  • About 6 montha ago I wanted to replace my S21 battery and checked with Samsung, who redirected me to iFixit. The only genuine Samsung S21 battery they had was only sold with the screen, which cost ~$130 or something. I didn’t need the screen…

    Last month I checked again and saw they had a third party replacement battery for ~$30, same capacity. I bought it and popped it in. It’s been working fine.

    Was it Samsung’s requirement that the battery only be sold with the screen? At the time, I would have rather had the genuine Samsung battery and would have paid a bit extra for it, but not $100 extra.










  • Cuckoo. It’s a Korean brand, probably better than the Japanese brands imo. If you have an H-mart near you they’ll have a couple models on the floor you can look at, but I bought mine on amazon. It’s big, fast, can cook all types of rice with special settings, and everything that comes in contact with the rice pot is removable for cleaning. It’s been going strong for about 5 years and I use it at least once a week.

    You can also cook anything in there. It comes with a steamer tray too for vegetables or sweet potatoes. Apparently mine can cook a whole chicken but I have yet to try that. Oh and it talks too, plus it makes a cute choo-choo train sound to signal it’ll vent steam in a second.
