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Bootloader can't be unlocked so you're stuck with a useless outdated os that can't run most apps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

GSMArena states that the Huawei MatePad 12 X was released on September 19th 2024.

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

[–] Rekall_Incorporated@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't understand why Americans (and notebookcheck) still use MM-DD-YYYY.

[–] C126@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't understand why anyone uses anything but yyyy.mm.dd

[–] Rekall_Incorporated@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Exec@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Okay, maybe that was a typo, but I've read cooking instructions based on a "cup" of chicken strips.

[–] C126@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Americans announcing phone thickness in ml sounds about right

[–] golli@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] C126@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] golli@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

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.

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

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

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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 will never in a million years buy anything Huawei.

Yeah, racism tends to do that.
