Outputting clean reports is one thing, but "normalizing" the time to make it look better, or as though I'm more busy, is something else entirely. I appreciate the effort, but this tool has the very real potential to get a contractor or employee sued for time fraud. I highly recommend against normalization of time data. The contractor either worked a full 30 or s/he didn't. It's black and white. Saying s/he worked for 30 when s/he worked for 25 is a lie, and subject to lawsuits and further legal action.

Unfortunately, no. The last one I've used was last year's Samsung flip. Z Flip 5, I think. I really want to try the Razr 40, though, and the Pixel Fold.

Increasing prices again by 56%, now this. Google is gunning for the most evil corporation award.

I've used them. The crease is not unnoticeable. Sure, you may forget it's there after a while, but it is still there. And that's not what I was talking about. Specifically, the delamination that tends to occur after extended use. That's the issue they need to figure out. And to your camera point: my phone has a cutout, and I hate it. It always gets in the way. Yes, I get used to it, but it's there, and it blocks a small part of the screen.

My point with all of this, is not that these folding phones suck and shouldn't be made just because it has a crease. I hate the notch. I can't stand the crease. This doesn't mean they bother you. My point, however, is that unless this is actually new, it's not new and is, therefore, irrelevant.

Edit: as an aside, I've owned a Xiaomi, and it was the worst phone I have ever used. Actually, it was awesome for about 5 months, then started degrading, then turned itself off randomly after the 6-month time. I had to replace it after 6 months. To give perspective, I keep phones for years. The phone before that Xiaomi lasted 5 years, before it started having battery issues.

If I may venture a guess:

There are four of these chips (1302, 1105, 1507, 1202). Someone, trying to speed-talk, referred to them as the "four thousand-series chips" (instead of the "four, one-thousand-series chips"), and someone misheard or misunderstood that as the "4000-series chips". After several levels of this telephone game, marketing got involved, and they were just renamed into the 4000 series instead of redoing the marketing documents.

Just a guess.

I have this one, and never got used to it. I should try again.

Oh, you are correct. But this doesn't stop them from attempting to do so at every turn.
