Honestly it's better than just having a generic name which they apply over several generations, with the only difference being the year at the end (which they might forget to add on some listing's). So long as it has a simple way to find the size and resolution from the model id, the rest can be kinda funky as long as I can Google it.

I don’t actually know anything about the DSi! I’ve had almost every other type of DS, but never a DSi.
According to Wikipedia it seems to be an upgraded version of the DS with a better CPU, speakers and larger screens, but lacking the GBA-cartridge port
Unacceptable!
And has cameras.
It's basically somewhere exactly between the DS and the 3DS. It has games & apps you can get from the eshop (can't remember if that's what it was called), it has cameras, but the games will have about the same graphics fidelity as regular NDS games. It had few games exclusive to the DSi. Alternatively just think of it as an NDS with a home menu and eshop
Interesting! As a first-day adopter of the first DS and a huuuuuge proponent of Wood r4, that’s fascinating to me! I feel like that’s similar to the PSP Go.
I own a DSi XL myself, but I've never seen an original DS
I never preorder anything but when the original DS came out, I walked down to the mall before it opened to pick up my preorder.
Took it home and… found one dead pixel. Had my dad take me back to the store later and get a whole new one!

Gotta get that new new (3ds xl)
or AMD's ever changing naming schemes for GPUs
I mean, I'll take the stupid XTX crap over whatever the hell Nvidia is doing with Ti super bullshit
if you can actually find it on the monitor (face it, you threw the manuals away last year) – it’s embedded in the black plastic in 8 pt type or it’s only on internal components (void the warranty when you open the case) or it’s a quarter inch QR code in metallic foil your phone won’t focus on
Good news, at least for the US folks. A warranty can't be voided just by opening up an item. Does not matter what the manufacturer says.
Except apple juice cans.

Sorry I'm tired 😴
Or if it still works, you can use the DDC interface to get its model no.
DDC… Dead Dragon Carcass?
Yeah. The carcass of a dead ancient dragon can be used to interface with the infinite void, which will help determine the causality that generated the Model no. of the monitor.
I've got a bin where I put all my manuals. I've also started putting extra components that come with it but I didn't need at the time in there, sometimes even attached to their respective manuals so I can figure out wtf they are for when I come upon them at a later date.
It's been working pretty well for me so far. I don't need the manuals or extra components often, but it's so nice knowing exactly where to look when I do.
I’m the type of psychopath that reads manuals for fun so I have multiple boxes for things I’ve bought over the years. I have manuals for things I’ve thrown away.
On a lot yeah, but even then if it isn't used and/or doesn't make lot of logical sense, it's very, very annoying. A decent example of using both are Alienware ultrawide monitors, which in their name generally have the year, and a model number as well. However, if that model number and the year aren't listed (not that uncommon in my experience looking at used ones), it's hard to tell if you are getting the current model or last year's, as they often look soo similar.
they usually have it in the menu too
Huh? I've never seen a monitor that didn't have a sticker with the model and serial. Although they sometimes stick it behind the Vesa cover.
The problem I have with this naming scheme as a consumer is it is hard to find which models are roughly equivalent. Like theyll have their mumbojumbo generic name like ABC24P and this is what you find on reviews but then theres ABC24PE, ABC24PU, ABC24PI3Q and often finding info on if it is just some regional release, different panel or what is actually the difference is problematic.
