I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I’m curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits that the OS can’t resolve) and/or just a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses).

If the hardware security isn’t the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.

With a sign like that, they definitely need a cashier that knows their math.

Curious that they’re calling it “RedNote” instead of “Little Red Book.”

Packaging is fine, but it’s multiple layers sometimes. I feel it’s more for presentation than function.

With respect to Japan, there’s definitely a culture difference, but I don’t think it’s the consumerism/waste culture. There’s so much excess packaging in Japanese food products.

Gotta go fast
