Damn, so I wasn't doing too bad with ~$300 for my Acura that I paid off just today. I did it in record time because I paid almost double that for the whole term.

Eh, already have a Note 20 Ultra so the S21 Ultra doesn't grab me in any way. I'll get a lot of the software features when One UI 3.1 drops.

Since it seems that Samsung is doing away with expandable memory, I just may keep this phone for as long as I can.

Lying about the inauguration crowd size. Literally the very next day and the first thing the administration did. I'll never forget it.

He's clearly said and done far worse things but that crowd size briefing set the tone for what this administration was going to be.

If she held the WH tour that is customary for the FLOTUS to do for their successor, she would gain a lot more respect and favorability. Her predecessor, Michelle Obama, continued that tradition despite the fact that Donald Trump peddled conspiracy theories about Michelle's husband and claimed he wasn't an American.

Melania's ungraceful exit is matched only by the shameful departure of her husband.

Nothing really new here, but good to know that this is yet another means through which the rioters can be identified. It's same way as using the phone in your hand right now will ping local towers and officials can just cross reference that with the carriers.

Somebody, somewhere is always watching you. Gotta get used to it.

Maps is set to only use location data when I use it. I don't use any Google apps on my phone other than Maps.

So then Google already has your data by your logic. So what are we really talking about here?

Sure. It still was literally the most watched news network in 2020. 4+ million watch it every night.

So he's not silenced at all. He's still able to communicate with his base at a moment's notice.

And then Fox can just tweet the clip and it'll circulate on Twitter.

It sucks, but it's just incorrect to think he's actually silenced at all.

I mean yeah if you want to be technical he's not literally silenced - he can still reach his base with Fox and other TV platforms if he wants.

But that's the issue here - reach. How many tens of millions of people were following his Twitter account? It was that platform that he used to announce hires and fires, policy proposals, at all hours of the day and night. Twitter allowed him to control precisely what he said and when to say it with no repercussions. Fox might let him rant and rave for an hour, but that'd be it.

Dude he can call Fox and Friends first thing every morning and be on national TV in a matter of minutes.

Isn't Fox News on cable? He isn't reaching nearly as much people on there as with a simple Tweet.

You're nuts if you truly think he has the introspective nature to look inside and realize that he did any damage to this world.

He truly thinks he did great work and he truly thinks he brought this country together. He's insane.

Oh, of course he's not going to be remorseful. But he can reflect on it, and I actually think he will.

On a personal level, I'm just going to enjoy the fact that he's basically silenced and won't command the attention that he once did. Ordinarily when major events take place, such as his 2nd impeachment and GOP leadership basically saying screw you, he would go on Twitter tirades for hours or days on end. Can't do that anymore and I love it - what he can do is to stew in his broth of failure.

He's already in so much jeopardy. While ex-presidents should be on book tours and contemplating their presidential centers, this man will be fighting for his legal and financial life.

He doesn't even have any messaging platform because all of social media has basically kicked him out. That'll give him plenty of time to think and reflect about how he's made the world suffer these last four years.

So did they explicitly say that they're not coming out with a Note series phone?

Nope, they didn't say that - there have been rumors for years that the Note line will be discontinued, but that's never happened.

So I missed the part about the ultra...
* Does it have an S-Pen slot?
* Does it have a bixby button?
* Does it have an SD card slot?

1. Nope - there are certain cases you can buy that can store it in, but there is no silo in the S21 Ultra where you can store it like there is for the Note.

2. Nope - just a single power button (or "side key") on the right where you can customize it to serve as a sort of Bixby button if you want. But there's no dedicated Bixby button like there once was.

3. Surprisingly, nope! None of the S21 phones support expandable memory, which is a shame in my opinion. The future Note this year will probably be the same.

So yeah, keeping my N20U.

Is there even a discernable difference in picture quality between the latest samsung and iphone? To the average person

In MKBHD's yearly blind camera tests, the iPhone always loses in the first round. My wife has an iPhone and I personally don't like the camera's overly warm color temperature where everyone looks like a tomato.

I guess you could always change that but let's face it, nobody does, so everyone looks sunburned. Very easy to tell what picture was captured on an iPhone.

he's going to pardon himself, so first it'll require the supreme court to rule if presidents can even do that...

A pardon would only save him from federal crimes - he would still have the suits brought on by the states to contend with. I think NY has him for tax fraud, inflating his wealth, and other stuff.
