but you couldn't carry that in your pocket, which seems to be the objective here.
True as that may be...for $2,450, one could buy a Galaxy S25 *AND* an S10+ Tablet *AND* a Michael Kors bag to put them in.
Or, with a few compromises...one could buy a Galaxy S25FE, a Galaxy Tab S10FE, a Samsung Galaxy Book 5 2-in-1, *and* a leather Samsonite briefcase to carry it all.
Props to Samsung for figuring out a way to enable those with a pile of money to visibly demonstrate their affluence, but that price tag is so eye-wateringly high that there's no amount of functionality that can justify just buying a phone and a tablet.

You sound like a seriously disabled person, envying your hyper-productive betters. Perhaps liberal pedophilic billionaires fed off family trust-funds, but the wealthy in my extended family bootstrapped from poverty. So either you are mentally/physically too weak to produce anything of value, or you are a professional poor-person/parasite sucking the financial blood from any metabolism close-by. In either case I certainly hope our gene-pool avoids your contribution , noting that in a civilized culture you would already live in a barb-wired, stone-breaking gulag.

Indeed, Trump is a "Kennedy" Democrat. Post-mod DemoRat leadership has moved so far Dadaist-left that thoughtful pork-chop (de)mocrats have jumped ship. Now, call us MAGA for upholding a Western/nationalist cultural meme ( Kennedy/Buchanan/Perot/Moynahan/Trump/Manchan ...) . If the Bush family neo-cons succeed in retaking Republican leadership we will drop them like a rabid pig.

This is the beta build.
Exactly. Problems like this should be discovered long before a Beta release. This isn't some kind of esoteric corner case.
So it IS the QA/QC testing.
Translation: Microsoft has outsourced its QA to volunteers.

Critical thinking and left-wing politics do not mix. The core fundamentals of left wing politics are envy, government-owned monopolies and a blind historically unjustified faith in authority; Trotsky Lenin and Stalin knew this and acted accordingly. It's endemic among primitive tribes and "effete" parasitic non-producers. The self-organizing natural order with some people at the top, some people in the middle and some people in the bottom is a feature of (re)publican market cultures. This ansatz has long-lasting benefits both in physical wealth and social structures such as trade, technology and marriage .
