@AdamJMatlock My long form is nearly half of what it was just a month ago. Things just started dying suddenly. I'm definitely scrambling for some reason. This is worse performance than January for me

YT is weird right now. Long form is hurting but shorts are doing better. 🤷🏻

RAM Plus can actually make your phone run slower

@GroundedTech @DestinLegarie That's true 😂

@DigestAndroid @DestinLegarie You've already said plenty to me about this tbf. Your view is crystal clear.

Xbox does something bad. Gets criticized. Xbox does something good. Gets criticized. These comments. Sheesh. Some of y’all are a lot, just sayin…

The Mayor in Seattle says never drink Starbucks. What does Starbucks do? They leave. Why do people think more taxes on the rich, higher wages, why do they think that's always the answer? When a 1% raise in taxes causes a few rich people to leave. It cancels out everything

I feel as good about Xbox now as I ever have. For me, exclusives have always been a little silly. I'd rather let the hardware decide where I play. But outside of that decision, game streaming is better on Xbox. I think game pass is a superior subscription service. I prefer the controllers. I have a game library already. The backwards compatibility is a little bit better. Also, Xbox play anywhere is actually really cool because I have a gaming handheld and when I buy a game once it works on both the console and my handheld and my laptop. These are all massive advantages you just don't get on playstation. I think it's a very old idea just to say oh, we have a few exclusives. It's like we are rewarding companies for restricting their content. Like rewarding Apple for having iMessage. There's no doubt that they weren't listening to people and they weren't being receptive but I think a lot is changing now and the momentum is positive enough that I fully jumped back on board. At first I just had a series s and I would occasionally buy Xbox play anywhere games just to have on both devices. But I recently bought a series x on Facebook because of all the positive changes. I cleaned it out and put thermal paste on and I'm ready to stick back on Xbox

@DestinLegarie There's always a large contingent online that does nothing other than hate on Xbox. Has been the case for as long as I can remember.

Dropping today: our new logo in dynamic backgrounds, profile backgrounds, and gamer pics!

My biggest struggle is understanding how to apply this to the tech space without making a false promise. Sometimes we don't pick a winner in a comparison. Sometimes we aren't making some drastic claim in the video. And we don't want people watching because of clickbait and I end up clicking out of it because it's clickbait. So how do we create a contradiction in our thumbnail when we are reviewing a tech product, while still being true to ourselves? That's a tough balance

@PaddyG96 Another great thread, Paddy! Please keep these coming

What do these four viral YouTube videos have in common?

@alexmaxham @SamsungMobileUS I technically believe that too but I always leave at us caveat in just because I don't normally mess with oppo or vivo phones and I don't want to be quiet as definitive about it because of that.

@DigestAndroid @SamsungMobileUS I would say it’s the best slab phone period. It’s not the absolute best at a lot of stuff but it’s good at everything. I still think it’s the best all around phone right now.

Here's my current thoughts on the #GalaxyS26 Ultra: Do I still like it? Yes, it's the best slab phone in the US. How's the screen? Awesome and underrated. How are the photos? Better than any competition in the US. #GalaxyS26 #S26AI4RL #GS26 #SamsungPartner @SamsungMobileUS

@Wario64 Here is a visual to help people understand. From the start this was blown out of proportion BUT that's because Sony didn't explain this and are now doing damage control so people understand what's actually going on. If they had made a statement at the start instead of silence...

Great features on the #GalaxyS26 Ultra! 1: Audio Eraser - In the Gallery app, find the video to edit and click the stars. It edits out noises from videos. 2: Document Scan - Point your camera at a document and a scan button will appear. #GS26 @SamsungMobileUS #SamsungPartner

Speaking of Samsung devices, I have been blown away lately by my #GalaxyTab, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The new Pro Keyboard is a game-changer for me, and it makes it a VERY premium experience! This tablet is awesome! #SamsungPartner @SamsungMobileUS

I think the reason for it is, someone could have one login and sell it to 20 people and put it on 20 consoles. Then they could download a gigantic library on each console and then put it offline. Xbox already solved this by having a "home" Xbox. As long as it's your home Xbox you can go offline

A part of me thinks this is stupid, but another part of me says "what console player is playing without internet?" What side of the fence are you on? 🤔

@OctoY1 @HijoDeWrestling He wouldn't take pins. Refused to lose. Wouldn't be involved in stories unless he got it his way. Same with Miro/Rusev

@HijoDeWrestling I got into AEW last year, what did he do to make people hate him lol

He found it, he actually might found it... one of the very few ways to burn the bridge with Tony Khan, crazy

@GregoryMcFadden @portynayti @Mrwhosetheboss That's not an inaccuracy at all. You can raise the price $200 and give them a little bit extra. It still raising the price even if you added a little something else

Delighted to. In the clip posted above, Apple does indeed compare the M5 to M4. In the full video there's also a claim that Apple raised the price of the iPad by $200 by getting rid of the 128GB model, however that was the year where they switched to OLED panels. The cost increase isn't from storage it's from the new design and the new display.

Tech companies are basically lying to you: - They compare their new products to ones released MANY years ago (to make it as confusing as possible to figure out how much has actually changed this time) - They invent new specs that mean absolutely nothing (like how much zoom their phone cameras can do) - They write “up to” just before telling you how much their new product has improved by (so you can’t sue them when you don’t get those numbers) And a LOT more So, I decided it was time to break it down with @MKBHD on YouTube - video live now

@mweinbach @GregoryMcFadden I don't get it. What's so bad?

@GregoryMcFadden It’s so bad. Marques on glass yesterday then this. They look stupid doing this

Not only is this video misleading and full of inaccuracies, but it also uses ai SLOP 👎🤮

If he would have been willing to lose in AEW, he would have been great. He would fit right in with his wrestling style in AEW. He just has to be willing to lose. But I think he, along with Rusev, and Punk, really fought extra hard for everything they wanted. Darby had an interview talking about how the locker room radically improved and I don't think he was alluding to punk alone. All 3 reportedly had massive issues, specifically black and rusev with losing. I hope this humbles him and he can start to get back on the horse again

@YorchTorchGames @asha_shar With the $8 a month you save you could pretty much buy call of duty anyway. So calm down

@asha_shar You took away Day One Call of Duty titles for a 'price drop'. That's essentially a downgrade. Smart players won't fall for that trap while you 'keep learning'.

Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month. Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers. We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players. xbx.lv/4cWO9hR
