#and why are all these sims out here trying to get Q locked up?

[ladybugsimblr]

simshaderoom Still no word from #Bailey Kay on the lawsuit or the #Dizzy interview but her team and the butterflies are working hard. The Juice Champs video was temporarily removed from SimTube after being reported for harassment and bullying. It’s now back up without monetization. #Dizzy said he’s finally taking a break from fighting the hive for the Starlight Awards tonight. You think they’re gonna let him in the building? Will we see a brawl on the red carpet? Will BK even show up? Do we believe the Queen was giving up the jewels to get where she is today? Questions that need answers…

wakeupmrwest Y’all are not playing fair. It was just an interview. This is my job. You can’t stop my bag because you don’t like what was said. I still love BK but we needed to understand Dizzy’s side too.

rubberbandshan Sirrrrrrr. STFU!! Expeditiously. Hear his side of what? The imaginary beef that he created between himself and the Queen? The only thing we want to hear is Q’s hands and feet connecting with the Dizziot's face. Dassit!

kingb BIG FACTS. We're giving you a pass Q. We already reached our GoFundMe bail money goal. Do what you have to do! Dizzrespectful clearly deserves it.

bflyhive If all this makes BK go back in hiding and cancel Butterfly Springs I'm riding at dawn! Q, we got your back! Off with Delulu's *forbidden word* head!

c.spiracy Wild theories with no receipts are just lies and fairytales. That is dizzpicable dizzgusting business. The lowest of low. But when they go low, we go to HELL. Can we ride at dusk tho? I'd like to remain anonymous.

nissanissa I'm still stuck on crackable. You know what else is crackable Desmond?! Those beautifully high cheekbones! Q!!! Where you at???

bae_material Not gonna lie. My man would fight for me. If BK's husband don't do something, maybe he is as corny as Dizzy says he is.

realisticrachel Ummm you guys know that assault is still very much illegal. Why are you encouraging this lady's husband to go to jail? It's words!

wildbutterfly I'm just here to say ALL the sims involved are fine and I am volunteering to be cracked. Ok bye.

anon Not to be messy but we only know BK's history to be SimTube star to signing with Blueprint. She never gives details on the time in between. Maaaaybe Dizzy is telling the truth??? I think it's time the Queen stops being so silent.

#dizzy got non violent c spiracy out here ready to fight #this is real serious #and why are all these sims out here trying to get Q locked up? #bailey is not trying to be a single mama of four lol #but his buttons keep getting pushed thoooo #bklegacy #bklgen2 #bailey kay #quinton #dizzy des #simshaderoom #rubberbandshan

Demise!Izuku as a Youtuber?

Yep! You heard me right. Demise server is a strange little land, full of strange little ideas, unfortunitely this one idea in particular wasn’t so little. So without further ado here’s all the shit we came up with in the server in regards to izuku as a youtuber within demise!au:

If Izuku was a YouTuber can you imagine the fucking chaos dumpster fire his channel would be

He's be like an edgy twink Jenna marbles(edited)

Doing Me time every damn day

bandit is jennas dogs

tenya is julien

He'd have weird ass videos like dipping bandits feet in red pet dye then putting a sign on him that says "you pet and you'll meet the last person who dared to"(edited)

And he's also make videos about him breaking into UA and interrupting classes and stuff

"hey gamers, today we're breaking into UA to see my boyfriend and read all of my friend's secret files"

And a video just of him filing Aizawa in weird places and at the end putting him on an inflatable mattress and watching him float away 

He wakes up in Canada

They don't know how or why

He just attaches a go-pro to trash bandit and let's him run wild. He probably has a seriesJust letting him loose in weird places

DONT LET TRASH BANDIT EAT AIZAWA'S SLEEPING BAG AT 3AM | VERY SCARY"hey guys so today ill be doing the 'How many bottles of quil can i steal before i get caught by Tsukabitch' challange. feel free to make a video of your own!" 

He probably dyes Bandit according to holidays and puts him as the profile picture. The kicker is, he only does it for holidays that his country doesn't celebrate

Like 4th of july

And Canada day

"Hewo soulless fuckers it is me your overlord, King of the soulless fuckers. Today I'll be going up to people in the streets and telling them that I killed God and Satan. But y'all know me, that's not enough. So I'll be asking them which one I killed first and if they get it wrong I take a shot of quil. The quil I'll be taking is the plain ol kind so don't worry your little marshmallow heads about it." 

He only makes text posts in OwO speak this just makes me realise demise!izuku would make a great youtuber

He would twitch stream all the time doing the weirdest shit for hours on end

"what is up gamews! today i wiww be weviewing the new game cawwed life! i have been pwaying it fow about 16 yeaws now and i have to say it's pwetty bad my guys!"

I feel like he'd be absurdly popular and whenever someone mentions him and they look up the channel they are like "wth have I stumbled upon?!"

I'm just imagining what his front page would look like

The seasonal trash bandit profile picture, the banner would be a flaming hellscape with people he dislikes burning and trash bandit looming on low opacity in the background 

(He made it so that only people who view it on TV get the full experience.)

He probably has his own segment on buzzfeed unsolved

Not talking

Its about him

The intro video would just be him staring into the camera while mixing together a horrible concoction of quil then downing it without breaking eye contact(edited)

His about section is written in 3 different types of code and it's all in owo if you manage to crack it

i love demise|!izuku as a youtube cryptid

Clown Speak and OwO speak mixed together

I feel like in the beginning Izuku was this obscure YouTuber that you only find out about if someone in the know tells you about it until a bigger YouTuber found him out on a deep dive video and just couldn't stop watching yes

i imagine once he gets big people from react channel would invite him to react to videos of people reacting to his videos 

What if in one of his videos he started acting like his old self just to freak everyone out. He didn't say anything about it instead he talked about hero analysis with a bright smile and trail off into muttering a few times only to blush when he realized it. He have his hair in a ponytail with only bangs framing his face and some messy pieces falling out. Also her be wearing something plain but like old Izuku, maybe hero merch or something. The comment section was just people flipping out and shit

He never acknowledges the video after he made it

No matter how many comments he gets he acts like it doesn't exist

omg you know wha tthat would actually allign with the demise and canon swap places for a da

yand you know what that gives me a lot of feels

the millions of subscribers get to see the old izuku

Maybe after a milestone he would post a video he made in middle school of him analyzing a quirk in video format to make sure it wouldn't get destroyed

And he put a couple videos of younger him after it

But it starts being supporting Izuku

And his present and past self and stuff

PEOPLE MAKE FAN ART first Its all full of trash and memes

What if that picture of canon Izuku meeting demise Izuku was a fan art someone made of his old self meeting the new him 

Kids from his class kinda Piecing together they really screwed up?Some even sending in apologies, perhaps

For mental health day I could see him posting a serious video about what he went through and his time in the mental hospital 

And on national stop bullying day he would talk about his decade of abuse including the details of how the school and teachers fucked up and everything aboutbakugou

izuku using youtrube for shitposting and advocating

And for mothers day he features both Rei and Inko?

Endeavor exposure video

What if Rei helped edit or something?To help pass the time for her

Give her something to do

People love the mysterious editor

I feel like villains watch his content like maybe Dabi

rei and fuyumi sometimes make appearances

Dabi just shows up in the videos

Quickly become faves

I feel like Dabi would become a fan and start crying after seeing his mom happy in one of Izuku's videos

"...and this is rei, my hospital mom and this if fuyumi, her daughter so like my sister she helps me keep my shit together and sometimes gives me quil.." 

dabi crying from seeing his mom happy in some lunatic's youtube videos

“...and this is shin, dont let the looks deceive you this man went to jail"

Shin comes in and covers the cameras a lot

FATHERS DAY IS A PICTURE OF TRASH BANDIT WITH HIS DADS VOICE SCRAMBLED OVER IT

“and this is the local florida woman and her alligator

WHAT IF BNHA VERSE HAD QUIRKLESS AWARENESS WEEKizuku would go ape shit during that week

"who needs a quirk when my dad gave me a gun!"

He would give axe sharpening tips

"Remember kids! Society won't help you, so you gotta help yourself!"

he would make 'how to cook videos' except it would only be quil combos

What if one day he just put quil in the ovenand pulled out a muffin

Remeber, don't try this at home kids." makes A horrifying quil combo "rememer never ever do this even if you have a quirk that allows it." downs the horror concoction

"so today were gonna do my boyriend does my makeup challange and since both me and tenya are dumb and know nothing i borrowed my mums makeup..." 

It’s a given he’s gonna do makeup tutorials. The real question is would they be good or absolutely horrendous?

good or horrendous? Both

Amazing makeup at horrendous things? Hmmm interesting

“Hey guys today I’m turning myself into a real like eldrich abomination with the help of eyeliner and glitter!”

izuku has a whole playlist of videos dedicated to tenya and UA

theyre all jsut shitposty compilations of some footage when tenya isnt looking

Even tho it looks like he couldn't give a fuck he is very selective with which footage makes it online. He's very careful at how much is revealed and makes sure no students or secret identities would be in danger with his content

izuku isnt stupid...hes jsut having a good time

Sneaking into UA highschool by hiding in pro hero eraserhead's sleeping bag | NOT CLICKBAIT

Izuku would totally play carefree and childish games while just being Izuku

Like his animal crossing series

Fucking legendary on his channel in terms of gaming

izuku's sims lets play

it's like a 10 generation long telenovela lowkey based off the todoroki family

He has no straight sims, he recreated UA and class 1a in sims

the wedding of sim izuku and sim tenya is like the biggest party in the sim neighbourhood

He creates endeavor just to lock him in a room with 50 ovens

Omg his draw my life has got to be super depressing

He'd be super blunt and monotone during his whole draw my life going through all of the abuse and bullying that he went through because of his quirklessness and also his suicide attempt and all that jazz(edited) 

izuku would paint on a potato

Izuku would make a get ready with me where he does something totally batshit crazy then ends it with "Ah. Yet another day in my life."

Izuku meets Marie Kondo

“Only keep what brings you joy”

“Well this gun from my father sure brings me joy”

Knifemaking videos but with axes

Izuku decided to do a wardrobe tour and like 4 things were bloodstained which he never addressed. The most popular comment was what happened, which of course he never answered.

Izuku does these new year (like all of the questions from last year) or milestone Q+A’s/AMA's which are basically people just asking a bunch of the things he wouldn't answer or address before. A lot of his viewers write down and timestamp when he does something and doesn't address it. If you don't you'll never hear an answer.

He has his boonk gang phrase which is probably like Bandit gang or some shit like that, which he shouts while breaking into places. UA dorm rooms, UA facility office, UA, Hero Agency’s, Endeavour's bedroom (Don't ask), etc. 

He has a variety of videos where he does things from different communities. For example he has a few hair tutorial and following hair tutorial videos. Same for makeup.I feel like Izuku would also have some dresses and slutty Halloween costumes that be put on in a video all while looking like someone who just had finals and was studying for 4 days straight beforehand.

At like 4AM a thought hit Izuku to have Trash Bandit meet Kouta for the first time and learn what his sheep talks about and what he has to say. Needless to say he took his camera, went to UA, stormed the dorms, went up to the shy kid sheep in hand, looked him dead in the eye, and asked “What is my sheep saying.” bandit speaks and Kouta goes from confused and slightly scared to disgusted and horrified. What did Bandit say? Who the fuck knows…

Izuku loves analysis and while he doesn't do it for heroes anymore when he misses it too much sometimes he does it with tv shows or other things.

Idk what yet but Izuku is weirdly good at something and only showed it on camera once. (He's casually known to be a good artist) Whatever he's good at he did it once for a video and it's in one of the most popular compilation videos of him. 15 minutes of Izuku being a cinnamon roll.

Izuku has a shit ton of videos featuring the UA kids. He has some playlists dedicated to certain ones even if all you see is the back of their head.

Any proceeds Izuku manages to get (he is popular but he gets demonetized a lot) goes to different charities for the quirkless.

He made only 1 serious cooking video on his birthday, but instead of using a knife he used an axe.

He has a video called “My sharp things (tour)” where he just shows off all of his knives and axes and shit along with a massive pair of scissors he got Momo to make.

Izuku makes videos of himself destroying endeavor merch while staring at the camera.

The Sims 4 Island Living: Twitter Q&A

SimGurus have been answering questions and giving players some more information on The Sims 4 Living Expansion Pack. 

A number of you have asked about the legacy edition. We have decided to postpone the legacy update for TS4 for now. All players will be able to buy and enjoy the Island Living Expansion Pack when it launches June 21.

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 11, 2019

It does have seasons for players with that EP but it is a tropical destination so don’t expect snow. It will rain more in the winter though.

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 11, 2019

Residential

— Michael Duke (@SimGuruDuke)

June 12, 2019

Only in Sulani at this time.

— Island Lyndsay 🌴☀️🐬 (@SimGuruLyndsay)

June 11, 2019

Sorry, let me clarify 😁 Bad wording on my part: Suntans & Sunburns are exclusive to Island Living only. So if you want to drop a lounge chair in Del Sol Valley & catch some rays, you can do that too!!!

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 12, 2019

You know, I talked to them about it at length, and after much discussion they worried the water might be a touch too shallow, so we opted to keep the legs in that scenario. Gotta keep those fins hydrated, you know!

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 12, 2019

Yaaas absolutely new fish. Clownfish & other new gorgeous colorful beasts.

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 13, 2019

I have 0 insight into future plans, but we made sure to not close any doors.

— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill)

June 13, 2019

Yup! We have quite a few new tropical ocean fish to catch like the Mahi Mahi and Celestial Grouper. Out in the wild (but not catchable) you may find some sea turtles, jellyfish, sharks, and dolphins!

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Nope, Sims can take odd jobs anywhere! There are a few that ask you to travel to some place in Sulani or do Sulani things though, so make sure you read the description!

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Yup! If your Sim is at a beach lot, lifeguard NPCs sometimes come visit to make everyone feel safe with their muscles 😂 (they like to pose)

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 12, 2019

Yep! There's a special something that, when consumed, turns a Sim into a Mermaid! You'll know it when you find it 😉

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 13, 2019

I love that idea! Unfortunately, radios and speakers won't work on off-the-grid lots. We really wanted these lots to feel completely different so we made the decision that pretty much anything with electrical components wouldn't work. This does give me ideas though... 🤔

— 🍍Tropical Seafood Chowder 🥥 (@SimGuruChowder)

June 14, 2019

Yes, any Sim can turn into a mermaid using Mermadic kelp (my spelling is probably off) and you need to find it in Sulani. You can mermaid offspring but they don’t grow their tails until teens.

— SimGuruFrost ✈️ Sulani (@SimGuruFrost)

June 11, 2019

They are a CAS item 🙂

— SimGuruFrost ✈️ Sulani (@SimGuruFrost)

June 13, 2019

Haha. We had so many debates about that tailin the dev team. Our art team goes through am obsessive amounts of details to make sure you get the best mermaid tail experience. :)

— Manu Sharma (@SimGuru0x00)

June 9, 2019

Now that we can say it... he's talking about the Clothing Optional lot trait! (Which comes out for free with the patch.) It's hilarious.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

So information for funsies: though the Volcanic Activity lot trait does come slotted into the lot next to the volcano... you can put it on ANY LOT. Or all of them. Why not all?

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

They land on any tile outside, so they won’t land on apartments with all ceilings or no outdoor space.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Any world! Volcanic Activity for all the Sims!

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Been dying to share this picture. Bears keep showing up to my Clothing optional bar, and all of the people are like "Why are there bears here?!" SO GREAT. @tazreentasnim pic.twitter.com/1B0YNswG5T

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

It's a built in visual prop. That's a bar that functions like other bars.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Volcanic Activity, Island Spirits, Off-the-Grid, and Clothing optional are all removable from any lots they're placed on. Oceanic Paradise is a new lot trait that comes pre-slotted into some lots, and it cannot be removed. It doesn't do anything dangerous though.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Volcanic Activity, Island Spirits, Off-the-Grid, and Clothing optional are all removable from any lots they're placed on. Oceanic Paradise is a new lot trait that comes pre-slotted into some lots, and it cannot be removed. It doesn't do anything dangerous though.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

The lot trait causes volcanic tremors, fissures from the ground, and volcanic bombs to fall from the sky. These things can happen on any lot, but it is neat when it happens next to the volcano for flavor. 🌋

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

When lava bombs are hot you can try to touch them. There's a chance you'll catch on fire. There's also a SMALL chance that when they land, they'll catch your lot on fire. Normally, that doesn't happen though.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

You mean three Volcanic Activity Lot traits on one lot? My goodness! That'd be crazy. I'd imagine if you want more, someone could potentially mod the trait to make it more dangerous. We tried to balance it however, so that it isn't too obtrusive.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Yes, the weather updates are for if you have seasons.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

When Sims sunbathe, they will eventually get a buff letting you know they're tanned. If you don't exit the interaction, they will burn. The burn eventually wears off into a tan, and a tan will also eventually go away.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

You can also prevent a burn by clicking on your Sim while tanning and applying sunburn protection.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Suntans/burns will work in all worlds. You can't get one while it's night or if it's too cloudy, however.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Hopefully, the CC properly has Alphas setup. It really depends on how that was done. If they haven't done alphas properly, you could have weird lines or it could look like you don't have any lines at all.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Face paint won't affect it.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

You should see the prank suntans.😉

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Suntans shouldn't break them, but if the CC clothes aren't setup properly tans might not work well with them until they're fixed.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 11, 2019

Tans/burns are overlays on top of our basegame skintones, so it’ll work on replacement skins that are roughly the same complexion and in the same order/slots.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

It's a new base game Lot Trait coming out with the patch for Island Living. 🥳

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Re-tanning/burning will reset the countdown on time until you lose your tan/burn. It’ll also update to your newest tan/burn outfit. So you can change lines if you want. They don’t stack.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Sims can suntan as an interaction when using a lounge chair, float lounger, or beach towel. Mermaids can tan in the water. We also are shipping with player-facing cheat to set a tan on a Sim and allow you to lock/unlock tans/burns from going away.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

They don’t have to use sunscreen. Just watch their buffs and cancel the tanning interaction if they’re starting to burn. You’ll also see a red vfx glow to warn you.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Sims can sunbathe in any world as long as it’s sunny.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

We adjusted them per skin tone.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Vampires are dead, so their skin doesn’t tan. I don’t recommend they lay out in the sun long. It’s deadly. :P We haven’t done spray tanning at this time.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Sims can sunbathe as an interaction on the towel, lounge chair, float lounger, or as mermaids in the water. There is also a player-facing cheat to set a tan/burn on a sim and lock/unlock tan/burn decay.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan)

June 12, 2019

Can they tan in the nude? 🤔

— Nurgik Plays 🌴🐚🐠🐬🧜🏻‍♀️ (@Nurgik)

June 12, 2019

Yes 😎😎😎

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 12, 2019

Conservation is both active and rabbithole. The new part-time careers are rabbitholes. Some Odd jobs are rabbitholes and some are active.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 12, 2019

Toddlers can be mermaids, but they won't begin mermaid transformations until they become teens. Puberty! It does crazy things. 😂

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 12, 2019

Dogs can swim in the ocean.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 12, 2019

That's not a thing with weather. Maybe the confusion is coming from the Volcanic Activity lot trait. When a lava bomb falls, after it cools, you can crack it open and there are sometimes gems and other metals inside.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 13, 2019

Yes, but because they aren't submerged they stay in their human form.

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 13, 2019

Never really thought of it... but you aren't wrong. pic.twitter.com/yjuOtG1HHt

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 13, 2019

There is something special about Grim when you die in the water... 🤫

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 13, 2019

YES! They're kind of rare, but there are a few places you can see Jelly fish during the day. (Don't get too close or you might get stung.)

— MerMorgan🧜‍♀️ (@SimGuruMorgan) June 15, 2019

Her name is Nalani.

— Rebecca Doyle (@SimGuruRad) June 9, 2019

Island radio station has major Hawaii vibes.

— Dave Miotke (@SimGuruNinja) June 11, 2019

This week in Android: Honor View 20 and MWC 2019 preview

Our Honor View 20 review is in, and boy does this phone check a lot of boxes. It’s not the first phone we have seen with a punch hole screen and 48 megapixel camera, but it is by far the most gorgeous. The Honor 8 started the 15 layer-glass design, but the Honor View 20 is by far the most beautiful implementation. And the phone itself is no slouch either — check out the full review to learn why.

Plus, we detail a couple of OEMs that will bring 5G phones to MWC. Huawei unveiled its new 5G modem recently, and now it plans to debut the world’s first folding 5G phone at MWC. Plus, LG says it will have a 5G phone with a vapor cooling chamber and possibly some kind of gesture control on board. Add to that a couple of phones with no buttons or ports, and MWC is going to be a busy week.

Finally, as if that wasn’t enough, we have thought pieces about the Google Play Store, dumb smart things, and going all-in on Chromebooks for work.

Here are your top stories for the week

02:00 – Honor View 20 review: A hole-in-one!

The Honor View 20 is hands-down one of the most gorgeous devices we have seen. But is it just a pretty picture?

05:30 – Xiaomi reveals foldable phone prototype: Is this the cheap one we’ve been waiting for?

Prepare yourself for the world’s first double folding phone. That’s not a typo, and has been thoroughly fact checked.

20:40 – Google Play still has a clone problem in 2019 with no end in sight

Google Play has clones and copies aplenty, and there actually isn’t all that much that Google can do about it.

34:15 – Is it dumb that everything is “smart?”

Everything at CES was smart this and smart that, but do we really need everything to be smart?

49:00 – One-month test: Can a Chromebook replace my main computer?

Edgar Cervantes took it upon himself to pack up the Windows and Mac PCs for a month to try exclusively using the Google Pixel Slate. It went better than he expected.

Meanwhile, here are some stories we couldn’t cover on the podcast

Huawei reveals multi-mode 5G modem, confirms 5G phones and foldable phones (or both at the same time) at MWC

5G and foldables will be all over MWC this year, and Huawei is joining the party!

LG to launch 5G phone with vapor chamber cooling, big battery, at MWC

LG is launching a 5G phone of its own, with vapor chamber cooling, which is not as righteous as we originally suspected.

Are Android updates getting faster? Let’s look at the data

Have you noticed that your phone is getting updates faster? You’re not alone.

Ugh, Android Q could give carriers more powerful ways to SIM lock phones

Carriers may be able to control your phone in new and exciting ways with these new code commits to Android Q.

LG teases touchless interface for upcoming smartphone

Ugh, touching your phone is soooooo 2018, at least if LG has anything to say about it.

Vivo Apex 2019 has a full-screen fingerprint reader, no ports or buttons

Finally, we have a pair of phones (including this one from Meizu) that think buttons and ports are also a bit 2018 for their taste. Not sure we agree.

Who wants to win an LG V40 ThinQ?

This week, we’re giving away a brand new LG V40 ThinQ. Enter this week’s Sunday giveaway for your chance to win!

ALL

Jesus says, “Write what you see.”

I do not know which title is fit for this. Evil networks, deceptions, lowlife game, abject coercion, bungling cover up, slander, hypocrisy or coward, I would say all of them. The more importantly, based on Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

If I do something here, regardless small things or big issues, I always have different startle discoveries during process. Here I talk about my cell phone.

I lost my cell phone “mysteriously” on Christmas Day of 2019. Was it “mysteriously?” Of course not. It was a shallow plot by evil networks. How? Someone in UGM deliberately pierced a big hole that I did not noticed on the left pocket of my winter coat that I often put my cell phone there at daytime.

On early morning of Christmas Day, I was forced out on the street and sat on one chair in front of Senate Hotel located at 1121 L St. Then one old black man forced me to move. Ok, I rushed to move but dropped my cell phone unnoticed there and sat on the mat of another building and found out that “My cell phone was lost”. Then I went back to ask that black man. He said, “No.” On the following morning, I went there again, asked “Do you have ‘Lost and found’? and begged him to give me back my cell phone. He did not want. Well, he has no legal obligation to return my cell phone.  

Ok, what I can do just try to get another one. Here are some parties getting involved.

-Assurance Wireless (P.O Box 5040, Charleston, IL 61920-9907?)

-12/30/2019

I saw its booth in slum areas. Then I gave my documents to its sales agent (Young Black man). He said, “Sorry, someone already used your address because it allows only one” and asked me to go to EBT office to get different address it accepts.

-12/31/2019

If I had money, I would go to DHA of Sacramento to get the address it accepts. However, I have zero dollars on my wallet for more than 22 months. Then I asked Guests Advocate named Joel for help. He asked, “Did the sales agent give you the form of ‘Address verification’ to fill because you live on the shelter?” “No, he did not.” I said. Then he printed out one form and told me, “Show this form to its sales agent and it should be Ok.” Ok, I showed the form to another sales person (Young Black woman) and thought, “this time it should be Ok.” “Sorry, too many people use that address.” She denied my service again. Ok, I sent online inquiry with my address to its customer service and asked, “Do you have such policy that you do not accept shelter address?” and “Do you train your sales agents with consistent sales policy?”  

1/5/2020

Its customer service asked me the address which I told it on 12/31/2019.

1/15/2020

1) Its customer service replied to me that “shelter address is Ok, but I need to get the paper of ‘Address verification’.”

2) I walked more than one hour from Loaves &Fishes to DHA of Sacramento and saw its booth again on 28th St &R. Another sales agent named Scott (White) told me, “Sorry, I cannot give you new phone right now. Come here on Jan/21/2020, I will give you new phone.”

3) Then I tried another booth named Life Wireless (No company name there but told by its sales agent). He told me reason- “Withholding 30 days by California State government.”

1/21/2020

1) I went to 28th St &R to get the new phone promised by Scott. However, he disappeared but his ally-a short White woman denied me with reason “Not pass waiting period”;

2) Ok, I went to its another booth located at 28& Q and asked another sales agent-Black man “What the root-cause you deny my service-‘Waiting period’ or ‘Address’?” “Address” he said and asked me to get “Address verification” from Check-in counter and then “he will give me new phone;” Ok, I did as his request; Ok, I waited for more than two hours to get the paper he wants and showed it to him. However, he denied my service with another reason “Too many people use that address.”

1/31/2020

One young White (Ex-prisoner?) named Randy (?) finally gave me new phone without any change of my status in Capital Park.

-Tru-Connect (1149 s Hill St, Ste H400, L.A CA 90015)

12/28/2019

I sent online inquiry to its web with different options, including using its old cell phone but new SIM card.

12/30/2019

It sent new SIM card to me through USPS.

1/8/2020

It sent another SIM card to me through USPS again.

1/13/2020

I received its first SIM card, inserted to my cell phone and made a call to activate it. However, it did not work. Then I called its customer service. The rep told me, “No problem with our SIM card but problem from your phone” because LG locks my phone.

I disbelieved it because my ex-cell phone was locked by my ex-carrier-Sprint PC not manufacturer. However, I still sent online inquiry to LG.

1/14/2020

I got answer from LG that “LG does lock/unlock cell phone but carrier does.”  

1/17/2020

I received another SIM card from it borrowed my friend’s address, inserted to my cell phone again. But it did not work again.

1/21/2020

I went to its booth and its sales agent named Terry (Black man) told me, “I can give you new phone within two business days only after you call our customer service to cancel.” Ok, I called its customer service to cancel immediately.

1/23/2020

I went to its booth again, did not see Terry but saw another short White woman and anticipated “What’s going to happen.” There you go, she denied my service again with reason “Because I got the new cell phone from Safe-Link already two days ago.” “Please do not play such nonsense lowlife joke because I walked for more than one hour to come here.” Then her manager (Black woman) told me the reason, “Sorry, you do not have valid ID” and asked her sales agent to call Police if I find fault from her.”

-Safe-Link (PO Box 220009 Milwaukie, OR 97269-0009?)

1/21/2020

Since Assurance Wireless found excuse to deny service, I went to its booth. A fat witch seemed “nice” to me and said, “No problem with your address” and asked my documents and all info. I cooperated with her. However, she did not want to give me new phone but said, “Come here this Friday or next Monday.”

During her process, I asked “Where is her company headquarters?” She told me, “Sacramento of California.” However, I did Google and know she lied (Maybe computer hacker lied. Who knows?)

-USPS: It has a notorious history for its intentional delay my mails many times (>5). Here is the latest:

1) 9400-1116-9900-0270-3281-32: Shipped on 12/30/2019; Delivered attempted at 8:39AM of Jan/04/2020; I received it on 1/13/2020.

2) 9400-1116-9900-0008-3462-09: Shipped on Jan/08/2020; Delivered at 12:27PM of Jan/15/2020;

 Based on policy of U.S government and California State, any low-incomer, including homeless is eligible to get one line. If it is first time I get it, those busted sales agents can work in concert to deceive me. However, I got it from “Access Wireless”, “Life Wireless”, “TruConnect”, “Safety-Net” and got instant approval within 20 minutes.

-Evil networks: Assurance Wireless, Tru-Connect, Safe-Link, USPS and governments.

-Deceptions: See, what are their deceptions: “Withholding 30 days period”, “Address”, “No valid ID”. All those are not the reasons at all. That’s why I got it on 1/31/2020 without any change of my status. So why? Their 1st intent is to implement their master’s plan-distract to sex/love/marriage; 2nd intent is to watch me suffer because I walked for more than one hour from Loaves &Fishes to DHA of Sacramento. See, Assurance Wireless deceived me 8 times (5 times by Blacks and 3 times by Whites); Tru-Connect deceived me many times too by its customer service reps and sales agents. See, on 1/8/2020, it sent me 2nd SIM card because it knew its SIM card was defect. However, on 1/13/2020, I called its customer service, it denied its defect SIM card but slandered LG.  

-Since talk about “Not valid ID”, I want talk it one more time. It is caused by Jerry Brown Administration.

-Now I want to talk about one more time Sex/love/marriage. 1st, my ordeals are nothing to do with it; 2nd, there is no any law/ordinance in U.S, any State and any City to redress for governmental bloody wrongs; 3rd, it is my personal autonomy; 4th, it is beyond governmental reach in any country on this earth; 5th, America is a so-called free and democratic country; 6th and the most importantly, there is no such verse on Bible and God gives anybody free will and hates oppression.

-Customer Service: America wants higher productivity and better service. There is nothing wrong with that. In general, customer service rep should answer question/concern within 24 hours (LG does). However, Assurance Wireless answered me after 5 days with the info I already provided and then another 10 days the real answer. Why? Because it was waiting from its masters’ “How to answer me”.  

-Coward: See, Iran government acknowledges “its disastrous mistake” immediately from Ukraine International Airlines flight 752. However, six junk leaders, especially Donald Trump, Gavin Newsom and Darrell Steinberg have worked in concert to deny my ordeals. Why? Because they are political cowards. Today are my 2,401 days ordeals in America. America governments are liable for that.  

-Slander: It (Tru-Connect) sent its defect SIM card to me but slandered LG; moreover, it denied my service but counter slandered me “I already got the new phone (This one it needs to conspire with Safe-Link)”; in addition, even humiliated me as “rude” and “violent”.  

 Again, America governments can find excuses that those sales agents are from Singapore government, China government and Canada government. Really? Well, even it is true. However, they have resources and evil networks but they do not have authority in America. Only California State government and U.S government have authority to deny my service.

I am done because I have said and done what I supposed to. Do whatever you want, six junk leaders. However, I ask the people of International Community: Do not be discouraged by what happening to me in America. Stand up and speak out if you believe “Righteousness, truth, justice, government liability and humanity” matter to you.

 Note: As a small man, how can I fight with so many enemies from so many governments? What I can do just pray to God and ask him to fight for me. Because Jesus Christ is alive and the only God on earth. He rules this world.  

1) China government: Xi Jinping has broken two records under his administration. One is more than 7 months protest in Hong Kong; another is economic growth rate is less 5% in year 2020 due to “mysterious” coronavirus outbreak.

2) Singapore government: Singapore founder-Lee Kuan Yew broke record because nobody had courage to criticize him harshly globally “When he is alive” but I do and died in pain and illness on 3/23/2015. Moreover, he criminalizes gay-love in Singapore and never thought about “his grandson is gay”. In addition, Lee Hsien Loong wants me to me to get prostate cancer but he got prostate cancer.

3) Canada government: Stephen Harper broke 1st record that there was no snow in winter in Whistler history during Winter Olympic game of 2010 in Canada. Therefore, Canada government spent huge money to get snow; 2nd record was longest wildfires in his hometown Alberta and biggest economic losses; Justin Trudeau broke his record that 63 Canadians died overseas in plane crash recently under his administration.

4) U.S government: OBAMA broke record of the most “mass shootings” under his administration; Donald Trump broke records of “natural disastrous” with more than 300 billion damages in years 2017, biggest deficits more than 23 trillion and mass killings record in Las Vegas (59 people dead and 527 people wounds).

5) California State government: Jerry Brown broke his 1st record of wildfires in Redding under his administration. He did not learn from this lesson and broke 2nd record of wildfires in Paradise under his administration; Gavin Newsom broke his record of 34 people death in Marine industries on California “Boat fire” happened in Santa Barbara County under his administration.

https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Announcements/New-giffgaff-gameplan-website-coming-next-week/td-p/21410320

https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Contribute/Free-to-go-or-stay-but-why-does-it-make-giffgaff-different/td-p/20587393

Looking into a series of different forums to help me gain some sort of insight and perspective/outlook of the brand itself + research. How do the customers essentially feel about the brand, what do they think of it? More specifically looking into what and how people perceive the “mutual giving” aspect as well as what do they think of the giff gaff core proposition which is “free to go and free to stay” What are their viewpoint/perspective on these two phrases/words.

One individual states, referring to the giff gaff core proposition - 

“Most companies tie you to a contract. It might be 18 months or 2 years.  But even if you go SIM only, using your own phone like with giffgaff, you are often still commited to a 12 month minimum term or at the very least, you have to pay for at least one month.   Giffgaff really is contract free. You can leave after a day, a week or whenever you choose.   But in addition to this, giffgaff doesn't play tricks to trap you like locking your phone to their network or expiring you credit at the end of the month.”

Stating the positive factors about giff gaff brand/contract and how unlike this brand (giff gaff) many other contracts tie/bind, trap you into a contract. But giffgaff doesn't bind you to anything at any given time or a moment you can freely walk away without no hassle or problems are free to go and free stay for however long you want, giffgaff don't mind, no tricks or games. you can literally leave whenever you feel like to. Highlighting/picking key aspects/words from peoples responses that will benefit me in terms of direction to follow and idea generation (brainstorm).

One crucial and in-depth response to which I had found  -

“The simple answer is nothing. It's literally just marketting guff. giffgaff push recurring goodybags quite heavily which make them absolutely no different to sim-only plans, they even advertise their goodybags as sim-only plans. People will tell you giffgaff provides ultimate freedom because you're free to leave at any time and free to switch tariff at any time, but you can do that with ANY payg provider and indeed ANY monthly sim only contract, you can even do it, (change tariff), with some twelve month sim only contracts. The only real difference comes with twelve month sim only contracts where you will be expected to pay the full cost, or thereabouts, of the length of service which you agreed to do when taking out the contract. Because many users do recur their goodybags, and many have been for a considerable length of time, without changing package, except to increase it as per their needs, these people are effectively entering into long term contracts with giffgaff. A lot will complain about contracts "locking you in for a year", but they fail to realise someone recurring their goodybag for a year, or more, which many have and continue to do, is no different to having a contract. I don't know why the marketting works so well and sucks people into paying well over the odds with giffgaff as opposed to most of their sim only competitors, but it does. I guess a psychologist would be able to explain it, but to me it's completely baffling. Giffgaff do have some very niche benefits, they're one of the cheapest for calling overseas and the lack of issues raised about this points to them providing an extremely reliable service. In addition, they offer free on network calls and texts, which they and their friends and family apparently hammer the hell out of, and obviously for these individuals giffgaff represents excellent value for money too, why pay £10/mo for unlimited calls and texts if everyone you know is on giffgaff and you can call and text them as much as you want without paying a penny? The final group is those who have such appallingly bad credit ratings that they would be turned down even for a monthly sim only package, or they presume they will be, or those who have already hit and run on contracts before and are waiting for however long it is before that is scrubbed from their record so they can do the same again, (I've known people boast about doing this). I think a lot of users bang on about it, the free to leave stuff, because they either don't understand how monthly contracts and payg elsewhere work, or because they think it will increase the amount of "payback" which they "earn" from their posts.” 

His response has drastically helped in gaining some understanding of the brand marketing and the brand itself and its benefits. Highlighting all the important factors for which I will be taking into consideration - carefully looking into the terminology for which is being used. Ensuring the free stuff and goodies is what people are after, you stay with giffgaff and giffgaff shall reward you.

“It really is ironic that the same people who shy away from the commitment associated with contracts, end up staying loyal to networks on a PAYG basis anyway, sometimes for years on end. They might be free to go, but they'd rather stay, even if it would be more cost effective to switch to pay monthly.

The message is quite dated nowadays, particularly with the popularity of 30 day rolling contracts, which aren't too dissimilar to recurring goodybags. And I'm sure that people already understand the flexibility associated with PAYG, so stating the obvious doesn't seem like much of a marketing hook.  

Mind you, we're still talking about it, so perhaps there's some reverse psychology being used here”

“I think that giffgaff's current strategy is to try to hook those people who naively remain paying full whack for a handset contract when the actual contract has ended.”

 A useful strategy in hooking/getting people into giff gaff brand. An idea/concept or design for which revolves around the concept of reverse psychology. I do like the idea of involving some kind of reverse psychology into the campaign making people/individual think differently and do certain actions or things. This would be an interesting advertising campaign it could either by a physical one day pop up experience where you would motivate a person to do something by telling him to do the exact opposite - so some kind of physical real-world experience where giffgaff members come and take part in and by participating you receive goodies.

Possibly also playing with words to..” Do not read the next sentence. Wow, you just did”.. I don't know possibly playing around with the words and seeing what clicks and works. So a scripted advertisement would work effectively well for audio ads. So possibly creating some kind of script which could be portrayed/read by an individual which reads this script to endorse and makes the audience to join the giffgaff community with the use of language and tone of voice to communicate and project to people - advertising, communicating, persuading people to come join  - audio ads - Spotify, radio and youtube. - I don't know, just another random rough weird thought/idea - still in the works.
