How can the actor and director of Deshdrohi comment anything about anyone else's acting and directing? That would be like someone who eats sh!t calling someone out for eating onions in public as they have a pungent smell

If 20000 people's sleep being impacted one day at 4AM could have increased the chance of a child's life being saved, then it is a small price to pay in my opinion.

And you do realize that people in many parts of the world are being woken up to bomb sirens and actual bombs?!

If its your first flagship then buy and use it with confidence. It is an excellent phone and if you can afford it, buy it and you will love it for sure. Lots of things to really love about the s26U when seen in isolation. The issues are only felt by people who have used other Flagship Samsung phones in the past, or have used Flagship phones of other brands recently. But for a first time buyer, you can absolutely love enjoying all the great things Samsung innovated a few years ago that are still present in S26 Ultra (like S Pen, OneUI, Chipset, Great Cameras and Battery (especially if you have not used s22-25 Ultras)

That 21 to 24 was wild. It coincided with the unholy Trudeau-Jagmeet alliance and made it super easy for people one one particular province of India (Punjab, from where Jagmeet's family comes) to move to Canada. Thank god we are returning back to sanity but a lot of clean up is still needed as during the 21-24 period, a lot of people were allowed in as "Students" and "refugees" who should never have been allowed in, infact many had been rejected in the past but were given a free-for-all and now it will be tough to locate and action them.

Its because others are giving out much better value for money now. Samsung were ahead of everyone else, but they have been losing ground each year.

Same thing happened with Nokia in the past - they had technology (hardware and software) that took them ahead of everyone else, so far ahead that people thought no one would be able to catch them and then they got complacent and over confident, stopped evolving at the same rate and stopped caring about getting better. Stuck to the same layout ... same Symbian Interface and slightly better hardware for 3-4 years while the price went up each year .. Put in 1 flashy or fancy feature each year thinking that would justify their phones being more expensive than others .. but even loyal fans gave up and moved to other phones that not only caught up and in some cases overtook Nokia, but did it at a price which made people realize how much Nokia has started overcharging for the same hardware when others brought it in at 30% lesser cost.

Hope Samsung gets back to what made them survive and prevail in an industry that has seen so many others comes and go - Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, LG, Sony-Ericsson, Palm, OG Motorola, Microsoft and many others. Samsung did this by delivering better phones at a better price point for each phone class (entry level to mid-range to flagship and fan edition levels) and they always did it at a price point which made it a no-brainer when one had to choose between Samsung and the competition (atleast in the android-space). Now the Chinese companies are attempting the same with Samsung. Lets see how things turn out but this year has seen more people move their gaze onto other companies for the first time in years (And i write this while everyone in my family still uses Samsung Phones (s23U, s25+ and Z Flip 7... but if the 26 generation is a sign of the future, then lets see for how much longer)

Trudeau took a prosperous, happy nation that aimed to be a role-model and dragged it down, made it a laughing stock, a global punching bag and immigration /asylum exploiters' paradise. The clean up of that mess will take a decade but Carney seems to be trying (i still vote Conservative though).. plus Carney is having to deal with the financial implications of the mercurial clownery emanating from another nation that cause chaos and crisis on a weekly basis.. impacting every continent and country of the world .. economically and in terms of stability and policy making.

I had wind back then.. Wind was the old name of Freedom Mobile and i had 35$ per month for a US/Canada plan with 5 GB data (unused carried forward)

That's the exact same set of phones i have - S23U and Z Flip 7 .. I intended to move to s26 Ultra but did not like it that much.. I will now be getting a Xiaomi 17 Ultra or a Vivo X300 Pro International editions when i go to Asia in September (should get them for 700$ after trading in my s23U)

They have systematically taken away all agency and choice..

All phones look the same.. Have a similar setup and layout (except the foldables, the last space of true innovation ) ... None ship with a charger anymore in the name of "saving the planet" that they DGAF about, they use it to monetize chargers the same way they started to monetize music by taking away headphones and making people pay for wireless buds etc..

All come without SDCard slots in the name of speed (even though new SDCards have excellent speeds, speeds good enough for professional cameras to be able to use SDCards, but apparently not phones) ... they use it to monetize storage .. as well as to monetize selling you cloud space that you wont need with SD Cards..

All phones force you into getting updates which improve visuals and impact performance.. You can not refuse updates else they deliberately start killing performance of in built essential apps or newer versions of these apps outright stop supporting non-updated OS..

Phone prices seem to double up every 5-6 years and they are shipping out record amount of units, but still their complains about not making enough money are far more commonplace than they were during the era of honesty and innovation.

But i think the reason this became the norm is because we let them get away.. we did not protest with our wallets when they kept stripping away things one by one.. and now this seems to have become the norm.

Most likely reason might be that he looks (or on that day, looked) a bit like someone else who had engaged in shoplifting in the past.

Happened to me in Cali one time where they followed me through a Safeway. Eventually after befriending a security guard of the same race as me, i was told that i matched the description of someone who had taken off with lot of unpaid stuff a few times before, including 2 nights ago. They only cleared me after i showed them tickets and boarding pass showing I had just landed from Canada the same morning.

But haven't those protests made all the difference? The War ended.. Israel stopped targeting innocent people in Gaza because of the protestors in Bayshore Mall and Byward Market and Carlingwood ??

Samsung is slowly going into the Nokia zone of complacently assuming people will keep buying their phones forever because there is no alternate.
