The Matrix Resurrections taught me that tech never really dies… it inevitably gets repackaged and forced upon us against our will😎👍

So basically you just admitted that cardboard was never really a real product but only designed to basically make VR better because Google was the first company on Earth to actually invest money into VR and now everybody wants to copy Google because they’re all using Google’s r&D from VR thanks to cardboard. And last time I checked Google also has another VR project that you literally showed in your video that’s a real VR thing that people can buy so if you ask me Google didn’t kill cardboard cardboard just did what it was supposed to do which was make VR mainstream and now look even if companies like your precious apple was literally copying everything Google did with VR I hate boomers so much!

I’m so out of touch with new technology that I’m literally watching this on my LG Harmony 3 phone (which I loathe btw) and just now learned LG no longer makes phones. Time to upgrade! 🤦♀️

I’m super sad about LG. I loved my LG V60, G7,G6, G5,G4,G2,G1. I want someone to do a Kickstarter or something to bring it back for another company to make more innovative phones. I just hope that’s not Samsung

With bootloops after bootloops in the G- series and then to the Nexus line up, LG had built its own coffin in the phone industry with very poor after sale service and wannabe innovations. Nothing ever came out of the LG’s closet that were reliable. The last fiasco was the Wing with mediocre specs, bombastic price and useless swivel feature which no one found useful. Better lie in piece LG.

Google play music turning into YouTube music still upsets me. It was so much easier to use and why is there no landscape mode yet YouTube?

LG, HTC,… they dug their own grave with stupid decisions from their management (not knowing what consumers want)… All they had to do was make decent quality handset, which was pocketable, with affordable prices, and decent specs running close to stock android. Stop with the unnecessary “innovation”.. No one asked for the Wing, and clearly no one wanted it

LG had a large phone, people laughed at it, then they made a large iPhone and it was cool. Replaceable battery and a MicroSD slot. I had to LG’s, they were very good, I did have to curse them like I do every phone when they mess up.

Overly focus on innovation on hardware killed them. Software suffered, hardware quality suffered, service suffered.

I don’t understand why they show you products then never actually release them because either it doesn’t actually get made or they go bankrupt. And google play music I don’t know why they had to replace it with YouTube music because its horrible you can purchase music to download and when Apple Music is the same price as YouTube music and is available on android and iOS devices ill stick with Apple Music
