Not that I care but clearly a lot of people appreciate the increased performance and resolution that other handhelds offer. And the vast majority of games don’t need touchpads.

This has nothing to do with the gaming industry, specifically. This is a basic (very effective) marketing strategy. But typically federal regulations prohibit them from advertising something as “on sale” perpetually so it has to be advertised at retail price for x% of the time.
Except the tech companies are among the politicians’ biggest “donors”.
They say that it feels like a 125" screen but its actually like having a smartphone held against your face. Also the edges are all fuzzy, if they’re even visible.
Sorry, text is too small to read.
Because forums sucked? Still do.
Ive been swindled by these XR glasses before. Never again…
Is that Your Opinion?
I mean, yeah, they could sell them for $1, and take 90% of the marketshare…
They have no power here.

This means that the phone number requirement has already created a leak of private information
What information? The gov already had the phone number. They needed it to make the request.
Additionally, that was posted in 2021.
Here’s a more recent one.. Matter of fact, here’s a full list of all of them. Notice the lack of any usernames provided.
Also note that a bunch of the numbers they requested weren’t even registered with Signal, so the gov didn’t even know if they were using the app and were just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
You are required to provide all information tied to the following usernames
They can’t respond to requests for usernames because they don’t know any of them. From Signal: “Once again, Signal doesn’t have access to your messages; your calls; your chat list; your files and attachments; your stories; your groups; your contacts; your stickers; your profile name or avatar; your reactions; or even the animated GIFs you search for – and it’s impossible to turn over any data that we never had access to in the first place.”
What else ya got?
but that doesn’t help if they get proof in any other way.
If they’re getting evidence outside of Signal, that’s outside the scope of this discussion.
because of the phone number requirement, anything you ever send on Signal can easily be tied back to you should it get out
…no. It can’t.
that subpoena alone is proof that it does.
It’s proof that it doesn’t.
If your strategy is just to blatantly lie about what was said, despite the fact that it’s there for everyone to see, then I see no reason to continue this bad faith discussion. Bye.
This may be of some use to you.
Can you elaborate on what you’re asking me to elaborate on, because I honestly don’t know beyond what I’ve already told you.
United States of America? Canada? North Korea? China? Australia? Saudi Arabia? South Africa? Brazil?
Yes. Any of these could potentially be “the country they’re requesting it from”.
The point is the app was designed for secure communication, specifically from corrupt governments
If you think that’s true, you are sorely mistaken. It may be how it is advertised, but it is not how it was designed. If it were designed that way, as many many different chat apps are, they would have no information to give up to a subpoena. AKA the “zero knowledge” encryption that was mentioned previously.
it is problematic to allow access to user data as long as the individual is breaking a law in that country.
I agree. For the third time, this is not my opinion, this is just how the world works.
Or to use my answer from the top:
The…law?
It’s bad for privacy no matter how you sell it.
I mean it’s not ideal but as long as it’s not tied to literally any other information, the way Signal does it, it’s “fine”, and certainly not “bad” and especially not “pure bullshit”.
So if a government agency comes along saying “Hey, we know this account sent this message and you have to give us everything you have about this account,”
They have done this several times, they give them nothing because they have nothing.
I’ll refer you to my previous comment:
None of this is my opinion, it’s just how the world works
Notice at no time did I use the words “should” or “should not”. We’re just discussing facts here.
Have you considered not following me around and harassing me? Or maybe just not being wrong all the time?
Can you elaborate?
I just did.
Which Government?
I already answered this one as well.
I am pretty sure that every Government on the planet does not use a universal set of laws or procedures for enforcement.
No but they all certainly have some sort of system for requesting access to information.
You can put a new permanent low price. You just can’t market it as “on sale” or otherwise discounted.
