    $200 for this case. Actually not bad from what I've seen, but too rich for my blood.
     
    Dune has been doing knockoff Apple stuff since the 2nd gen Mac Pro, shame they missed the one that would make them the most money, the OG Mac Pro. If this one catches on I may buy one later though.

    When did I mention CNN buddy?
    I didn’t respond to you for a reason. You detailed a project you did in college which had nothing to do with the thread. I find most broadcast news networks to be a complete waste of time. If you care to discuss the matter further just send me a message.

    It's made all the more funny when all of their arguments are the generic "this particular Android phone has a feature that the iPhone doesn't" or "the MacBook is too expensive" types.
     
    Please, there are far better reasons to dislike Apple. I hold those reasons and even I'm still willing to admit the iPhone 11 Pro is arguably the best rounded phone on the market.

    Yep, and "due to the abysmal state of Android smart watches" at that! So much anti-apple bias!!!1!
     
    As for OP:
     
    Linus has said this again, again, again, and again. And I'm surprised he hasn't said it here.
     
    This is Apple season, the YT algorithm forces trend following and stifles original content, and thus in order to continue making money you need to follow what the holy gods of the youtube algorithm decide is trendy. This is not Linus or LMG being shills of X company or showing anti-favoritism towards Y. Its a corporation being forced to produce certain content to make money.
     
    Hell, LMG is being nice by changing their clickbait titles after an hour or so. They could be making more money by leaving them, but they don't because they actually care about their media image. As for self product placement? Remember how 4 punctuation marks ago I said LMG is throwing away money by changing their clickbait titles? LMG has margins to meet, and I would personally rather a company shill their own product than a dyson vacuum.
     
    This obviously isn't a direct comparison, but GamerNexus makes a little over HALF of their revenue via the GN store.
     
    Just some food for the thought  : >

    SenKa got a reaction from Gegger in Can Grammarly be allowed in this Forum?   
    Grammarly is also not fantastic so far as spell checkers go, if im being honest.
     
    It is GREAT for being simple to use and free for non native speakers, but its corrections are often either ill advised, incorrect, or otherwise not useful. Not to mention not academic in most cases, for when that matters. The best spellcheck is your brain, full stop.

    I mean, from a tech standpoint it is fairly impressive. But that doesn't change that it is $2k and still has utterly inexcusable design flaws, such as the hinge allowing dirt in to the device (and thus destroying the device over time).
     
    Also, the 11 Pro bezels are not thicker than the X, at all.
     
    The usefullness of an iPad Mini, as with all tablets, very situational. I use a Mini 2 daily, and will not get rid of it until it dies or until I can get the money for an iPad Pro. But for some it really is just kind of redundant because of its screen size. With that said you can get the iPad (no suffix) for a very cheap price as well, and it is a larger screen device. I don't remember the price, but it's quite similar to the iPad Mini IIRC.
     
    I also totally disagree with your opinion on iOS, but as an opinion is nothing but there isn't much worth arguing as it is subjective.

    Until folding phones can be as durable as not folding phones, and support cases like not folding phones, I see basically 0 reasons why not to just buy an iPad Mini 2 to go along with your phone of choice. Cheaper by a fair margin, even with a 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max as your main piece. The ONLY downside is that the Mini 2 is not getting iPadOS though did see support through the end of iOS 12 and I suspect will not be out of app support for quite some time seeing how most apps even now only require iOS 10.
     
    One thing linus did NOT mention is that the galaxy fold is wide open to dust ingress at the hinge, which WILL mess up the mechanism and likely the screen as well. See jerryrigeverything.

    It is a newer model, the 2017 SR5 V6 automatic with tow package.  Even my cousin with an older 2nd gen Tacoma (his is around an earlier 2000s model) gets a tad jelly over the gas mileage I get with mine.  The gas mileage probably comes from the redone motor which is an simulated Atkinson motor and has the Toyota's D-4S system which allows it to switch from port injection to direct injection based on driving conditions.  Compare to my Nissian Frontier NISMO, it does response a tad different, but I find it enjoyable even when I take it down a red muddy clay dirt road.
     
    Still saving some dough on the side to get the OVTune for it.  :3
