    The matte screen is enticing especially with stylus support but it’s too big for what I’d use a tablet for. The pixel tablet I already have is too big, honestly.

    I could use a 12” tablet, but only if I can install alternative ROMs on it.

    This review is almost one year old. (my mistake in understanding the date, I saw a German flag and assumed German date format which is DD.mm.yyyy)

    Also, wonderful hardware but android 12 in 2024 for 700 euro?

    Moreover, can run only a generic browser and some showelvare. Most apps in the Huawei appgallery are broken and aren’t getting updates from 3-4 years. (I know because I have a Huawei p30)

    Bootloader can’t be unlocked so you’re stuck with a useless outdated os that can’t run most apps

    Maybe I’d get one for €100 as a smart home display or for light internet browsing…

        Oops, misread the date, I read Published 11/01/2024 and in my locale it means January 😅

              yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.

                I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this

                Administration date 2024-10-25

                First time I’ve seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.

                The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.

                  Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous

              I’d agree that yyy.mm.dd is probably the best for sorting reasons, but imo dd.mm.yyyy also has at least some logic in an everyday setting. Usually the order of relevance for everyday appointments is the day, then month, then year. Oftentimes the year has no informational value at all, since it is implied, e.g. for an upcoming birthday.

                If you have an appointment you’ll need to know the month, so putting month first makes more sense.

                  Of course you also need to know the month, but similar to the year i would argue that there are plenty of times where the month is evident from context. So the informational value is lower than the day.

                  I don’t want to argue that this is an absolute thing, but i’d say that quantitatively there are more times where you only need the day compared to very few times where you only need the month for example.

    Universal stylus, matte screens, e-ink displays. I want more stuff factoring these things more seriously into their designs.
