Buying new hardware engineers in Taiwan, after laying off hardware engineers in the US a couple weeks ago.

Sounds like offshoring to me.

EDIT: This is not recent news. Nevermind. Move along.

This is an article from 2018.
Not sure why OP posted this

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It happened 6 years ago day-to-day, just guessed it could remind some people about their HTC memories

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

That's fair. I do miss the good ol' HTC days.
I'm on the Google Nexus/Pixel train now though

Thanks for updating the title so people don't misinterpret it as happening recently

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

No worries, I should have done it when I posted, but I thought the 6 years ago was a part of the title.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Ah, fuck. I got caught in the trap

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

What a pointless article

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

htc one was my first ever android phone back in 2011?? i miss it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

A few of my friends had HTC in 2008, those were cool devices

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The HTC One M8 is still one of the most fun phones I've ever used. I wish IR blasters would come back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That metal body was so nice. Plus you could unlock just about every part of an HTC.

I miss HTC and the XDA forums for those devices...

I had the evo 3d which had a 3d camera and screen that needs no glasses. It was actually effective and had a whopping 5 hours battery life haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

5 hours in 2012? That was pretty damn good! Haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I had the HTC One X which was literally hot. I couldn't use it for a few minutes without it burning my hands.

Not cool.
