Ban? Twitter? No. I don’t think that is the way to go. But we can try negotiate a deal. No one post in this thread, except chen.

But we need a mutual agreement from all members + all future members as well.

And if any wish to join in and turn this solo into a choral arrangement...
Please raise your voices...
don't be shy...

I don't mind...
Just please give me a 24 hour heads up ...
on implementation of said proposed ban on me...


I may lark about now and again...
But I do alot more around here than some who's crowning achievement is to threaten banning...
Not to name names...

I do think I have a right to voice an opinion...
If it be topically or technologically relevant...
And I most certainly do see a great deal of opinion here at TMO all the time...in just about every thread...
And it isn't always topical or on tangent either.

As much as some may desire or actively get a persons posts deleted, a reprimand or a banning ...
Say for example ..
the case of Dave and his opinions on the Jolla fiasco he went through...
and people piping up and mods involved and such...
I should have piped up then...
and that is a shame on me...for not sticking up for him when he had and has ..every right to voice his complaint, concern and issue....
repeatedly if necessary...

Well I am definitely going to do so now.
Dave has most definitely been given the ugly end of the pointy stick.

If Dave's repeated mention of the crap he went through gets censored or deleted or he gets reprimanded for it ...
and he hasn't been (in my view) excessive in his statement...
then I will speak up...in support...every time.

People may wish such statements as his experience with Jolla or other devices ...silenced...

But that is hardly fair and unbiased ...
His stated experiences are as much a warning as anything else...
and should be classed as such..

Of course not everyone went through what he or others may have ...
But it does not invalidate what he went through or others went through.
Censoring or deleting or banning is not the answer..

(I do believe in finding solutions to problems not just voicing problems...and not offering solutions..)

At worst ...

Either moderators should simply condense his valid issues into a single post to save thread space...

Or....
A suggestion would be..

we have plenty of threads about how great such and such a device or platform is...
and we have plenty of threads about how "whatever" has this issue or that issue...

But we don't really have any dedicated threads concerning our overall concerns or issues or terrible experiences on specific devices / platforms / etc..or how terrible the after purchase service is
to have such posts moved to...

Some may think it is counterproductive to the delicate state or health of "..." device / platform / etc..

I do not share that view...
that turns this place into a place of "selective" knowledge ..that is detrimental to us all.

Keep up that kind of widespread behaviour here...
and believe me...
you won't have to ban me
I will walk away from this place.

Please :rolleyes:

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
I guess no deal then

Q4 is very very very imment. I wonder how that will affect the thread. Didn’t chen, hypothetically said that a possible potential something would surface around Q4.

pls go to twitter or something like this you two!

Endsorneans on twitter? Hmmm... Limit of 280 characters....
That's an interesting idea... Hahahahahaha!

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
My shame is seeing it and saying nothing at the time.
But that is a far cry from seeing it ..
Indolence and scoffing at "selective censorship" is an excellent method of allowance, of validation, of something which should never occur.

I am sure some will be relieved that this will be the longest post seen from now on and the last pertaining to thread off topic.

I think its cool! Making musical instruments must be challenging.
@endsormeans would you please provide a link. Also I think going off topic is fine, especially if a discussion has run its course.

Four pages? You mean 94 pages? Right.

Make it 104. I found actually 0 post in this thread.

Ban everyone!

Cheer up folks. The heavy hitters are just looming around here to just just BOOM suprise everyone with a relevant post :D

I think we might get something useful in this thread around 2019 if the project is still going strong by then.

IGG will close down questionable projects. Read here for just how questionable the project needs to be for IGG to take action: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/1...d_pervscanner/ :eek:

Frustrated as we all were with the Youyota tablet, I don't think that it is in quite the same league as this!

A device that can show a hazy silhouette at low resolution to check for concealed objects versus a promise to deliver something without any intention to deliver it? You are right, those two are not in the same league.

To me there is nothing more questionable than than someone doing a runner with the cash and giving no updates for months , plenty of people have reported it and the comments section is full of angry people yet the project is still open for anybody to throw their money away.

Michael is a ****
IGG are probably bigger ****s

Trick or threat :D

Not sure how that would have helped.

You guys totally destroyed my above top secret agenda. I was planning to trick Chen to come here and explain that image and reveal the release plan/date.

Now it won’t happen :(

Dave999 2018-10-23 15:50

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
I would also reveal that the device will handle sailfish and that you can use your refund money to buy that license.

I think we need some info soon regarding the plan and capabilities of Q-device.

Hope to see some real evidence of this alien device soon. :cool:

Possably. We will see what his next trick will be.

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
I wonder if they can use some of those new slider mechanisms from xiaomi, lenovo, honor........ I mean, suddenly there's a plenty of sliders on the market. Not for the reason that I care for but mass production of those things means that there is a chance to get some of those components for some smaller player maybe.

Which products? (excuse my laziness!)

Chen has also added an image where you can see the slider mechanism now!

kinggo 2018-11-01 16:46

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
oppo find x, honor magic 2, lenovo z5 pro, xiaomi mi mix 3, doogee mix 4........ and probably some more in the great land of china

Dave999 2018-11-01 17:22

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
:cool:

Image looks great. But anyone can do some images.

Hope to see something videosish at some point in time.

Lauta
E7
N900

Which one holds the best slider

I don't think it is rocket engineering to design a slider like that.
Chen's task is for sure more complicated. The slider have to go a longer way, have to be more robust, is landscape...

By the way, building a slider phone just to achieve a bezelless design is idiotic. Just my 2 cents.

kinggo 2018-11-01 19:01

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
my point was/is that now there's at least some kind of sliding mechanism available while Chan had to do everything for his project. I know it's not the same thing and I agree that it's ridiculous just to have a stupid selfie camera.

Wow, that's a lot of connectors in the second picture. Probably the highest concentration of connectors in a single device I have ever seen.

Dave999 2018-11-02 19:39

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
Chen. May I suggest to usie a countdown or a reverse countdown.

Starting december 1st and reveal a tiny bit of information. 2nd a bit more. 3rd even more. 4th an image revealing part of the device. 5th more info. 6 more. 7th more and more. 8 image. 9th more image. 10th some info. 11th moooore info and so forth ...and then...31st reveal the complete device.

These image you are posting are completely random and make no sence.

deutch1976 2018-11-02 20:23

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
If there are no images, everyone complaints. Now we have images, complaints continue. The project is running and will be ready when Chen feels 100% satisfied with the product. Is it so hard to wait and wish Chen all good?
