Honestly im considering buying one Just for the gimkick factor alone. I do like phones that have some gimmick. About the actual usefulness of said gimmick. Well i bought note once for the gimmick alone. Have i ever used the pencil. Only for solving nonograms. Nothing more. Folding phones gimmick on the other hand seems to be way better than the note gimkick, particualry the fold series, flips are questionable alghtough arguably they Look more cool. But the durability of both seems sketchy at Best, especialy since my notę 4 is still used in my family by my grandma and it still feels snapy to use.

So would i buy one. Not really. The thing with my old note 4 was that i managed to buy it used for a very reasonable price and im not sure i would touch used folding phone with a 3 feet pole, and a full priced 1000$ phones are a scam as far as i am concerned. If you want fun gimmick i Would honestly recomend rog phone 6 instead ( cool, should be reasonably priced, fun aestethic ) or a hopefully soon to be fairphone 5 (i never thought i would call removable battery a gimmick but here we are in 2023) . But If you swim in money by any means buy a flip or fold,why not.

No its Just that at some point disk speed provides marginal improvments for most games, especialy since most games were designed with hdd drivers in mind . And sd vs ssd in steam deck are at that point. There are exceptions to that, but they are pretty rare ( alghtough i cant remember one right now but i know i watched one comparison where nvme disk provided actual reasonable benefit compared to sata so i imagine its even bigger with sd card ). So unless you play very specific game a lot that you know benefits from fast disk speed then it dosent really matter that much.

From what i know you can put shaders on sd card.

My God instaling Windows is the most horrific thing that exist. There are arch installers that are more user Friendly. The only reason pepole dont complain about it is beacuse Windows comes preinstaled on everything.

Also weirdly enough i had more problem with my nvidia gpu on windows rather than Linux (where the sensible distributions come with drivers preinstaled)

The old soviet legacy. And a bit of actual disasters and from the 2 significant ones (hiroshima and chernobyl) half are beacuse of the soviets.

Its also beacuse Apple dosent have cheap tier of phones. So you have the classic went from a 100 dollar android to 1000 dollar iphone case. Like no shit sherlock obviusly extremly cheap phones are crap. Also for some reason the most common phone Brand on the planet is somehow treated like a status symbol. I would kinda uderstand sony phones being status symbol or samsung foldables but iphones But truth be told I really dont get Apple users. I tried one and other than it being really smooth (beacuse my Main phone is a cheap huawei) it was worse in every metric that mattered to me other than sound while costing 4 to 6 Times as much .

Its actually kinda ridicoulus that somehow features get removed from the top kodeks first and then it slowly trickles down to cheaper phones. You would think pepole paying literaly a 1000 dollars for a phone would complain first and foremost. But then again some pepole replace their phones every 2 years Just beacuse(its not like you need need new more powerful phones for pretty much any use including gaming, with the only known to me exception being emulators, but that is a very specific niche ).

Capthas are ineffective since a ver very long time

Yup i Just checked that amazon is worth 1.32 trilion. I really thought it was worth much less. Frankly speaking the bigger question it begs is whetewer any company should be valued that much in the first place,beacuse my God there is no reason the barerly profitable amazon that skims through just beacuse of the AWS should be worth that much. Also stock buybacks should be taxed like dividends(looking at you Apple). You should Just tax the company instead of investors on stock buybacks.

I dont think they in reality do exist(or to be precise not the ones you think about). Most of the bilionares have their wealth tied to the stock so if they wanted for some reason to use a significant proportion of it they would have to sell their stocks which would crash their companies valuation if they even found enough pepole to buy those stocks,so i doubt they are bilionares in reality, alghtough certainly most of them could come up with a few hundred milions (or much much more if we are talking about actual asset like in case of elon musk buying Twitter , but that in reality Just changes the stock their net worth is tied to) . Now oligarhs and warlords from dictatorships and failed states are completely another thing and they likely by siphoning money from state owned companies actually are just that wealthy but we can all agree that they are pathological cases regardless of your political alignment. There are also a few cases of inherited wealth but those are rare beacuse as it turns out even if you have a butload of money you can Stil somehow spend it on stupid shit(not to mention the fact that bilionares and milionares tend to have quite a lot of children so that divides their wealth between them even further ) .

So as always its not as simple alghtough i definietly do agree that pepole nowadays tend to simp on wealthy pepole a bit too much. (alghtough it seems sentiment shifted through pandemic to eat the Rich category, but that might be Just my bubble of internet recomendations). They are still wealthy as f*. They really do not need another tax break and they Will indeed survive being taxed much more than ordinary citizens, it is after all the country and its pepole that allowed them to become so Rich in the first place(By the said country providing education or reasonable legislative framework protecting their Business or offering lower taxation when they were starting out) it is reasonable that they give something back through higer taxes. And bilionare/milionares charity is a tax break, Not a charity.

Some IT companies also try to make sure you can work on your hobbies in free Time ( in my case it works like this. Here is a room with 3d printers raspberry pi etc. Have fun, Just make sure your work is done and clients dont complain )

Does it matter tho? I am currently on android 9 and I have yet to find something that dosent work on this version. Longer security updates are much more Important than the os ones.
