But i dont have £1700 to hand to buy it outright and buying on finance direct from samsung cost more than half what i pay on my contract per month. The contract is with o2 and they offer a separate airtime and phone plan. They are independant of one another. It would have cost more to buy separate with the airtime plan i have and the discounts i applied and extras i got for free with this particular contract.

I guess you have to try one. I got a samsung fold 3, i loved it. Then, when my contract ended, i got a fold 6. I would have a hard time going back to a standard phone tbh.

My wife said she wouldnt get a folding phone but when i got my fold 6 i offered her my fold 3. She ended up really liking it and wants to get a newer fold when her contract ends.

So theres me, who knew i wanted one and am happy with it to the point where i cant go back. And my wife, who didnt want one but after trying one for a few weeks, said she got it now and would be upgrading to a newer fold when the time comes.

They need to get these in peoples hands if they want to sell them better.

This was back in 2011

Oh yeah! That too! Flick the bean!

Remember when they proved that bing was just providing google search results?

Like it straight up sent your search query to google search and fed back the results in the bing skin.

Edit: i am uncertain that this is true, after a search i found this article from 2011

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12343597#%3A~%3Atext="We+noticed+that+URLs+from%2Cor+the+Bing+Search+toolbar.

This is what i was referring to. I explicitly remember reading this story, either on bbc or somewhere else, back then but i didnt look into it any further at the time.

I have had a quick look around (im in work) and there is a possibility that it was never proven. But i dont have a reliable source to show that at the moment. If anyone wants to fact check, be my guest. But please dont, as another poser did downvote my comment and post images of a google and bing search you did just now as evidence that my claim is false without looking into the validity of my claim.

The link above is from 2011, as i said, and shows what i was claiming.

Taking away the instructions on how to service and repair a car was a result of capitalists wanting to make more money by forcing you to get your car repaired by them.

Adding instructions not to drink battery acid is likely for companies to avoid getting sued because people will always argue that there was no warning about drinking battery acid so the company owes you compensation.

This is a false comparison.

Go and get checked for sleep apnea.

This was happening to me alot. Waking up multiple times a night, desperate for water, like, pints of it, then do a big wee and back to bed.

I started getting issue with staying alert and awake in the day, i was dozing off in work meetings (not fully, but like when your head dips and just jolt awake again)

If you dont have it, then great, mark that off the list.

If you do have it, get it dealt with because it’s bad for your heart as your body uses adrenaline to wake you when you stop breathing and leaving it untreated shaves years off your life.

If you let it go too far you can be suspended from driving and all sorts until you get it under control.

In the uk “bean” is slang for 'head"

Meaning you are calling me stupid…

Which i suppose isn’t really an insult, as its true.

I am reminded of an argument i had years ago about people relying on google to do their jobs.

I argued that using google to give you the answer to a problem doesn’t help you in the long run. Instead of understanding the solution and being able to use that understanding to solve problems in the future, you just become dependent on google to get you through the day.

It is much more important to learn why a solution fixes a problem and the steps you take to understand the elements of the solution. It opens more doors, and you learn how to use your brain.

Both thinking and googling will get people far, but if google ever went away, only the thinkers would survive.

This is happening again but this time its AI.

The funny thing is, the people who made google search, and the people who created AI, are likely the thinkers.

But the graphic is stating from 1971 so 18 years before the 1988 house. In 1971 the average house price in the uk was about 5k.

You are the one conflating here.

Qm i in the wrong thread? I thought this was about smoking, not veganism.

In 1988 my family home in the UK was 33k. We sold in 2011 for 185k. My house in 2014 cost 118k and is now worth 195k.

So, it’s not that stupid.

It was always high-quality content. I thought he was done for, but it’s good to hear he is still making content. I’m not sure why my other comment got downvoted. What did i say wrong? It was only a statement and a question. Looking it up, it was true. It wasn’t assault bur was sexual misconduct, and he admitted it and went to therapy and AA following it.

“Suspended” and “terminated” is a funny way of saying sentenced for murder.

I almost forgot about him. Didn’t he get caught up in some sexual assault accusations or something like that, and then he stopped making content?

Someone needs to do an impression of what this chimaera would sound like.

Take a photo of yourself in the mirror. Where is your god now?
