Yeah, but read it again. This isn't Singapore. It's Singpore. They so broke they can't afford the A, LOL.

Must be a knock off. Singapore's all about getting those A's.

Singapore has the ultimate Asian parent stories.

Pre-1960 they had to sing to stop being poor.

Can someone explain, why are those countries more effected by this than others?

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 week ago

They will be the first test-tube countries before this rolls out globally in 2027.

Will poor countries ever learn?

[-] h_ramus@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago

Ah yes, Singapore famously cheap and poor at over $100k GDP per capita.

[-] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah Singapore was the first British colony where average income exceeded Great Britain.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

It’s more so the manufacturers than poor hard working citizens of the global south.

[-] Shameless@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

What was their alternative? Android phones are cheap and accessible (at least they were)

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Well except for Singapore.

[-] rem26_art@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

is this different from the needing to wait 24 hours to install unverified apps thing? Cuz that already rolled out to my old ass Galaxy Note 9 this past week and I'm not in (nor is the phone from) any of those countries
