Rarity posted:If there is one combination of words you should not be seeing when talking about folding screen tech it's "broken screen issues" An expensive, delicate device that you shove in your pocket with all the grit and fluff in there, or drop on the beach? Surely that would be no problem for the tightly-packed moving parts that it depends on?

I figured for two thousand loving dollars a foldable phone could actually fold without breaking immediately. Though this is Samsung we are talking about. They figured out how to make batteries explode.

I absolutely love that article basically saying "other then the screen breaking when it's folded, the folding screen phone is great!" Like what other reason would you want the phone then to have that gimmick

I love the nonstop marketing grift for new features on phones. Gotta keep adding poo poo every year to increase sales. It used to be useful additions, now it's just increasingly stupid poo poo to justify higher prices. Breathless handjobs by tech journalism means that every device, no matter how stupid, gets glowing reviews. "Disintegrated into its constituent subatomic particles as soon as I unboxed it. 8.5/10"

Idk it's one thing for phones to be competing over pointless gimmicks like how many cameras they can cram on each side. That reminds me of the arms race that happened over multi-blade disposable razers. But flexible and folding screens would be pretty great and not just a marketing gimmick. That's a legit limiting factor on the design and usability at the moment. It looks like Samsung haven't cracked it yet, so god knows why they're proceeding with this release. Or maybe they have cracked it, that seems to be a major problem with these screens

other people posted:U.K. Defends Buying $16 Million New York Penthouse for Diplomat https://nyti.ms/2YmL2HI This came up recently for NZ too, our govt purchased something similar for ~$8m. It is actually a good idea and a sensible investment. Ambassadors (and consuls) host a lot of events, that's like the bulk of their job, so the other options are renting something modest (for like $60-80k/year? idk I'm sure Manhattan rents aren't cheap but ambos and consuls have to live ~10 mins from the embassy for emergency reasons) and then paying venue hire for events (probably racking up like $100k/year easily), or just renting the penthouse for like... $200k/year? Either way the accom is going to be expensive. This way the govt owns the capital rather than paying rents to private individuals, and will recoup the expenses within like 10 years anyway.

an actual frog posted:30k in London absolutely is "just about keeping your head above water, what is this emergency fund you talk of?!"-level. I guess butlers may save on oppressive rent by virtue of living in squalid servants quarters, though? Reminds me, the diplomat's palace they bought in New York had staff bedrooms that were smaller than the walk-in closet for the diplomat's family.
