Odd, it's already gone on sale a few times where I am.

I'm sure there'll only be people who read the headlines, so here's what's going on:
Overall shipments decreased by 40 million, but there were two companies who made gains within the top 5: Apple, who shipped 8 million units more, and Transsion, who shipped 22 million units more. Samsung dropped 40 million units, similar to the overall shipments. Looks like Transsion made the most of it during this dip, taking away marketshare from other Android phone makers.
No discount on Amazon etc? I can get it for ~US$250 already, where I am
Yea, the moment hotswap and a degree of customisability is called for, a lot of the mainstream "niceties" tend to be dropped.
Really love this community, so one-dimensional and not willing to accept alternate views, and can't wait to twist words in people's mouth to make themselves feel better intellectually superior.
Good luck in growing this community.
Gods, I hate these shitty headlines. The update is:
- An update to the weather widget.
Game doesn't even sound like it needs to be an MMO, which makes me wary. Actually, "Star Citizen-level ambition" is all that I need to run away from it.
Fairphone also deliberately chose an industrial variant of the Snapdragon 778G just so they could get by the issue mentioned by nyan.
Points 1, 2 and 3 are practically non-existent in the hobbyist mechanical keyboard space. You might get a few 100% boards but open floating design is not favoured, and passthrough is considered unnecessary.
One man's bloatware is another man's feature.
To talk about the article instead of ranting on about niche wants:
- 7 years of updates would be really good. Given how mature the hardware is nowadays, I can see a phone doing 7 years, save for the battery. Will Samsung be able to keep batteries in production?
- I'm less sold on the AI things, I guess that's the buzzword now. AI AI AI everywhere. Also the two features mentioned are already in Google products, and I'd rather use those if I have to, unless Samsung pulls out a surprise and show that they are better at software development than Google is.
The bonsai set is great, I still need to put it together. Maybe for the upcoming CNY!
