    Because years of horrible consumer practices that should be punished (planned obsolence, warrenty voided if you look at it wrong, etc etc) means that, for me, it is extremely frustrating to see an awful company like this putting out a phone for this much, and tricking consumers into thinking they're getting $2000+ worth of goods when they aren't.

    I'm not going to buy it, but I can still be upset and appaled to see this be brought onto the market and it just be okay.

    Also I specifically emboldens STARTS FROM

    This fucking thing STARTS at TWO. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.

    I can buy a laptop that's more akin to a murder weapon than anything else for that price, AND THATS THE BASE FUCKING MODEL.

    So uh, yes, you are correct. I was pointing out that it was FUCKING ABSURD.

    It's already an entire department at my agency, and I'm in it - clients come to us with vibecoded projects and are like 'ok now I need to scale it and make it sustainable to be used by my entire company instead of just my team'. These are 250k€+ projects that are starting to come in more and more regularly. My data governance specialism is more than useful still!

    This is great LOL

    I feel like an em-dash is not the 'proof' of AI written wording, but it does always trigger a 'hmmm' within me and I'll double check the text to see if I find the other signs as well, but I agree that it's just laziness to assume a single AI-colloquium = MUST BE AI.
