Google's Pixel Fold is pretty much what I'd like to see in a folding phone, whereas Samsung's extremely tall aspect ratio is a bit too thin for one-handed use.

Other competitors have figured out the formula for something that works well open and closed, so for the Fold type devices I'd like to see Samsung improve on the design and squish it a little, especially because it is so thick when folded.

Flip-style devices on the other hand, those are immediately cool. If the Z Flip had similar cameras to the S23, I would have considered holding out for one. The battery life on the S23 is what won me over.

Although the statistic would be insane and likely never repeated in history, I don't want Red Bull to win every race this year. Someone else other than Max or Checo needs to win for once.

Checo won't be allowed to win anything for the rest of the year, IMO. If there's a chance for Max to win, I think Red Bull will prioritise that.

This is the basis of the ASUS warranty issues recently when they had exploding AM5 motherboards and vague text about EXPO support voiding warranty, painting themselves into a corner when they only had unsupported firmware that would technically void warranty.

It doesn't matter that the company says "Oh we won't enforce that rule" but they still keep the rule in place.

macOS? You gotta be kidding. Windows and Office is huge.

Just the entrenchment of Sharepoint and Outlook alone is enough to make switching to anything else a difficult prospect.

Hungary in a sense is still old school - races are won based on sector 2 performance and tyre strategies. There are still overtakes thanks to DRS and the new aero design, but it's still a battle against tyre degradation.

The on-boards with telemetry were very interesting. You don't usually see the drivers slowly modulating the throttle out of corners, but everyone was doing it to extend the tyres.

Apples to oranges. The RTX 4080 competitor is the RX 7900 XTX. The RTX 4070 Ti competitor is the RX 7900XT.

Logically the next thing to come out is the competitor to the RTX 4070, and a direct market replacement for the RX 6900 series and RX 6800XT. That should be the RX 7800.

If anything, it's NVIDIA that has confused everyone by hiking up prices and the naming scheme.

The launcher isn't really the problem, it's the fact that Overwatch 2 isn't making them any money!

This one should have DDR5-7200 support assuming the AGESA updates are intended to match future JEDEC spec updates.

Spez has almost never had the gift of foresight.

So it's an underclocked RX 7600? Interesting choice.

Would be wild to have Intel Arc Battlemage as an option to slot in there.
