The human brain reacts to loot boxes in pretty much the same way as slot machine gambling.

Following up on Twitter labeling 5G misinformation, and does this make Twitter a “publisher”? Google getting sued for tracking your incognito browsing.

The Xperia 1 ii is a BOLD phone. It’s unlike anything else on the market  today. Sony is making the MOST SONY phone they can, and positioning this  at a premium consumer. But for this PRO focus, can the phone separate  itself from the rest of the high performance Android crowd?
Let’s  BENCHMARK! Continue reading “Sony Xperia 1 ii By The Benchmarks: Is “Pro”, more powerful?”
