In April, @mkbhd published his #Nintendo #Switch2 Hands-On-Video, as well as three other videos with an average length of 12 minutes and 56 seconds, two of which had a sponsor segment. The top category this month was Smartphone Reviews, followed by Impressions/Hands-On and Health Tech.

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

• Plus their #Website being built to mandate #JavaScript isn't very "respecting" of me as a potential user.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

• But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

• I do however acknowledge that there is a #market for #smol & #sleek "#StupidPhones" or rather compact #Smartphones and I do want to see more competition for it.

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

• I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

• It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

• Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

MKBHD… what a sellout. Saw this at Best Buy today.

Das ist so schön. Wenn Musk mit Trump regiert, werden die USA so zerlegt.. Und natürlich der Rest der Welt auch.

Eine Firma, die Regeln umgeht und trickst. Regeln, die Sinn haben: Man soll mit der Lightbar des Cybertrucks die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer nicht blenden. Aber #Tesla kann einfach schummeln.

Natürlich ist Tesla so super innovativ und hat Fanboys. Wie #MKBHD, der einfach alles von Tesla positiv sieht, egal wie stark er als Kunde verarscht wird.

$50/yr to access 'dope' wallpapers? And the app asks for like every permission possible including location tracking for, again, checks notes... phone wallpapers.

I am just not ruthlessly capitalistic enough. Now I want to spin up StableDiffusion and have it pump out hundreds of high-resolution phone wallpapers overnight so i can package them in an invasive app and sell them to suckers too

MKBHD jumping the shark this week.

One of my favorite podcasts, @waveformpodcast, posted an episode today doing an explainer on the Fediverse. It's always nice seeing (relatively) mainstream outlets talk about it!

In my multitudes resides a lust to afford the #LucidAirSapphire #luxury long-range #EV, or its even longer range, but a relatively slightly less #luxe Grand Touring sibling.

It's interesting to see people so upset with Marques Brownlee #mkbhd. Maybe his #FIsker and #Humane video titles contain some hyperbole, but to me those videos point out a real problem with consumerism.

So many people purchase tech based on potential or promised features. Tesla is to blame for a lot of that — maybe Apple to a lesser extent.

If you test drive an #EV, base your purchasing decision on the idea that that car would stay exactly the same until you’re ready to purchase the next one.

I love this MKBHD "3 months in" review of the iPhone 15 Pro.

Full of tiny details, and some terrific tips (like, you can swipe the Dynamic Island, did not know that).

Worth watching all the way through...

Going to take a trek down memory lane with some of the prototype devices I got to keep.

(I used to have all of the devices we shipped)

Had to jump on to a call at work and paused at this point of an #MKBHD video

I didn’t realize this until I watched the #MKBHD review but the new Beats headphones don’t have a branded Apple wireless chip in them. No H1, W1, etc. that all of the recent headphones have had. Evidently they can still fast pair and sync to iCloud but not switch automatically. Super weird. https://youtu.be/IJm3UHjs8-Y

#TIL from #MKBHD that, before Android was bought by #Google and turned into a smartphone OS, it was originally designed to be a new OS for digital cameras.
