I probably could with a goat, but I wouldnt talk about it publicly and it would take a lot of bourbon.

Those are the places where I’d be most likely to want one.

I hope all these big companies pump billions into this tech and lose it all.

Stop trying to make “fetch” happen. It’s not going to happen.

I have no idea what “fetch” is supposed to mean but I don’t like it. It’s not putting any pussy on the chain wax.

I still haven’t seen a legitimate use case for a flip phone that is 100% screen on the inside.

Takes up less pocket space and the primary screen is more protected.

I had a Galaxy Flip because I liked the compact size when it was closed, fit really nice in my jeans. Totally useless otherwise though and after the included screen protector cracked, replaced and cracked again I gave it up.

You’re talking about the non-book style ones like the Motorola ones? Yea I have no fuckin clue either lmao, they’re cool and maybe has some “reliving the old days” going for it, but beyond that they seem pointless.

Book style ones like the Pixel Fold OTOH are amazing!

Thinking of that one guy that lost their foldable to a grain of salt after eating something in the train while watching a movie on it and then closing the phone… I hope they never get a real thing

That’s unfortunate, I hope the tech progresses to a stage where a salt grain doesn’t render it useless.
