  • This article seems to only talk about the ones that fold like a book, and not on the ones that fold like a clam. I don’t get the fixtation on that design - at this point it’s more of a tablet than a phone, and for a tablet it’s pretty small. When opened, the Samsung Z Flip has the dimensions of a smartphone - which means you can put it to your ear or operate it with one hand. You can’t do that with the Z Fold - it’s too wide. Also, the Samsung Z Flip costs half as much as the Z Fold - which is still not cheap, but it’s not that much more expensive than Samsung’s regular flagship phone with the same specs. So I assume affordable flip smartphones should be possible - maybe not this year, but probably soon enough.

    Z Flips sell twice as much as Z Folds - all while Samsung is spending most of the marketing effort on pushing the Fold. Maybe if they focused on the Flip instead they could have made this one “a thing”?

    I imagine the USDA as a tired underpaid fast-food employee that has to deal with moronic entitled customers.

    - “I want an organic strawberry!”
    - “I already explained to you that strawberries cannot be grown without non-organic pesticide.”
    - “Are you telling me no?!”
    - “I’m telling you that what you want is agriculturally impossible.”
    - “Do you have any idea who I am!?”
    - “Ugh… you know what? Okay.”
    * Takes a perfectly regular “non-organically” grown strawberry.
    * Slaps an “organic” label on it.
    - “Here you go. One organic strawberry. Thank you for shopping with USDA!”
    - “Was that so hard?”
