Looking at the numbers, it seems that for whatever reason the line listed as “promotional discount” at $120 wasn’t taken off the pre tax value. Is that like store credit you have from something else in the past?

Samsung z fold 3. Overall, I really like having a sizable screen on the go that doesn’t require me to carry it around in a separate bag. The big screen also makes split screen/multiple windows for apps actually pretty viable and I definitely don’t just use this to run 4 instances of pokemon go. The downsides are no custom roms for the phone, and basically every general complaint about Samsung people have made. Battery leaves room to be desired, but unless I’m really using the phone a lot, it gets through the day perfectly fine. A trivial bonus is that the 4:3 screen is perfect for wii/gamecube emulation on the go.

Like say telling to automakers they must include this design feature called seat belt and this another design feature called airbag

Exactly like that. It isn’t the government’s place to demand what features I want in my stuff.

The fact that no one who knows about ad-blockers will realistically turn it off for youtube kinda drives them into a corner right?

Maybe they should address the core reasons that everyone who is aware uses ad blockers.

So like, they saw the Xbox one literally fumble an entire generation of consoles because they planned to have always online even though they cut it due to backlash, and thought “maybe people would like this for their primary computer”? What kind of ass backwards marketing is that? People were absolutely fucking pissed they couldn’t lay around and play whatever shitty games xbox got. Imagine if instead of crappy games it’s literally everything done on the computer that can’t be accomplished if not connected, especially for laptops where you might be somewhere you don’t have a solid connection. Imagine not only losing what you’re currently doing online, but getting booted from the entire os because someone tripped over an ethernet cable.

As a user of a folding phone, the aspect ratio problem isn’t actually as common as I expected. The only apps I’ve had issues with are pokemon go, which refuses to acknowledge that wide aspect ratios exist, and Instagram, which sometimes struggles with the 3:4 screen since most photos are squares.

Also, it can easily be worked around by split screening apps with something else. I usually just run two instances of pokemon go, which then both work fine on the tall aspect ratio of half the screen.

Also, a bit of a niche use, but the 4:3 landscape is perfect for playing gamecube games
