Look, Trump has his moments where he actually does some good things, but let’s be real—it’s just Trump. He can't help himself. Even when he hits a win, he somehow manages to overshadow it with all the mess he made before he even stepped into the Oval Office.
I’ve learned the hard way lately: always open random links in incognito mode. It’s the only way to save your YouTube feed from getting totally trashed. Once you click on one piece of garbage like that, your suggestion box is basically poisoned for weeks.
Matthew Young35 said:If you're looking to upgrade your photography game, I highly recommend grabbing "Open Camera" from the Play Store. It really levels up your shots, especially if you're working with a lower-end smartphone.
I'm already using it! The stock camera app on my Xiaomi is pretty limited—it tops out at 1080p for video. But once I switched over to Open Camera, I could finally start shooting in 4K.
Susan Kim2 said:I have the Mi 8, and it’s a beast. I picked it up for $800, and for that price, you get a Full HD AMOLED screen, 128GB of storage, a killer processor, and the battery holds up easily even with heavy use.
Xiaomi used to make cheap phones, but that's ancient history. There isn't even plastic anymore—it's glass on the front and glass on the back.
I thought I'd struggle to get used to their software skin, but it turns out it's all the same. It doesn't get in your way, the interface is lightweight, and the phone runs like clockwork. Michelle Palmer6, highly recommended.
My Redmi Note 6 Pro features a Full HD+ resolution display and a massive 6.26-inch screen—this thing is huge! With 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, considering what I paid at the start of the year for $600, I am incredibly happy with it. Plus, the aluminum chassis makes it look way more expensive than it actually was.
The speakers are freaking awesome and loud; honestly, the audio on this phone beats my laptop. And with the 4000 mAh battery, I can hammer away at it all day and still roll home with 25-30% left.
Matthew Young35 said:Even Huawei was considered a total disaster just two or three years ago. How did we get here? When I use the term "premium," I’m referring strictly to flagship devices. And frankly, I find it hard to believe the finish on an old HTC chassis would just peel off. There isn't even any color to speak of. It's a metal body—and on the more recent models, we're looking at a mix of metal and glass. When it comes to paint peeling, Samsung used to hold the world championship title for a while there. If you look at any of their models prior to the S6, the finish would start flaking off within a month—even if you were careful enough to use a protective case.
Samsung truly produces the finest displays on the market, but there’s a catch. It only applies to their flagship models. When you look at their budget lineup? It's a complete disaster.
Of course, everyone seems to have forgotten that the rulebook is constantly shifting. Something that wouldn't have earned you a peep from the stewards back then could easily land you a massive penalty today.
My take? For most of last season, I really felt like Kimi Räikkönen could have absolutely dominated Sebastian Vettel if he had just been given the chance.
wiredfalcon2 said:Are you talking about yourself or what? Aside from the race in Spain, this is the only race where both guys finished without any crazy incidents, mechanical failures, safety cars, or anything else messing things up. In Spain, Hulk ended up just three seconds behind Ricciardo... just like here. It’s obvious they’re neck and neck. There was even one lap where Ricciardo was actually faster.
How can they be neck and neck if he's three seconds back? Three seconds is a massive gap in Formula 1.
Honestly, I can't even think of a single "wow" moment from his driving in quite a while. That's just his vibe. He's in Formula 1, he's doing fine, he's not bad, but he isn't spectacular either. He's making good money, he gets to race around a bit, and he doesn't seem to have any massive ambitions or the drive to absolutely crush people on the track.
wiredfalcon2 said:That explains why Nico Hulkenberg finished just behind Daniel Ricciardo in the race. They actually issued a team order telling him not to overtake, even though Hulk was clearly faster during that second stint. I guess it's because he's just a tier below Ricciardo in terms of raw pace..
Valtteri Bottas is carrying this entire team on his back right now; the car is solid, but he’s barely even scratching the surface of what it can actually do.
He's the kind of driver who'll pull off two or three absolute masterclasses throughout a season, but his consistency? It's all over the place.
Hulk Hogan is basically on the level of General Motors right now, which means Daniel Ricciardo’s talent way outstrips what this team can actually provide. He's squeezing way more out of that car than anyone should be able to.
With Carlos Sainz Jr. and Lando Norris teaming up at a rising McLaren, I honestly think they're going to end up looking much better than General Motors, especially since they're just a one-man show compared to them.
If Daniel Ricciardo had a young gun like George Russell by his side, things would look a whole lot different.
