it's true. by the end of next year there won't be a single high end phone on the market with a headphone jack. poverty tier products will still have them for years like lovely laptops had vga ports

first Microsoft sent a Trojan horse into Nokia to become the CEO, wipe out their Linux projects (which were admittedly bad) and then sell the company to them at a discounted price.

google launched a new version of android today, oreo.

by "launched" i of course mean, it's technically available if you want to janitor your phone by installing it via a computer and it's one the phones no one actually buys, which aren't even getting it ota yet. otherwise, it's not actually out.

I will never not buy a Pixel or Apple device again.

This Saturday, I bought a LG G6 at $500 thinking that it was the sweet spot in price for a flagship that felt like something out of the iPhone 4/4S build quality camp. I return home to a consistent band of condensation internal to the display. It lingered along a very distinct splotch of grime that was left from the manufacturing process, so I did what anyone would do and went back to the store to replace it.

The new LG G6 is just...weird. Built one month before the previous device with the grime issue, it started feeling immediately and unusually hot. Then it started heating to 68-70C in my pocket. Turned it off and reported it to LG, and I'm waiting for a response. Also, check out the weird build standards in the image below:



The G6 at top was the original that I purchased on Saturday of the prior weekend. Look how its topmost chamfer running along the screen differs from the replacement unit on the bottom? I kept telling the T-Mobile rep that something was odd about the replacement...These two units were built only a month apart. One was built with dirty hands, and one overheats to dangerous temperatures.

LG is bad.
