Tobacco industry boss: smoking two packs a day is not addiction.

Newer software aimed at newer Windows versions usually had a code that checked the user's Windows version. If the version began with a 9, it was interpreted as one of the Windows 9x operating systems, for which the software was unsupported. If that was the case, the user couldn't run the software at all. Microsoft wanted to prevent such situation from happening with a new Windows release, so they skipped straight to 10.

This conclusion comes from a three-continent investigation—current and former employees across R&D, Business, and Marketing at headquarters in China and regional offices in the US, India, and Europe. It’s confirmed by four independent analyst firms whose market data verifies what OnePlus won’t say. And it’s informed by 15 years covering OnePlus and the smartphone industry’s business dynamics—watching Samsung and Apple rise while Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, and LG followed this exact pattern into irrelevance.

The evidence is damning. Shipments in freefall. A premium stronghold that collapsed almost overnight. Headquarters shuttered without announcement. Partnerships ended. Western teams gutted to skeleton crews. Product cancellations—the Open 2 foldable and 15s compact flagship have both been scrapped; neither will launch as planned. And every major decision now flows from China—regional offices don’t strategize anymore, they take orders.

There is some innocence and optimism regarding the Internet.

EDIT: And the most important of them all: sincerity. Not everything was wrapped in over 9000 layers of irony.

From a Finnish perspective, the 2010s were a rather peaceful time, world events didn't really affect my day-to-day life. But from 2020 onward every year has felt like survival.
