  • Nope, only from what I’ve read about it more recently. Back then I was just hyped about getting an even smarter smartphone with a better OS and all the new possibilities it brought to me. It was by no means my first smartphone, and I had already explored using my phones in interesting, useful or smart ways, but the OnePlus One felt like a very big upgrade in my daily life, especially since things were moving pretty fast on that area 10-15 years ago. CyanogenMod was definitely an important part of that improved Android experience, and I don’t think the corporation clusterfuck affected that, really, as I did not at all notice what was going on over there.












  • Interesting perspective at the history of technologies, products and companies. I didn’t know Google Video was actually launched three months before YouTube was (and Dailymotion about a month before). Google then acquired YouTube about 6 months into its existence, and shut down Google Video ~2 years later.
