Unless you're elephanting stupid enough to buy them from the sunshine network (aka verizon); in which case you're all but guaranteed the joy of not getting security patches because the marketing team things it's more likely make you buy a newer phone from them. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A study from Cambridge University documents an immense drop in complaints against police officers when their departments began using body cameras. Thankfully I'll get pulled over on my left side -- that's my best side.

I assume that knowing they are on "Candid Camera" reduces both illegal actions on the part of the policemen and malicious complaints on the part of the "clients".
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Apparently not.

They already moved to Facebook, sadly.
The day 4chan dies will be the death of the most stupid memes I ever saw - I long for that day.

Samsung's annual Global SSD Summit featured the normal product announcements and presentations outlining the company's latest flash-based advances, but the company also outlined its vision of the current state of the SSD market and future trends. SSDs are steadily displacing HDDs in more applications, but NVMe is shaping up to be the dark horse that may put the venerable HDD to rest. Let them fight.

Maybe their marketing department did a study and found that there was a demand for exploding washers.
I know it got my attention. Actually, it will go well with my Whirlpool exploding glass stove top.

HDD is still cheap for GB, displacing it will require a lot of time, say 10 years at least. I can buy a 3TB HDD for less than 100€, with the same amount I can barely buy a 256 GB SSD. Which, alone, is useless.
If in 10 years we will have reached the HDD maximum density and SSD prices will have dropped to acceptable prices then the huge increase in speed will make HDDs a rarer and rarer choice, like it happened for data tapes in favor of RAID architectures.
