Isn't medical tourism a thing in the US too; like you can fly to a developing country, get your treatment done by top specialists there and fly back to US and the cost would still be lower than what it would have taken to do in home country.

I just wrote it because it rhymed with the now memed 2004 anti piracy announcement You wouldn't download a car that was rightfully criticized.

An old person is carrying a placard that says Thank You comrade Stalin for a wonderful childhood. A party member takes him aside and asks him how that is possible because Stalin wasn't born when he would have been young. The old person replied, "That's exactly why I am grateful".

C++ was my second programming language after BASIC, if that still qualifies as a programming language these days.

I think Asus Zenfone was an option for that. But for the newer updated model, even they went for a larger screen.

Realme tested a 320W charging brick recently. It charged the battery in under 4 mins.

There are two models, the base and Plus one. Motorola claims that the latter had it's sound tuning done with help of Bose and apparently, reviews praised it's sound quality. However, the ANC is mediocre and atleast one feature(spatial head tracking to give more realistic audio) is limited to Motorola phones only.

Their case is lighter and more compact than mine Sennheiser one(but then, the Momentum series is incredibly bulky). I think Nothing also has decent series of earbuds in the same price range though their flashy looks might not be for everyone.

I had one too. Great specs and battery life but piss poor software support.

IIRC, top 4 out of the 5 vendors in India were Chinese with the outlier being Samsung. Nothing also has a factory in South India(Chennai, I think) which is why their products are almost available in India from Day 1 but they don't have much market share.

How else can they sell you their Moto Buds?

I looked for past articles from her on Business Insider. She is middle class, like rest of us. Which middle class person doesn't hire an accountant and spend $1000 per month to make parenting easy!
