you have practical, working tsmc chips plus next-gen r&d versus theoretical chips from Intel, a company that has not fared well over 30 years of trying to catch up with TSMC.

they're not worried yet.

At least the emulator is archived and seeded all over the place at this point.

it sucks that the the dev team won't be able to continue working on it, but the emulator itself is still available and functions shockingly well.

The product didn't fail, American business culture failed.

they should have worked this into the title:

"A company needs to grow.

In the past few decades, the idea that every company should be growing, predictably and boundlessly and forever, has leached from the technology industry into much of the rest of American business."

Wow, those guys are assholes.

Talk about karmic retribution.

I travel a lot, and the most valuable intrinsic lesson I absorb from it is interacting with people completely different than me socioeconomically and in every other way and realizing how fundamentally similar everybody is underneath the trappings of their immediate environment, whether that be culture, birthright or another wave crashing into their egos.

is your dad... the greasy strangler!

Even the trailer is completely demented.

It's worth watching if you like. really really weird shit, I can't say I've ever seen anything exactly like it before.

certainly 6

party on

wow, talk about a book I'd love to read again, good connection with Clarisse.

i dream of lichen, clover and brush

i leased a house and let the backyard grow wild outside of a small barbecue area, maybe 20x20 ft, because it was huge and I wanted to create it safe space for all the critters.

without a single exception, every single neighbor or person who saw it (we had a gate leading into the backyard) asked about it, and when I told them that honey bees visited everyday and we had fireflies at night threw me an expression like I had just explained to them that it was a great place for people to take a shit in public.

I couldn't appreciate the visual sea lion anymore.What is gish galloping, which I would also appreciate a visual reference for if available.

woo, lots of strong acting choices, lots of accents, single takes no redos, weird enough to be some fun.

the camera trickery is effective.

moved abroad, found out things in most countries are a fraction of what they cost in the states for the same or better quality.

I consistently learn new things in new cultures while living well within my means and saving money.

"False".

you are not convincing.

you insist that using existing technology is the same thing as developing new technology, which it isn't.

were you similarly blown way when Gillette added a third blade to the safety razor?

"Why won't you acknowledge when all reviews say that Huawei made the first trifold?"

because 1. they are specifically referring to a commercial launch, not new technology(a hinge).and 2. I don't value or believe doubtful headlines without evidence.

Tecno released a demonstration of a tri-fold phone in August, it took me one second to find that video, so with almost zero I've heard, we found at least one company showing off a tri-fold phone before Huawei's commercial launch.

other companies were working on and build prototypes of trifold phones, Huawei decided to bring one to market first.

we'll see if that was a good idea after people have the chance to actually purchase it and use it.

It's good for huawei you are excited about the extra hinge, that excitement is necessary for the $3,000 price tag,

Here, this will blow your mind;

5 hinges that fold on the inside and outside:

what will they think of next?

6 hinges?

that would be a coup.

I'll probably give it a watch all the way until they eventually get to "Skis".

you know what, if ship does okay, I bet they'll do "Train".

not yet. i saved it too, but haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

It's more childish to pretend huawei made the first trifold phone when they may the first commercial trifold phone.

they didn't develop or innovate new technology to add one more fold.

"you need technological innovation to make the idea possible"

someone did, I hope you'll notice that Huawei is not claiming to have developed some new innovation.

which makes sense, considering there are other companies that already made trifold phones.

they added one more fold to a phone using the established and developed technology of foldable screens, and have brought it to mass market first, that's all.

there are no new features, no efficiency gains, certainly not cost effective, nothing is significantly different about this phone except that another screen and hinge has been added.

a third fold to reach true tablet size that people have been talking about and companies have been developing for years is a logical development in foldable phones and foldable screens, established technologies, not innovation.

I hope people enjoy it (for that price tag they better), and I hope it spurs development in the field.

I'm excited to see the reviews once it's been used for a few weeks.

I saw the headlines, but there were definitely trifled phones before Huawei released theirs.

I'll check though.

first result is the Tecno trifold, and he's talking about the Samsung trifold Z, which of course, it's just one more screen, The natural evolution of folding phones to get to the tablet size.

I don't think innovation is the word here.

innovation is a new idea resulting in some sort of paradigm shift or surprising development, not the logical progression of a known process like a foldable phone.

let me control my TVs and other devices with an IR blaster again please.

that was innovative.

I'm glad Huawei is forcing other companies to develop better tri-fold phones so that eventually we have viable phone tablets.

isn't nexus a Google phone?

it has slightly upgraded specs from the HTC one, but the One came out 2 years previous, with truly innovative features like front-facing speakers so that you could hear the audio clearly and an IR blaster, plus it had self-diagnostics so that you could test a second hand phone before you bought it or troubleshoot yours very easily with the series of diagnostic tasks.

what's the innovative part of the 6p?

ooh, I do like that the Nexus adopted the front-facing speakers and aluminum body from HTC One, that was a smart move.

not innovative 2 years later after those features were developed, but definitely a smart move by a hopeful company.

a slightly weaker battery, but 2 years after the HTC One, I would have been interested in the 6P as the logical next step; add 1 GB of RAM, add the new bands, slightly higher ppi.

I was disappointed when the M8 went backward with PPI, HTC one had 468 in 2013, new huawei phones in 2024 have 402 ppi.

that's rough stuff, all the companies are doing it too, skimping out on screens in favor of shitty proprietary software.
