So the A1366 is being recalled. Lucky for me I have a A1244, which I'm sure doesn't share any of the same components.

Couldn’t they split the ARM soc so it’s like x86 pcs? Separate GPU and CPU (Apple silicon) for desktops? Then they could offer future upgrades up to a certain point in time

That’s the point of pure research. R&D is both research and development and it generally aims to solve a problem. Research is done by universities more often while R&D is done by industry. That’s not to say that university research can’t look to solve a problem.

I am an R&D engineer and the number of companies that fund research that doesn’t solve a problem is very very few.

A foldable phone tried to solve the problem of allowing for a larger screen while fitting in a pocket. There was a problem to solve. Studying butterfly migration for the sake of understanding them better is research that doesn’t solve a problem directly.

Fair. I guess that’s the viability they’re exploring, unlike everyone else who got excited and released them and now has to warranty them and try to retain unhappy customers because the durability vs. utility does not compute.

You'd be surprised how little executives know about the business going on below them, they just like seeing profits. I honestly don't think this was malice or Anker/eufy thinking they could hide it from people forever, it was an oversight. Oversight doesn't mean it is ok though at all! These sorts of things should be avoided and corrected when pointed out for sure. I just don't really see the benefit they would gain from knowingly lying about it.

I’ve heard the Z Folds are a lot sturdier than the z flips, but I have no experience with them.

I never said it was cheaper.

Just better.

While most of what you said is true. That 50GB on the S22 is the difference between GiB and GB. Samsung counts this difference between GB and GiB as part of the storage used by the system. labeling these conversion losses under 'system' is a strange practice and causes confusion.

For example, a device advertised with 512 GB of storage actually has closer to 476 GB (GiB) of usable space. Likewise, a 128 GB model has approximately 119 GB of storage, with 256 GB yielding 238 GB of space.

Tim Cook's Apple is terrible. He's taking the Sculley approach.

That sounds like Bullshit, I had the original z flip for a year and a half and never had an issue. Caseless and didn't baby it at all,it was covered in scratches and dents on the outside from being rough with it.

I did have one issue with my z fold,but Samsung had a courier collect it from my house and repair it at no cost.

They're not for everyone, but the benefits of a tablet in my pocket are amazing, but if you want a normal phone just buy anything else,they're all practically the same these days.

Lol so true. Apple is terrible.

Enjoy your 10k laptop.

Fair, my parents have a Samsung fridge/ice maker that's still going after 10 years and never repaired to my knowledge

I disagree about the appliances. We bought everything Samsung, fridge, dishwasher, oven, washer, dryer. We have had major problems with each of them and they are only a few years old. Never again

Great. Now you can get served ads to your eyes. Nope

Life hack!!!! Life hack this camera into your life hacks!! I’m hacking!!!

Sure, I don't disagree. It's what I would do too.

But if your goal is a screen that could change pictures when you want at no additional cost, that's something that a printed photo can't do.

Yea I got this exact power bank at target.

Any recommendations for a good brand? I look at Amazon… but not happy with knock off brands

I use UGREEN HDD enclosures. Full SMART passthrough, never had an issue with the brand so I'd happily trust their power banks!

Oh, interesting. Any idea if they share anything other than a name?
