Our two cents about our apps and gadgets.
As well expected the new iPhone SE 5G has a news chipset and 5G, but it’s also more expensive. So, to buy or not to buy it?
Two years after the second iPhone SE, Apple lunched a new one, this time with 5G, witch is always good to have, bot nothing essential for an and user.
The new Galaxy S22 line of smartphone look nice and hold a lot of promise. But are they worth the money Samsung asks?

Here's some thing you need to keep in mind before you decide to buy an iPhone 12.
Samsung just launched the new Galaxy Note 20 series, which includes Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and we’re not impressed.
Not just that we’re not impressed with the smartphones themselves, we are quite annoyed about how Samsung seems that we’re all a bunch of morons.
So why we’re not buying any of the Galaxy Note 20 versions? Here’s a few reasons that combined should make sense for anyone.
$1300? Really? We’re not talking about space ships here. It’s a goddamn phone.
Surely there must by more important things in your life that worth this money more than Samsung.
Galaxy Note 20 is just a bigger Galaxy S20. Really, most of it’s features, like the cameras and others, are ported from the 8 mounts old flagship.
They just put it a new name.
Samsung phones are so full of apps you don’t need and you don’t even have the option to remove. They just sit there in the background, eating up your battery.
Beside the Google apps, you have Samsung apps, Microsoft apps and Facebook apps.
For what reason should Facebook be a system app on a smartphone? It’s not that Android won’t run correctly without it.
They are taking money from their partners to force this crap on us and then they ask $1300 from us. They also monetize our data.
How is this fare and what is the logical reason to pay that kind o money for this crap?
I don’t know about you, but I would feel like a clown if I would have bought the Galaxy Note 20. At list the Galaxy S20 felt like something new, not just an expensive remake full of crapware.
What are some reasons for buying this phones for you? Tell us, please. We’re not all knowing, you know? 😀
According to Bloomberg, Spotify wants labels to pay so that their music gets promoted. Just like Facebook.
Spotify is under pressure from investors, that want to finally see some profits. Also, Spotify is the biggest player on the music streaming market that generates about 80% of the music industry earnings.
So, the Swedish company appears to have the best cards here, but the labels don’t seem to agree to paying for this kind of ads. They think their music already reaches the users, without paying something.
Also, the indie labels are annoyed by this idea and they fear that only the big players will get to be discovered in Spotify. You only get paid of your song is streamed.
So, Spotify will probably find a way to force labels to pay for ads. Probably by making at first their music less visible and lowering their revenue in the process.
In this war, the user will probably be the victim. The algorithm that creates the recommended playlists will slip some sponsored songs that he doesn’t like or want.
Also, prepare some notifications spam that Spotify will definitely use to get you listen to the song they need to promote.
So, don’t be surprised if Spotify begins to suck soon.
