they weren’t completely wrong now. on thier own financials, its mentioned that only 30% of game sales are physical. physical buyers are now the minority.

employment potential and learning are generally problems if you are young. if you are old, the time investment to learn a new language is generally not self beneficial as your time of employability starts to dwindle.
Linux ultimately will have to run into the situation of if the people want the newer language to become the mainstream, they need to be more proactive at the development of the kernel itself instead of relying on yhe older generation, who does ot the way they only know how, as relearning and rewriting everything ultimately to them, a waste of time at their point in life.
think like proton was for gaming. you dont(and will not) convince all devs to make linux compatible games using a vulkan branch. the solution in that front was to create a translation layer to offload most of that work off because its nonsensical to expect every dev to learn vulkan. this would be applied moreso to the linux kernel, so the only realistic option (imo) is that the ones who are working in rust need to make the rust based kernel and hope that it takes off in a few years to actually gain traction.
would they not have to have evidence that a review is fake? especially if you bought a product (e. g on amazon) its very easy to verify you have likely bought a product and have it in question to review.
although im critical of vinfasts quality, makes sense that its citizens are buying them when theyre only paying 13k for the cheapest model and own the majority of the charging network.
bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.
the whole point of destiny was microsoft wanted them to keep working on Halo, but they wanted to work on something else, so they bought their independence
technically 3, VIA still has a x86 license, they just don’t do consumer parts.
arm is a mixed bag. iirc atm the gpu on the Snapdragon X Elite is disabled on Linux, and consumer support is reliant on how well the hardware manufacturer supports it if it closed source driver. In the case of qualcomm, the history doesnt look great for it
arm is very primed to take a lot of market share of server market from intel. Amazon is already very committed on making their graviton arm cpu their main cpu, which they own a huge lion share of the server market on alone.
for consumers, arm adoption is fully reliant on the respective operating systems and compatibility to get ironed out.
point where i blame the individuals, the blame is clearly on the bad actors (e.g bots)
you dont need a cellular connection for it to function, just a decent chunk of its software options would stop working (for obvious reasons). and the built in maps would stop updating
its abnormal to them because vpns are often also used by bad actors. your use is not abnormal but its a there are other people misusing it making it worse for everyone else.
if Bartlett Lake rumor ends up being true, ironically LGA 1700 had a much longer lifespan than intel would typically have (it would introduce a 4th series to LGA 1700), which would technically put it in a similarish boat to AM5 generation wise in count. (Zen, Zen+, Zen 2, Zen 3 vs Alder lake, Raptor Lake, Raptor Lake+, Bartlett Lake)
the only problem for intell of course is the middle generations top end is basically now unusable
if you have to do that many, you either have some privacy setting on or on a flagged ip given from a VPN
the portability was the implied aspect of the original post, as I didn’t just say iPad, but went out of my way to specifically say ipad mini/smaller iPad, as these two devices are mainly used by people on the go, as they fit well. It’s the primary reason why the iPad mini in particular is advertised to women, as they often carry the one bag that can carry it (their purse) which may possibly not carry the larger ipads (11 or 13" ones). The target audience has primarily been those doing this stuff on the go.
It doesn’t solve any problem with at-home media consumption because there is no problem.
so why bring it up as a usecase for folding phones, the point is getting that screen space on the go.
It sounds like you have massively fallen for the marketing here.
I don’t even have a folding phone, and only recently got a tablet strictly for reading purposes, but i don’t throw out the people who do consume content away from home. Like I said, the purpose of the device brings the new ability to not bring something else with you. the product addresses a niche, and by using an example that doesnt cover the niche doesn’t invalidate the one major usecase it has in the first place. I’m like on the extremely far end of the folding phones target audience (prefers small phones, uses desktop PC, no personal TV) so thinking that i’ve fallen for marketing is a laughing statement. I just acknowlege there are people who actually use larger screens away from home, and this product is directed towards them. Folding phones stay a niche because the target audience is a niche. It’s not meant to cover the general market unless it also competes in cost. It was my kind of people (people who prefer smaller phones) who were secrificed for larger screens (e.g iphone mini being canceled in favor of a iphone plus model) so I know damn well there is a market out there where people prefer watching stuff on a larger screen. it’s one of the main reasons why average screen size has gotten bigger and bigger.
it’s to give an example, some people may not have a tv all over their house, which to go into other rooms, they have other options. if it’s not a phone, it can potentially be other devices like a laptop and not just necessarily a tablet. The problem is using such a very specific usecase (someone who uses a tablet to watch things, ONLY at home, prefers to not use a TV, prefers to not use a desktop computer connected to a monitor and does NOT have a laptop, or chooses to not use the size of said laptop) is a very very super specfic usecase. Especially in a world now with WFM, the number of people with laptops is likely a lot higher too. The folding phone solves the problem as I stated before, those who choose to not want to carry something extra on the go, but get the extra screen real estate. At home use has to compete with several alternatives, and if you are considering using a tablet at home a lot, the novelty of a folding phone was never even in your market.
why bring up an argument for sole home use for an object that is more often used on the go? Especially in context of a tablet, when if you were at home and wanted a large form factor screen, the TV becomes an option.
but you have to carry 2x the items, which is the main thing. only one of the choices you can functionally do without a bag at all. You’re more or less making the DSLR argument where you could claim there’s no point on having good cameras on phones because you can carry a DSLR on you and take significantly better photos. Sometimes a choice is made for the ability to not carry something.
basically market has always shown convenience often trumps ownership, music streaming, video streaming, games now. ownership is the vocal minority
