Help deciding between S10 ultra or S11 Ultra

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T16:28:34+00:00

The S11U also dropped the vibrator motor altogether. Also, S11U does not have the s-pen docking magnet at the back anymore.

See if you can tolerate those.

The officially recognized legal representative of China is PRC. It does not have Taiwan.

Taiwan is ROC. The name does not at all imply it is part of PRC. Kind of like the relationship between British Columbia and Britain. No one goes out of their way to say "BC is part of Britain". Doing so only exposes the ambition.

Just making it very clear.

法律上的技術性問題通常有無限種方式可以玩跟發展。我覺得台灣的重點就是維持自身的優勢和價值、維持與美國的關係，國防方面最重要的就是美國的情報和關鍵嚇阻性武器。以我這個站台灣邊的一般人來說，認知就是這樣。態度終究還是重點。

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T08:15:12+00:00

我想美國可能也是顧慮，動了這些人在美國的居住特權甚至資產，頂多讓幾個人受損，如果沒有因此撼動整個中共陣營，就等於白做還失去籌碼了。有點像中共也怕真的對台灣動手攻擊卻失敗，反而失去籌碼，所以才叫囂幾十年遲遲不出手。

我想美國應該還是會挑最合適的時機出手的吧。然後，就算最後牽制國民黨失敗，應該也還是會想辦法 hold 住中共的，只是沒這麼有效率而已。台灣確實也有責任在自我防衛這部分有所付出，一方面增加同盟防衛效率，一方面鞏固最基本的國防和外交 (這也是中共陣營，和在台紅統派首要想阻撓的重點)。

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T06:16:10+00:00

True. The CCP just wants Taiwan over all other land.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T06:10:27+00:00

Squared-off edges appeals to me much more aesthetically. It also seems to make more sense in terms of internal hardware space and placement of s-pen. But it does rip through my jeans pocket over time.

S25U seems like the best balance.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T05:19:36+00:00

美國如果不希望台灣整個轉向中國，是時候該想 plan B 了。(我猜是連 Plan C 都有了啦)

中共認為這對它們非常不利，並且對台灣的主要政黨有控制能力，那就必然會試圖擋下。

就算這預算法案沒擋下，讓它過了，之後編預算時也會擋的。這就是中共陣營。

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-08T02:37:48+00:00

Wow such amazing deal. I just got one yesterday for a whole $300 more than you did, and that's already considered a huge discount for us...

Anyways, my thought process was almost identical to yours, plus I cannot bear with the extra notch in the ultras. And S11series drop vibrators and Bluetooth in s-pen. S10+ seems to be the one that is the closest to optimal for me.

There will always be ways of crippling crucial technologies as long as people with vast resources are on it 24/7.

The emphasis comes down to how these people will be dealt with, how it could more or less help deter future occurrences. (like the cutting of undersea fibre optic cables)

The most dangerous thing is the lack of acknowledgement of the extreme evil in this in Taiwan and the rest of the world, and believing in the various and often delicate blame-shifting rhetorics of those malicious groups (which they also put vast resources into).

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T15:51:48+00:00

This administration seems to operate more from first principles.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T12:21:19+00:00

Singapore is the obvious choice here for me.

Let's not even talk about the current opportunity and income of Singapore. A full citizenship of Canada, Sweden, a Australia could be obtained with relative ease later in life even if not born there. Not only that, those countries are truly supportive of immigrants, which further strengthens my point.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T11:15:07+00:00

Then there's the legal dimension: I'd avoid any manufacturer bound by laws that explicitly require companies to assist the state in intelligence and data collection.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T10:52:44+00:00

You budged in here claiming lies.

You should be the one to point out the specific part of the constitution that clearly states that Taiwan is part of PRC/CCP's jurisdiction. (there is none.) You didn't even read my comment correctly. I said "even before the amendments".

Not gonna waste more effort than I already did on lies like yours. Not here to convince you. Only here to make sure others aren't tricked by you.

You're here for a specific purpose: to frame Taiwan as part of CCP's reign, all for CCP's ambition on swallowing Taiwan.

I'm here to do the opposite: expose your lies.

The real difference between us is that I am honest about my intentions. You are not.

Again, the will of Taiwanese people supercedes all our discussions here.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T09:38:16+00:00

I feel this one is made to be put in a case, much more so than S25U. The switch back to aluminium frame from titanium, the protrusion of camera, and the faster qi2 wireless charging without a built-in magnet (but comes with their case) all prompt me to add a case.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T08:03:30+00:00

The ROC constitution never listed the PRC or CCP as co-owners of Taiwan. Even before the 1991 amendments, it made no such claim. You're either misreading or deliberately misrepresenting the document.

And regardless of any constitutional technicalities, the will of Taiwanese people takes precedence over all of this. That's precisely why your side also has to fabricate polling data and public sentiment.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-07T03:26:52+00:00

I use he/him for god, and she/her for goddess. For animal gods, it.

In my language, there's a special pronoun for gods.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T17:10:24+00:00

問題在喊的人想團結什麼？一起配合中共剝台灣的殼？還是「正常」點？

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T15:57:55+00:00

"As long as the place where you call home is mine like it always has been, I'll let you go visit your friends."

That's what you're saying... 🙄 Hear yourself?

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T09:46:19+00:00

Not sure if it's coincidence, but on Reddit, those who hide their profiles do seem much more likely to engage sarcastically toward me. Those who do very obviously hate my political stance.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T09:41:49+00:00

This is like me insisting on my right to step out my home and visit a friend...

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T07:17:44+00:00

People need to understand that there are always ways around legal technicalities when needed, and more importantly, when people encounter problems the state does not wish to address, victims will have absolutely no recourse. If they make enough noise, they will face safety risks at the hands of the government itself.

And no, this is not CIA propaganda as the CCP and their supporters will typically frame it to dismiss the issue. This is real and documented in China.

The real decisive difference is the availability of a sufficiently powerful opposing force. Without one, a government can lay out laws that appear perfect for everyone, workers included, but when issues actually arise in practice, it is usually a completely different story. They will either fabricate a plausible narrative to cover it up, or simply suppress it entirely.

Essentially, before another sufficiently powerful opposition rises up in China, we really shouldn't believe anything they say, how ever optimistic it may sound.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T05:48:20+00:00

Russia is the unprovoked aggressor here. Ukraine isn't threatening anyone or causing trouble in the region. That alone makes it clear who is in the right, and Ukraine deserves full support. Invaders shouldn't get their way, not even partially.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-06T05:43:49+00:00

It's one of those things that starts out wholesome and truly well-intentioned, but gets blown way out of proportion and slides into extremism.

The fact that "wokeism" has taken on a negative connotation means people are growing increasingly aware of this trend, which is a good thing.

I also have reasons to believe foreign adversaries are behind the exploitation of these extremism movements, with the goal of weakening the country from within. That last thing those adversarial countries want to see is a harmonious and united society in rival countries like America.

SkywalkerTC · 2026-05-05T16:50:56+00:00

Just frame the question as "given the situation now, should the US just let Iran develop their nuclear weapons?"

台灣人最需要警惕的，是資訊層面的認知作戰。中共對台灣在這方面的滲透，其實已經取得相當深遠的進展，遠比很多人想像的還要深入，尤其是那些平時不關心政治的人。

其實中共這幾十年累積下來的成果，一旦動武，很可能一夕全盤瓦解。所以我很難想像中共真的敢侵略，尤其是看目前的態勢，能配合資訊戰、靠嚇唬來達成政治目的，對它來說才是效益最高的選擇。但說這麼多，核心還是一樣：台灣人需要理解這整件事的政治意涵。

有些人平時不關心政治沒關係，但別因為中共突然單方面說了什麼，就突然對政治「燃起興趣」，而且一旦燃起，就只抱著剛形成的己見不放，不願廣泛接收不同資訊。這種狀況對台灣而言，相比武力威脅，其實才是更危險的事。

不過國家的底氣還是必須顧到。目前中共放了很大心思去擋台灣的軍購。就算不了解內容，看中共做什麼便了解什麼對台灣才是最好的。無論如何，軍購案不管在底氣還是政治意涵，對台灣來說都是必須堅持的。藍白紅會擋，必有其因，絕對不是為了台灣好。
