This is dumb and stupid

purrtastic , (edited ) to technology in Musician charged with fraud for inflating streams with AI and bots

The charges this guy is facing are insane.

Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.

I pick the category 'Things no one Asked For", for $25 Mr. Trebek.

Grimy ,

Someone said the same about touchscreen when you were still a kid. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it.

JadenSmith ,

I was an adult when touch screens properly took off, and I doubt this is in the same league.

There was some practical purpose to touch screens, whereas this thing is just unnecessary. I doubt it would have the same effect.

Grimy , (edited )

Having a phone that can turn into an iPad is probably going to get some use.

There is practical purpose to a touchscreen, the fact that short sighted people couldn’t see its usefulness is my actual point.

JadenSmith ,

I’m just saying I don’t think the market is going to be big enough for these models to even get close to emptying shelves. Maybe it’s not the right time, I don’t know, I’m just finding it difficult to see any use where people would find it more appealing than the form factors and devices they already have.

Shit will get REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!

rednalsi ,

i can only get so fucking soaking wet… literally can not wait.

Going to 4 is just playing it safe, you gotta go to 5!

protist , to technology in Musician charged with fraud for inflating streams with AI and bots

*Charged for falsifying his identity and billing info

Posting AI-generated songs is perfectly legal, and there are other people who have made 6 figures doing this without committing fraud

Ilovethebomb ,

Yup, the key difference is their listeners are actually human.

The charges have nothing to do with the content he uploaded. Are people so ready to give their opinion on AI that they assume AI must be the reason he’s getting charged?

Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.

antmzo220 , (edited )

Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.

trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective

  1. triple; threefold
  2. having three parts a trifold screen
interdimensionalmeme ,

And two fold is how many screens ?

Skoobie ,
@Skoobie@sh.itjust.works avatar

2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.

Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.

interdimensionalmeme ,

How can something fold into one part then ?

gedaliyah ,
@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?

Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)

Trifold wallet tho

2001aCentenaryofFederation ,

The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.

SynopsisTantilize , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

I wish this was closer to cheap than bat shit expensive.

Also, the only reason I’d want this is for native x64 emulation (which isn’t out of infancy) I had a laptop, my cellphone and my work laptop sprawled out today and this all could easily be 1 phone and 2 vms…

The CEO was just conspicuously spotted with one of these a couple weeks ago, looks like it was a marketing scheme as we suspected.

rednalsi , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

yay, it solves every non-existent problems!

noredcandy , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.
