    Well done to MKBHD for graduating Apple’s Pricing class with his $50 Wallpaper App!
    But if that’s too much for you, then get the amazing SAMTIME Wallpaper Pack: www.patreon.com/posts/113231958?pr=true&forSale=true

      @tren133 3 місяці тому

      Once you become rich enough for long enough, you no longer consider the working class to be people, but rather peons whose sole reason to exist is to make you even richer at any cost. Essentially will happen to anyone whose made it big, except maybe Tom from MySpace and Steve Wozniak, and that's probably because they got out of the active money making business altogether. Just look at Dave Chappelle from his Killing Them Softly days circa 2000, to the Dave Chappelle some 25 years later, super full of himself, pal around with the likes of Elon Musk, and punching down in his latest comedy routines.

The build quality was horrendous. And I ordered from online Samsung official store so can't even say I didn't get the right product. The worst phone I've ever owned, and I've owned a Sony Xperia back in 2013 that was unable to make phone calls! But everything else about it was top notch.
      I've as a whole stopped watching these tech UA-camrs ... they have forsaken their primary goal which was to inform the public by reviewing without bias.
