You can send a small present (maybe one like Hanabi-size, preferably with a set size for reasons), and everybody unwraps them on camera. Whoever unwraps fastest, wins! Some kind of bonus for having a slow Santee (since wrapping things well is part of the challenge, so you should be rewarded for that).

Chargers explained - how to pick up the right phone charger

13 December 2025 @ 10:51 pm

The answer to the question “what charger should I use for my phone?” used to be simple – the right charger came in the box. That hasn’t been true for a while now, at least not for most phones in most regions. Now you are expected to go out and buy your own charger. But which one? The main problem is that the U in USB is a lie – it’s universal only if you are okay with outdated data speeds and slow charging. If you want more than 480Mbps and 10W, then things are a lot more fractured. There are standards that come from the USB Implementers Forum and all phones do support them as a...

Swiss Competition Commission is now investigating Apple for iPhone NFC access

13 December 2025 @ 12:21 am

Apple has found itself in the crosshairs of the European Commission many times over the past few years, and now it's also being investigated by the Swiss Competition Commission (SCC). This has to do with access to NFC on iPhones. Apple started to allow third-party access to the NFC chip last year, following an initial opening up in the EU. But if you want to use the iPhone's NFC chip, you need to enter into a commercial agreement with Apple and pay the fees it requests, and that is precisely what the SCC is investigating. Namely, the SCC is trying to ascertain whether Apple's terms...

A folding screen replacement for the Galaxy Z TriFold will sting

12 December 2025 @ 10:22 pm

Samsung's Galaxy Z TriFold went on sale in Korea today, promptly selling out despite its huge price point (around $2,400 at the current exchange rate). Speaking of huge price points, we just found out how much a replacement for the inner folding screen will cost for the TriFold. In Korea, this repair will be priced at KRW 1,657,500 at the lowest level. That's approximately $1,122, which makes this officially the most expensive Samsung smartphone screen replacement in history, but given the type of display we're talking about here, that's not really surprising, is it? Luckily,...
