So it looks like they are arresting the workers but not doing anything about them not being paid.

It says they passed some new law that's supposed to help but it may just be a way to make it harder for the workers to organize. Who knows?

I kinda want to get a folding phone but they cost like $1,200.

Any phone can be a folding phone; at least once.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

It's the unfolding that is the issue.

If they aren't a fad, they won't be any good for several years.

They are on the second generation of both the Samsung and Motorola. Both have already made major improvements in specs and probably more importantly, durability. I'm just bored of the slab phone. Before smartphones, phones were fun. Companies took risks with designs. These folding phones are hopefully the return of some originality to the industry.

I think of them like paper clips.
There's only so many times you can bend one before it breaks.

I vote for fad. The phone hardware stopped being important in the 90s. Now it is what the phone will do.

My son uses my previously previous phone, a Droid Turbo 2 (with the unbreakable screen).

Yeah, my iPhone 6s has trouble with the cord charging it once in awhile. Sometimes I have run some canned air through the charging port.

The wireless charger is the feature I enjoy the most on my new phone.

iPhone 11 Pro Max for me.

Not in a huge hurry to upgrade unless I have a very good reason or there's some feature on the iPhone 13 or higher that I absolutely have to have.

Think they will skip lucky number 13?

Call it the Dan Marino.

How long did it take him to break it?

Yea, I'm perfectly happy with my Galaxy A70 from late 2019.

But I'm an old man who still uses a laptop for most of my computing needs. I really only use the phone for texts/calls, maps and streaming music/podcasts.

Also, I have my service through Metro...It's one of those flat $50/month type services. I do the same thing with it as I do with my video streaming services which is pay in advance. Right now I don't have to worry about a phone bill until June.
