“If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It’s a country based on theater. It’s a lunatic state - completely insane”.

  • Not who you asked but since I recently got my first foldable an Honor Magic V5 after previously owning the iPhone 3G, 4S, 5, 6, SE, XR and 13 mini. I also had the iPad 1, 2, and 3. Here’s my answer:

    1. Multitasking, I can run 3 apps side by side.
    2. I can be productive with it using apps such as OnlyOffice, just hook up a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard
    3. Great for emulating DS and 3DS games, most Bluetooth controllers should just work
    4. There’s a desktop mode but I haven’t actually used it yet. The standard multitasking features in MagicOS have been sufficient for me.

    But best of all, it is a mini tablet that fits in my pocket and I can take anywhere with me.

    Why I chose the Honor Magic V5:

    1. Significantly cheaper than the competition
    2. Largest battery of any foldable


  • If the industry gets together this could be Google’s PS/2 and OS/2 moment.

    Historical context via Wikipedia:

    The PS/2 line was created by IBM partly in an attempt to recapture control of the PC market by introducing the advanced yet proprietary Micro Channel architecture (MCA) on higher-end models. These models were in the strange position of being incompatible with the hardware standards previously established by IBM and adopted in the IBM PC compatible industry. Most major PC manufacturers balked at IBM’s licensing terms for MCA-compatible hardware, particularly the per-machine royalties. The OS/2 operating system was announced at the same time as the PS/2 line and was intended to be the primary operating system for models with Intel 80286 or later processors. However, at the time of the first shipments, only IBM PC DOS 3.3 was available. OS/2 1.0 (text-mode only) and Microsoft’s Windows 2.0 became available several months later. IBM also released AIX PS/2, a UNIX operating system for PS/2 models with Intel 386 or later processors.















  • I would argue that “less shitty” that pretends to be good and lulls people into compliance is worse than “more shitty” that riles up people to resist any way they can. If the outcome will always be “shitty” then perhaps the one that will result in the long term weakening of the system is better.
