January 1st: “This is it. This is my year. I’m cutting sugar, going to the gym every day, and finally learning French on Duolingo.” January 7th: I’m lying on the couch, eating stale Timbits for breakfast, and the only French I’ve spoken is “croissant.” My Fitbit hasn’t left the charger since the 3rd.

Here’s the thing about Google Pixel phones: they take fantastic pictures. Like, “Did I just become a professional photographer?” fantastic. But then, five minutes later, your battery icon is screaming for mercy at 12%. Congrats – your phone just went from Ansel Adams to paperweight before you could finish your latte at Tim’s.

You’ve got the snacks ready, headset on, finger hovering over the PlayStation 5’s power button. Press click. The PS5’s light goes white—power on, baby! Your TV, however, displays the gaming equivalent of crickets. No signal. You frantically grab the remote, double-check the HDMI input (we’ve all selected the wrong HDMI at least once). Still nothing.

There are two kinds of falls you never forget: You know the noise. The heart-stopping, “well, there goes my grocery money” crunch. Suddenly, you’re the proud owner of a spiderwebbed iPhone screen. And every time you swipe, you’re risking a tetanus shot. Cute! Why Cracked Screens Are the Devil’s Confetti Here’s the thing about broken […]

One minute you’re halfway through sniping zombies in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the next—nothing. You hit the power button, and your Xbox just sits there like a smug little brick. Quiet. Lifeless. Like it knows exactly what it’s doing. This post is for anyone who’s whispered, screamed, or cried: “Why won’t my Xbox turn on?” […]

There you were. Just another Tuesday. Your trusty Motorola slipped out of your hoodie pocket and did the Swan Lake pirouette straight onto the pavement. You flipped it over, praying to the tech gods… and yep — full spiderweb. Your Motorola screen didn’t just crack. It emotionally betrayed you. Good news? We specialize in — […]
