essential retailed for like 700 but it flopped on release

ill prob get a galaxy note as my next phone

Wasbt there for it, what killed it?

price

camera

the notch

you could get a galaxy s8 for same price

better screen

better camera

etc

Well at least they aren't getting trashed in a landfill.

they might as well be

in 1-2 years the essential will be like dirt cheap

the LeEco of mainstream phones

Ayyyy
Google's new PWA web apps are really cool
I added AliExpress and it takes up less space than the Android app, has less botnet features, and loads faster and feels like a native app

wat

less botnet features

but it requires no permissions

wtf

why is aliexpress not allowing me to pay with paypal

its only allowing credit card input

only some sellers take paypal

theres a paypal option but its not letting me select it

thats stupid

not really

well how do i know someones not going to steal my card

it saves them money because they go through less hoops

because alipay is secure as fuck

ok

but hey, they just lost a customer

economics in action

to be fair using my paypal a lot during 11.11 with goybest and it somnehow got stolen

which customer did they lose?

you

oh

rip

ive had my car compromised so many times in the past couple years im embaressed to show my face at my bank cuz they know

its not like im not careful with it i just use it a lot so it gets picked up

wouldn't be surprised if Alipay was actually more secure than Paypal

tbh

alright gunna just give them my card and hope for the best
