I guess relatively few people still turn to piracy, it seems like all these streaming platforms are massively increasing their prices knowing that their customers will try to rationalise the extra spending somehow.

The screen crease is barely noticeable on newer flip foldables. This is one of those issues that people who have never owned a flip foldable think is a massive issue, but in reality it is something you very quickly adjust to and ignore. It is similar to the camera notch, except the camera notch is always visible whereas the screen crease is impossible to see in certain conditions (darker lighting, darker themes, etc).
The US is a single country. Europe is a continent with 50+ countries. Whether or not the phone releases in a single country does not determine how "global" the launch is.
More than 70% of central banks are currently researching and/or designing their own CBDCs.
They were annoying from a reparability perspective but they did look good. I suspect many of the people who had problems with accidental touches didn't understand how to hold a smartphone (using pinky as support at the bottom). I actually saw a reviewer complaining about this on a new phone recently, and the way they were holding it made absolutely no sense.
Hand ID is definitely the worst on that list I think, partially because it was introduced at a time when LG's mobile division was really struggling and needed a phone that would sell. They needed a dated notch design for it to work, at a time when competitors like Samsung were bringing in much more modern looking hole punch cutouts. It's no wonder LG pulled out of the marker shortly after, whoever was in charge tbere had zero understanding of what was important to the average consumer.
"Crypto is the future" doesn't really mean anything. Anyone can say that and never be wrong, because humans will always be looking towards the future. What I'm interested in is when this future is supposedly arriving. People have been making big claims about this stuff for nearly two decades and it's still pretty irrelevant. Meanwhile CBDCs are actually being developed and rolled out globally. Where is crypto?
If you search on solidtorrents.to there is a version with ~17 seeders.
It's a valid question, but the people asking it never seem to understand why social media is damaging for young people. They never seem to understand that designers are literally taking cues from the gambling industry to create addictive apps and algorithms, or that the brains of teenagers are still developing and are therefore much more vulnerable than an adult's. It's not just a moral panic about porn or cyber-bullying or kids doing something new their parents don't understand and it's not hypocritical for parents to want their children off social media while continuing to use it themselves. I think once you understand the technological aspect then it becomes clear that there is a problem here that needs addressing.
Marshall...?
WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL IT MALL-E?!
WHY?!
If you have slower internet or don't seed 24/7, I would recommend just focusing on seediing torrents with a low number of seeders. It doesn't really matter if you leech the latest episode of a popular new TV series, as there will be so many other seeders, (many with a better capacity to seed). However, for something older or more niche your decision to seed or leech could determine whether someone else gets to enjoy that content.
Modern flip foldables? Like 2023/24 releases? The razr 40 was a massive improvement in terms of the crease and all flips released since seem to have caught up.
