  • I’m no fan of foldable phones, but it’s impressive that Huawei remains strong in the smartphone market, despite the restrictions imposed on them.
    My wife still uses her 10 year old Huawei P7! And she dreads having to buy a new one, because of the enshittification of Android.
    She wants the Nokia G42 for repairability, but you can’t friggin remove the stupid google search on your home screen! What an idiotic design decision by Nokia!?!?
















  • No it’s stupid because stretching something generally means by using less like stretching resources by using less, or stretching a band by pulling it making it thinner.
    That’s why it’s stupid because it contains none of the original meaning.
    I can figure out in sports it probably comes from stretching out (muscles), like giving it a bit of extra effort. But the headline doesn’t work in that context either.

    So in short, it’s a stupid use that is erroneously used out of the original context and meaning where it had a common denominator that made sense.
    There is no stretching going on in Harris increasing her lead.
