Scab

Your body's own version of band-aid

Mom: Don't peel off that scab. Like a band-aid, it will fall off eventually.

Ok Google

An iconic command you say that triggers Google Assistant on your Android phone, tablet, or Google Home speaker. Saying "Ok Google" has been a thing on Android phones ever since 2013 back when it was known as Google Now. The trigger phrase has now expanded to include "Hey Google".

Friend 1: *rings doorbell*
Friend 2: Heyy come in! So what brings you h—
Friend 1: OK GOOGLE READ MY TEXTS
Friend 2: ....

802.11ax

The latest version of WiFi, also known as WiFi 6. It gives out much faster speeds than WiFi 5 (802.11ac) and supports much higher capacity of connections. You don't need a WiFi 6 router to experience faster speeds, even just having a WiFi 6 card can see a drastic improvement.

I installed a new 802.11ax WiFi PCIe card into my PC and now I get much faster speeds than before

Stubborn

An absolute asshole of a person who doesn't do or listen to shit unless they want/feel like to. The worst kind of stubborn people aren't the kind that talk back, but rather the ones that are silent and don't acknowledge the shit you request or say. They don't even tell you why, they just go about their usual day (or in my case, they leave you on read).

Reese: I think microwave ovens are sexy
Girl: Cool
Reese: That's not weird right?

Girl: Not at all
Reese: So... you cool with that?
Girl: Yes
Reese: Can I see your microwave then?
Girl: *leaves on read*
Reese: Hello?
Girl: ?
Reese: I said can I see your microwave?
Girl: *leaves on read*
Reese: Can you at least tell me the color of your microwave?
Girl: black
Reese: Oh okay, may I please see your microwave??? 🥺
Girl: *leaves on read*
Reese: FFFFFUUUUUUU........

Degen Hours

When someone living in NA goes to sleep during the same hours that Australians go to sleep.

You know you're in the degen hours when you and ur Aussie friend have the same sleeping schedule.

Tone Indicators

A very useful thing. Some people might find it cringe, but tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should really be used more often by people who naturally text in a cold and dry manner.

Scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??
Person 2: what
Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you😅

Scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok /gen
Person 1:👍

See how much less problematic the 2nd scenario was?

OnePlus

OnePlus phones used to be lauded by the Android community for bringing premium hardware and specs at a budget price. They are known for inventing the quote-on-quote "flagship killer". They lost all that merit once they started including a premium price alongside their premium phones, as well as "settling down" by removing the headphone jack. That is not to say their phones are bad, but they lost the core virtue of what they stood for. Today, people mainly buy a OnePlus just for the brand.

Like a famous Tech Youtuber once stated, "you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."

User X: After using an iPhone for my entire life, I finally decided to switch over to the OnePlus 9! So this is the flagship killer they've been talking about.

User Y: I hate to break it to ya but you're late to the party my guy. OnePlus has already settled, what you have is not a flagship killer anymore, it's just another high-end smartphone with a high-end price tag attached to it. IMO the OnePlus 3 was their peak smartphone.
User X: Idk man, the OnePlus 9 seems pretty great to me.
User Y: Oh don't get me wrong, the OnePlus 9 is a great phone and is a great pick for someone who's transitioning over from iPhone to Android. But this isn't the budget-friendly OnePlus we used to all love and know. That was my point.
