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.
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
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!

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
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.
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
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.
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 😴
i prefer this to apple’s method of naming everything the same. someone telling me they have an i-whatever gives no indication to what it is. could be a 15 year old shitty product or a brand new, overpriced shitty product.
One of my favourite naming schemes is MikroTik’s.
CRS312-4C+8XG-RMlooks like a mess initially, but it’s very logical. The features of the product are literally in its name:CRSCloud Router Switch (product name)3rd generation12ports total4C+= 4x combo (RJ45 and SFP+) 10Gbps ports8XG= 8x 10Gbps RJ45 ports (XG = multi gigabit)RM= rack mountable
This is how many companies generate a p/n, unless marketing gets involved.
Just doesn’t sound as sexy as NetFuckerPro Phantom Xtreme. With four ports and speeds up to 100Mbps!
I understand you might’ve meant it as a joke, but if the universe allows it and there is a netfuckerpro, I will buy it twenty times before I even read the specs of the crs5b278n492653b
And that’s why companies spend money on marketing lol
Yep, I’ve even personally witnessed the arguments in business to business sales. When the marketing gets invited, sanity is no longer a welcome.
I disagree with everyone else here. This is even worse that sequential naming schemes.
Best is a name that actually contains information to distinguish different products. Look at fridge, washing machine, … names from Samsung, Bosch, … You think the exactly same unit with some minute (hard to even find!) difference has almost the same name? No, fuck right off, there is no correlation. Have fun searching any specific product.
4K Monitor should have 4K in it’s name. 32" diagonal? 32 in the name. Not “KKEORGKE9183FK38F”.
We literally bought a fridge three days ago and it drove me bloody mad.
The numbers mean absolutely nothing!!!
And why is the Siemens version cheaper than the Bosch version of the same fridge, and why aren’t they named something even remotely similar???
Why is this identical fridge $400 more??? (Ended up contacting Bosch to figure it out. It was a damn soft close function. For $400…)Ended up going to the store and picking one based on physical testing because God forbid any retailer add anything more than a short text on each product.
Hope this one lasts us 50 years so I never have to buy another fridge again!
See you again in 3 to 5 years
I’ve got three monitors at work: Two Dell monitors arranged horizontally, and a Samsung that’s vertical.
The Dells are U3219Q.
Ufor UltraSharp (product name),32for 32 inch, and a little bit extra to differentiate it from other UltraSharp 32 inch models. Nice. (edit: apparently19means the model year, i.e. 2019 for this one)The Samsung is a LF32TU874VNXGO. Just… what? Samsung why do you do this to us?
“Take two bottles into the shower? Not me. I just LF32TU874VNXGO.”
… on second thought this is rubbish even if you do remember those TV ads.
… on third thought, there’s something darkly funny about taking electronics into the shower.
Get that lithium battery nice and soggy.
Just bought a really good monitor… I can’t remember the name.
That’s the most Linux thing I heard all week and I use a tiling window manager on arch.
The new, spectacular, octacular package full of amazement put in front of your eyes, the <Jacob, please find a while to find a name for this>!
