  • I’ve been on a Samsung A13 5G for about a year and a half. I switched to Samsung after I dropped my Pixel 5a one single time, and the phone totaled itself…

    The A series is alright. My A13 isn’t too laggy or anything, and Samsung sends out monthly updates just like Google does. The only thing is I’m not sure how long Samsung supports each of their A devices.

    Of course there are compromises that Samsung makes with their A series, since it’s a budget line. Like I think the A13 has a 720p screen iirc, which is kind of lame. So just be sure to check all the specs of whatever A series phones you’re considering.

    But overall, I’ve been happy enough with Samsung, and would recommend them. I’m probably going to stick with their A series for my next phone.


  • I have a coworker whose default mode of thinking is to manually type everything. He knows about things like tab completion and copy-paste, but for some reason those two things just aren’t baked into his brain as a natural reflex like it is for most people. Like if he has to put a URL or database connection string in a config file somewhere, he’ll start manually typing the string one character at a time, and will keep alt-tabbing between the config file he’s editing and the email or whatever that has the reference string.

    It drives me up a wall.
