you meet someone and ask them what they do straight away they are likely to answer you with "Why so you

Incidentally, my neighbours had a portable phone that had the same frequency as mine, I could also frequently listen in on their calls too. This was about 25+ years ago. They might have been able to hear mine too. They weren't very int
