[06:31:14] <halibut> <ted-ious> Some privacy researchers investigated their corporate paperwork and found the financial connection to microsoft.
[06:31:17] <halibut> ^^^ There are multiple links on the page that say something like that. For example, from their Privacy Policy ( https://duckduckgo.com ):
[06:31:20] <halibut> > Ad clicks are managed by Microsoft's ad network and Microsoft has committed to not associate your ad-click behavior with a user profile and to not store or share that information other than for accounting purposes.
[06:31:24] <halibut> So, I think they are being up-front about that, at least they are now ... but I cannot shake the feeling that I am purchasing some lunar beachfront property ...

[10:35:10] <ted-ious> halibut: What did that page look like before people started investigating them?
[10:35:24] <ted-ious> https://en.wikipedia.org

[14:29:41] <progo> https://arstechnica.com who is this for?! AFAICT the business plan is to sell to people who must have the shiny new thing because it's DIFFERENT than everything else, and they have too much money in their hands
[14:29:42] <systemd> ^ 03The first foldable PC era is unfolding
[14:31:11] <progo> TLDR: they kinda look like a Surface Pro with an oversized portrait-orientation display that folds in the middle. $3700
[14:31:47] <progo> a Surface Pro with an external portable display would last longer and cost less

[15:01:26] <ted-ious> What happens when you put it in your bag and your bag gets squashed?
[15:01:38] <ted-ious> Does it get folded to hard and crack?
[16:58:38] <progo> ted-ious AFAIK the display bends along one line, inside a hard clamshell chassis
[16:59:18] <progo> all I need to know about bendy screens is this:
[16:59:18] <progo> Ars Technica published a blog post saying "my review unit bendy display phone broke after 4 days. full review coming soon."
[17:00:12] <progo> 1) they are a huge financial risk for the consumer or the vendor, and a potential major time sink with you talking to customer support. 2) Ars Technica chose to do a full review ANYWAY because they're paid to care
[18:25:48] <Ingar> I'd buy a 32" roll-up monitor

[20:53:37] <chromas> rolly screens were supposed to be coming Any Day Now a few years ago
[21:03:42] <chromas> all the photos show the foldy laptop being used in portrait mode. Shirley someone would turn it if they're using it on a desk with a physical keyboard
