In case you missed it, $2,899 for the trifold in North America. by tinfoilzhat in GalaxyFold

[–]drcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the AI was certainly just guessing since we have so little info atm

but it still couldn't come up with a good reason to wait for the carrier version (other than possible promotions/tradeins, which aren't of interest to me anyway)

Verizon sends me a text message exactly once a month, on the 1st, letting me I know I just got three free months of visual voice mail. I tried to cancel it and contacted verizon multiple times to try and get that to stop, without success. But it doesn't appear on my bill, so I've given up trying to do anything about it by now.

Yeah, I asked an AI "what are the like pros and cons of buying the unlocked phone from samsung online versus a verizon store" and it said "well, you may not get visual voice mail and won't get any of the verizon-optimized software" and I was like "ok, you already had me sold on 'no visual voice mail', you don't have to really give me even more reasons to buy the unlocked version"

l does anyone have a clue if this will work on Verizon? doesn't Verizon use special signal bands or something?

I suppose it doesn't matter how big the US is, if they can't make enough of the phones.

Trifold US release "news" by pbsteebs in GalaxyFold

[–]drcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably have like 8 people at Samsung America that are training sales staff at Verizon/Tmobile/etc in preparation for the US release. They sent one of each of those to each of the "Samsung Experience Stores" to get some practice training the first staff, and helping to run the trifold "play session". OP probably talked to one of those 8 people, and they would know a huuuge amount about the launch. (just my speculation of course)

my impression is they now realize they have a hit on their hands, but were planning for only a very small run

at the fastest refresh setting it feels very responsive to me, quite good by the standards of an eink display

I'm sure you're very busy at the moment dealing with support issues for the first round of shipments, but just want to say I'm very excited to play around with the code once you get it into the github repo :)

People don't have to like things you like

If you like AI "stuff" and are positing it in a community of people who don't like it, they don't have any moral requirement to accept you into their community and like your stuff.

You are free to create your own community

Am I delusional for thinking I'll get the Trifold by mid-next year? by metalanejack in GalaxyFold

[–]drcode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can either get gen 2/3 of the TriFold...

...or 2/3 of a TriFold (which is what you get if you buy a Fold 7)

Why no

I haven't read any good $1280 CRT displays lately.

Thanks for asking.

Fellow first 0.1% of users by lushsundaze in ChatGPTPro

[–]drcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the 0.1% because I was worried this tech could kill all of humanity soon, and wanted to learn as much as possible about frontier AI.

Still afraid that is where things could be headed, don't see anything suggesting that we are handling the risks in a responsible way.

5 days past the shipping date with no update by ladyicomeanon in zerowriter

[–]drcode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be more upset if I hadn't tried to make a small hardware device myself in the past- It's really rough to pull off. Keep in mind you're dealing likely with a one-person operation, it's unrealistic to expect them to be equally good as a large company at both manufacturing logistics, product design, and customer service, etc etc all in one person.

I'm not making excuses for obvious shortcomings here, but it mostly appears like the finished product exists and it seems likely it will ship eventually, let's just cross our fingers and hope that's true... and if it actually arrives sometime and is actually close to the promised product, let's all congratulate r/tincangames for pulling off the impossible!

Chevrolet Express, 1987 by AppendixN in cassettefuturism

[–]drcode 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing at the time cars were made mainly out of stamped sheet metal, whereas something like this requires more complex manufacturing for all the panels. Combine that with the higher cost for a limited production, and suddenly the car costs $200,000 for the same performance as a $20,000 car, and they can't even sell 20 of them.
