  • It appears that the flagship route didn’t work out for them (I rode my Nokia 8 for as long as I could, but the storage was giving me problems.)

    Much like when Motorola went into zombie brand mode (after being sold to Lenovo) they leaned hard on the midrange which appeared to do ok, as well as their feature phones.

    Google giving up on KaiOS was probably the other killer, money had to go into redeveloping their feature phone software.











  • There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as “news”, jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), “reporters” who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as “deals”.

    All that being said, it’s still leagues ahead of Gizmodo and I do think it’s worth reading.
