This video (series) is so cathartic. Love when people reach that moment of frustration with a company and break it off completely, instead of just eternally bending.

I love seeing him enjoy Linux since he mentioned it awhile ago

This is the first I've heard of it. Fingers crossed he has a Linux video in the works.

During his beamng video on the garbage time channel, you can see he's running ubuntu for a few seconds:

Nice. It is crazy how phones are basically only good for about 4 years or so. And it's a heavy investment...

I've stopped getting anything that costs more than 300 because the phones that did lasted just as long.

That's why I stopped buying from the big brand manufacturers.

So many "system updates" that come out just before the new version is announced & suddenly your device is glitchy, slow and having constant problems.

I have been buying Nokia phones ever since. They aren't the fastest, have huge storage, nor all the flashy bling of the "flagship" products but over the years I have found that I don't need them.

Hell I even have a digital audio player so I can get better quality audio in a device smaller than most phones (plus I am not paying to rent music using streaming services).

4 years? My 2 year old flagship is starting to die.

I'm just getting cheap phones from now on.
