They always had their own fabs. Utilising TSMC for their GPU's was a recent thing. For all the mistakes they have done, their GPU efforts are actually noteworthy but you don't even have to compare them to ARM or other GPU manufacturers, just look at AMD, they've been killing it.

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

Don't forget the potential oxidation issues.

That's still something that works more than good enough without the use of an NPU. We'll see if better use cases come out in future but I'd still prefer that power and die area go to raw CPU processing power.

Indefinitely implies never being able to go back which is much more similar to your analogy though. Either way, it's clearly a click bait headline.

Yea I actually really like 5v5. It changed the pace of the game to something that I actually like compared to Overwatch 1. That said, the game still failed to keep my interest weeks after release so maybe I'm really just not part of their target audience.

I was prompted during the initial set up of my Fold 6 (Singapore SKU) on whether I wanted to enable it or not though and the option was disabled by default. So something doesn't seem right here or maybe this is an American SKU only thing?

The article actually talks about Azure which was using CrowdStrike internally so their point is valid but the headline is absolutely wrong. Azure is nowhere near a monopoly and it ends up implying that Windows, now Azure was the issue they're describing.

I gave up and used an extension to remove video recommendations, blocked shorts and auto redirect me to my subscriptions list away from the home page. It's a lot more pleasant to use now.

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.

This article also does a really good in depth explanation about the topic although it does get a lot more technical but if you're interested, it's a really good read.
