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

@TheGrahamZA @adinwalls Take2. Now there's a name i haven't heard in a while

[Hadlee Simons @HadleeSimons]

@TheGrahamZA @adinwalls lol biased Raru guy over here :P

But yeah, fair fair. Just seen some people go all-in on Amazon and I'm like "oof, be wary"

Pls racing gods, let Grosjean win. #Indycar

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

[jacob daneman @IJamEcono]

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.

@Arfness It's not. Whether intentional or not, it fits in with their strategy of senselessly spending cash to kill local rivals lol.

[Hadlee Simons @HadleeSimons]

@heyitsyogesh Not a stretch to say Huawei would be number one right now, or at least consistently swapping with Apple/Samsung. They were making giant in-roads into Samsung's lead prior to the US ban and had already passed Apple. Without a US presence too.

@mweinbach @DirtyTesLa *OPPO Find N in shambles*

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"

@JunaidSamodien_ Reckless, but shoutout to the guy, who was unfairly dismissed by Mercedes after over 20 years. At least he got some money after a court battle lol

[Hadlee Simons @HadleeSimons]

@nirave @SwiftKey BlackBerry Keyboard still works (on Android 13 and lower I think lol)

@BBV10s @wearetherace "You hit the wrong part of him, my friend." - Brundle referring to Sainz, probably.

.@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.

[Hadlee Simons @HadleeSimons]

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.

[Android Authority @AndroidAuth]

I just tried the Galaxy Z Flip 8, and one thing is clear — Samsung has given up https://t.co/GBCvlpTBU6

@TheRichWoods They're gonna bring back Cortana too

[Hadlee Simons @HadleeSimons]

@bencsin TBF I mainly hate Airbnbs cos they're driving up property prices here and in other major tourist cities.
