Not sure if it’s just a Japanese thing but something similar is done here in Singapore. I’m not sure if it is the case for girls but for guys they did ask us to take off our pants.

They’re not technically wrong at least, the IDF killing civilians has plenty of precedent.

Yea if they hadn’t cancelled the compact back then, I would’ve went with it instead of the S10e I got af the time.

That’s literally not at all what they said. They mentioned that it could potentially help the child through a torturous flight. Whether or not that is indeed the case or not is at the very least a noteworthy discussion.

Being obtuse about it, is not helpful in any way.

Sounds a lot like what the fascist regimes of world war 2 were doing…

If you’ve never played the sequels, the story for those are amazing.

It’s a form factor where software is even more important though. I’m sure that for some people the larger screen is fine enough but at that price point, the average person needs more value out of that cost. To each their own but it does seem that it’s not as clear cut as YouTubers may make it seem. There’s also the fact that Samsung does provide far better deals and support at least in this country compared to their Chinese counterparts.

As a foldable guy, I live in Singapore where Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo also sell their foldables. They look okay at a glance but walk into any store and try them and the software immediately makes the phone feel underbaked.

There’s a reason despite that and their lower prices, there’s still far more common to see people with Samsung’s foldables than their Chinese counterparts.

Also, in Chinese, thank you is often abbreviated as 3q, because when you say it out loud, it sounds like “thank you” (san kyu)

This is in Japanese too.

Ah yes, we’re all Asians and Chinese, one whole family so we should support each other! Except if you disagree with us, fuck you then.

That’s such a slap on the wrist for what she has done.

I agree with you but a ton of people don’t so I think this is a good compromise. Give all the people who want a wide unwieldy, slim foldable for those who want it and charge them the premium for it. Just don’t touch my pen capable, comfortably one-handed thick and narrow Fold.

Isn’t the point to ruin the view with the net? A longer stick ain’t gonna help here.

I used to be pretty stubborn about wanting a stock experience especially after the bloated sluggish mess that was TouchWiz but they’ve really turned things around.

There’s a lot of One UI features that I take for granted now (same thing I also hear from friends who switched to a Pixel) and it also looks way better than stock after Google did the whole Material 3 change. The main annoyance I have is with the default launcher and keyboard but those can easily be changed to third party alternatives anyways.

I second this, the wider ones are so much more comfortable to use and do a great job.

Tell that to the huge amount of gullible older ethnic Chinese people who’ve been receiving all sorts of China propaganda. As someone who’s living in Singapore and witnessed so much of this, it’s disgusts me what they’re doing.

Something about this just sounds dystopian as hell.

On a similar note, the quality of the vibration motor also matters. The Pebble I had and the Galaxy Watch 6 that I have right now vibrate with a subtle haptic-like feel which is subtle yet strong enough to wake you up. On the other hand, I had a cheap Garmin Vivoactive that would buzz really strong and be really loud.

Singapore here, we don’t usually tip but it’s sort of forced into the overall cost as a 10% service charge in certain restaurants. No tips on takeout but some places will charge you a couple of tens of cents for the takeaway container. This is usually for smaller cheaper stalls though, usually never happens at restaurants.

I wish more companies made narrow book style foldable like Samsung does. It’s a much better form factor for one handed use and books so it’s a shame that Samsung’s not getting any competition there.
