   Suddenly every big tech company wants a piece of the zoom pie. I quite like Google hangouts (now meet?), it's simple to use and comes packaged free with g-suite. I run a small business so for just myself it's less than $100. Amazi

   Got to love DO. Simple pricing, nothing hidden, not the most feature rich ecosystem, but I get no billing surprises. Source: customer for 3 years.

    I don't watch the news. Stopped 4 years ago. If something is important enough, someone within my circle will inform me of it. Most things on the news is terrible for you, why? Because the majority of stuff you can't actually actio

    Yes, this also drives me nuts. I want a phone that has a screen around 5.5 or 5 in. Not 6+.

    Apparently zoom has been going up because more people will work remotely during this period. Crazy.

    It's very nostalgic, that's the only way I can put it. Something that just resonates with me. The UI is very nice too, big and bold.
