Oh I didn’t mean that your phone was a Samsung. Was just referencing the fact that people’s brand recognition was forever altered by an issue that objectively was not a major issue in the grand scheme. Companies don’t want to risk that type of thing again.
Mine’s been working great for nearly 2 years now. 👍
Most Galaxy Note 7 devices were not affected by the manufacturing flaw. Most manufacturers don’t want to take that risk without larger sample sizes and edge case testing.
It just needs to be the way Android works from that point forward, not something optional. If they want to have an Android phone, with the play store, and everything that comes with the ecosystem, that’s what they have to do. Manufacturers never want to change what they do.
Android needs to modularize itself more and separate the core OS from manufacturer changes, carrier changes, etc.
At this point you might as well just assume the CEO of any large company is a piece of shit until proven otherwise.
Sometimes those are the chains directly… More often they’re just ghost kitchens. Someone else owns the brand, and has an already established kitchen make the food for delivery apps, and they take a cut from the sale.
Many ghost kitchens aren’t even normal restaurants you would drive to, they’re just commercial kitchens in generic business space that make food for a dozen or so ghost kitchen brands.
There are two tracks of thought here.
The US Tariffs are raising the cost too high. So US inventory is not being restocked.
The DRAM constraints are raising the cost to manufacture too high. That affects both the RAM and SSD in the system. This would affect all manufacturing of the Steam Deck.
As for it only being the US, they’re not going to be shifting international inventory after already situating it in more local distribution centers and dealing with customs. So the question comes down to, are the international stores/distribution centers still being restocked, or is everything on hold and the US just happens to be the first to sell out?
