Phones Never Should Have Lost MicroSD Cards (And Tech Reviewers Should Stop Bootlicking)

Your phone is a computer.

A computer is always more useful when you can expand on its functionality.

Either through better battery managements and repair, dedicated ports for data and audio, or the ability to increase a computer’s storage, these are all ways we can use a computer longer before it falls into obsolescence.

Unfortunately for phone “reviewers”, it’s more important to validate the bias of an audience, and make more money on content by keeping positive relationships with manufacturers, than to ever criticize the cynical money grabbing schemes of said manufacturers.

It’s hilarious that even now, with most phones abandoning the ability to increase device storage, we still see hacks defend the removal of this useful feature. Me thinks they doth protest too much?

Since these defensive articles and videos CONTINUE to crop up defending bad takes on tech, let’s pick a few of those points apart.

‘Shopping for Superman’ Director Interview – Wes Eastin on Comic Book Shops and Silly Super Heroes

This is a special one for me. My friend Wes Eastin has been working on a documentary for years, talking about the history of comic book shops, the fans who frequent them, and the impact they’ve had on comics publishing.

THE DOCUMENTARY IS FINALLY GETTING A RELEASE!

Hilariously though, it’s getting distributed on the EXACT SAME DAY as the streaming launch of ‘Superman’. What are the odds? TWO movies about comic book characters, with the name “SUPERMAN” in the title, getting launched on the same day!

This was a huge labor of love, interviewing creators, business owners, and fans. I loved this documentary, and I hope you’ll give it a watch (after you catch some of this conversation I recorded with Wes of course…) Continue reading “‘Shopping for Superman’ Director Interview – Wes Eastin on Comic Book Shops and Silly Super Heroes”
