A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I agree that a standard flip phone is dumb. That being said, the galaxy fold and google fold make sense in certain use cases, because having a tablet for some productivity tasks is worthwhile.

The problem is the hinge & screen. I don't think the technology is there for long term durability.
