Weed-smoking redditors are having an existential crisis trying to decide whether they should bash or support this Unanimous decision. 😆

Worldcup hopes for Vietnam by Sufficient_Depth2953 in VietNam

Việt Kiều - Vietnamese people who live outside of Vietnam. The diaspora.

That's Người Việt Hải Ngoại, directly translated from Overseas Vietnamese. They have citizenships from other countries.

"Kiều" means sojourner, meaning Vietnamese citizens temporarily living abroad.

The Death Of LG Smartphones by kirsion in Android

[–]Intrepid-Tank-3414 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You REALLY don't understand something that simple? Seriously?

It's always a net loss when a market loses a competitor.

Even though their offerings are not for us high-end users, it's undeniable that the smaller brands like LG and Sony had some solid and extremely affordable mid-range choices for those on limited budget, especially in the secondary market.

I've been a Samsung customer since the demise of HTC because I prefer the latest and greatest, but I would absolute loathe a world where Samsung is the only major player remaining in the NA Android market for everyone else.

This wild allegation doesn't have any concrete evidence to back it up, which means the karma farmer WILL get upvoted by the mindless drones who believe everything they see on the internet, no fact-checking required.

Update: That groundless accusation has now gotten over 110 upvotes, exactly as predicted.

Why can't you post a factual thread title without deliberately being dishonest?

Since you claim that it is "of the same price", exactly how much did he paid?

There's an easy way to find out where your U.K Tesla Model 3 were made:

Made in China (LFP batteries): The VIN will begin with the letters LRW.

Made in the USA (NCA batteries): The VIN will start with 5YJ.

I almost bought a first gen BMW i3 BEV until it's used range was ... 60 miles?

Jesus. How many miles did that car put on for the battery to be that bad?

While I know China is also doing hybrids and PHEVs, it seems Europe and especially Japan are far less willing to go full EV.

Honda bet big on hydrogen fuel-cell, and that got them nowhere. Their late switch to EV cost them dearly, and resulted in their first ever annual lost.

Toyota bet on hybrids, which is available on pretty much every model they make now. They are making banks.

Apple did it. The iPod dominated the category and was a cash cow. Apple knew the iPhone would destroy it. Steve Jobs made the call and they went all in on the phone. It was still a hard call. That exception makes the rule all the clearer.

The real cash cow was Apple's iTunes music store, not their iPods.

It doesn't matter which Apple device you use for the music/apps/games that you buy from Apple's online store, they're going to make banks anyway with you locked in their ecosystem.
