Honestly, don't care. Until it gets shitty (which it still has a good chance of doing so), I'll continue to use it.

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.

It's Singapore man, we don't have a real rural population any more.

Honestly, as much as I wanted a car as a 20-something, I do think this is for the better. There needs to be some adjustments as a lot of the buyers are commercial entities trying to corner a somewhat unsustainable ridehailing market, but overall I'm happy with the tradeoff, especially with the improvement in public transport in recent years.

Between this and the general population's preference for videos (even when they could've been a written article), I despair.

Many Asia countries too, probably Europe too.

Try living in a society that has WhatsApp as default. I cannot do my job without it.

Saw this article posted earlier by someone, and I'm going to say the same thing: Sus source, article reads like an AI generated one.

1. No internal battery means it's not a product with a built-in obsolence period (which is fairly short, 3-5 years)
2. Most of the better audio gear are all wired
3. I mean, it's simple economics: Not paying for all the extra stuff to make it wireless means you get better value for audio quality
4. Many people here are enthusiasts in tech and hardware, we likely have more than a few devices. Switching between devices with BT is a fucking PITA.

I'm not a Linux fan, but even disregarding the OS (SteamOS vs Windows), the fact that most of these "killers" don't come with touch pads of any kind makes them an instant loss. So many PC games use a mouse, I'm not using a fiddly thumbstick in its place.

Nearly 30 years after I first heard "Linux will take over Windows"! Think that was in 1994 or 1995.

We're early adopters. Early adopters have a higher tolerance for (and ability to deal with) things like bugs, confusing UI, uncertainty, and probably continual change for the short term.

Not to mention, a lack of content. While it's populating nicely it's still not like Reddit, especially for niche subjects. You definitely have to endure a lot of shouting in the wind situations while this builds up.
