THIS IS A SCAM. I think most of you know this, but I am going to pin this tweet to protect anyone who doesn't. 1) My username on YouTube is "Mike O'Brien" not "Telegram Me" 2) I will NEVER ask you to message me on Telegram 3) My account is verified. I have a checkmark on YT

Using android doesn’t mean you can’t afford an iPhone. Just some food for thought before anyone posts anti-android comments from their iPhone 8

So everyone was up in arms when the $450 Pixel 6A came out with 60Hz. Well now the $800 iPhone 14 and $900 14 plus have 60Hz. Where y'all at? 👀

It is so interesting to see my twitter feed filled with iMessage remarks. It seems like the Pixel 6 Pro is finally getting many iPhone users to consider Android and the big thing holding them back is iMessage. Fascinating. What a monumental moment for Android (and yet not quite?)

To clarify, I was not one who complained about 60Hz on the Pixel. I'm also not an "android fanboy" - 100% will be buying and reviewing the iPhone 14. Just calling out a bit of a double standard in the tech world

Why does Google make some of their own apps better on iOS than Android?? I'll give some examples: 1) Google Authenticator only has a search feature on iOS 2) Google App allows multiple tabs on iOS only 3) Tap&hold GDrive photo on iOS to download (Android requires more steps)

Printer ink is a scam, but you can beat the scammers. Believe it or not, I have been refilling my ink on a $35 Canon printer for the past couple years. How? I drill a hole in the cartridge, inject ink, slap the sticker back on, and override the printer error code!
