Lately, we've posted a few articles about our favorite (or least favorite) smartphones. This got me thinking about which manufacturer you think makes the coolest phones. While LG gave up on the market, the company had some amazing and weird products over the years. Nothing phones are pretty neat, too. What are your thoughts?

USB charging cables for phones can often last for years as long as you don't misplace them. I bought a three-pack several years ago and still have those three USB-C cables in my room, office, and car. My wife, however, goes through them like crazy. My new Galaxy S25 Plus needs a 3-amp or 5A cable for faster charging, so I finally had to upgrade. What about you guys?

Everything is more expensive these days, including endless monthly or yearly subscription services. The occasional small price increase of a few dollars is acceptable, but huge price hikes are becoming far too common. We've seen prices continue to climb for Netflix, YouTube TV, and basically every streaming service. Same thing with VPNs, box shipment subscriptions, meal plans, and more. What service did you stop or cancel because the price increased too much?

Out of every smartphone you've owned, which one would you consider the worst? For me, that was probably the Galaxy Note 7. I absolutely loved the hardware but had to return it due to the recall. Sadness. Note 7 aside, I'd probably say the LG G8 ThinQ for being too expensive vs. the competition, weird air motion gestures, and funky software. So, which phone gave you buyer's remorse? 

We asked everyone what their first Android phone was a while back, and the responses were quite interesting. For me, that was the original T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) with Android 1. Although I think the Nexus One with Gingerbread was one of my favorites. What about you guys? What was the first version of Android you used? What do you remember about it the most?

While most people use Gmail or Apple Mail, those certainly aren't your only options. Popular email app clients include Outlook, Spark, Proton Mail, Thunderbird, and more. So, which email app is your favorite, or which one do you use the most? Why?
