  • Sam once broke an early version of Google's voice assistant during a demo (but it was still impressive).
  • When 5G networks first went online, Sam walked over 10 miles in freezing rain, sleet, and snow to manually map data speeds across downtown Chicago.
  • Sam still can't decide if dual displays or an ultra-wide monitor is the perfect setup for a desktop PC.
