   After many, many years, I've added a second wish to my list of things I'd like to happen when I die.

   I want my tombstone to read

   "Here lies Nate.

   He hated Samsung. Like, a lot."

   I'm not joking.

     @warmbeverageenjoyer @picofarad "Worse"? Not really. "Easy to pick on"? Loads.

     I'm planning a loose blog post in the coming weeks, but the general gist:
     - Phones get hacked in the exact same way multiple years in a row
     - Shoddy cybersecurity
     - Phones are made to break (worse than most companies)
