I'll wait and see. I like Win10 much more than I thought I would. I rode Win7 into the sunset, only abandoning the ship about a week before they dropped security updates for it because I thought I'd dislike Win10 so much. I even ran Ubuntu as my desktop OS for about four months before switching back over to Microsoft and Win10.
I'll wait and see this time.
They cite their own internal poll[1] claiming that "with Oxygen OS 11, the most recent version of the skin, OnePlus has faced a ton of controversy". Look at the linked poll. It's a completely even split. The poll article goes on to quote mostly negative comments from the poll despite there being an even split on the actual choices presented.
Also from the poll article:
> A surprising number of respondents (25.3%) said they need to try the update before deciding how they feel about the direction of Oxygen OS.
Yet we're declaring an OS dead because some blog posted a poll in October 2020 that resulted in approximately ~6300 people (38.34% of the 16660 respondents) saying "nah, I prefer the stock approach"?
Just going to ignore those other 10,360 people I suppose. That article won't get you to the top of /r/gadgets or HN I suppose.

Let's say the CPU is the actual issue, but the problem manifests itself in the memory module. You swap over to the backup memory module, and suddenly the problem vanishes!
Two months later, the problem manifests again. Identical presentation. This time, there is no backup to switch over to test.
You fly a Very Expensive Mission to the telescope only to find out the CPU was the issue, and if you had figured that out originally you wouldn't be up here with four memory modules.
At the time, he may have had issue with walking into a "branch" of Simple. While BBVA was the parent bank for Simple, their branches had zero insight into Simple bank accounts. When the transition happened, BBVA branches were getting hit hard by Simple customers expecting sudden service. However as far as the BBVA branches were concerned officially those customers weren't theirs -- no BBVA account number, just Simple, which they never had insight to when it did exist.

I'm confused on this. When you closed your Simple/BBVA account, did you not have any other checking account to transfer your funds into? Both of these suggestions will drain your account, but neither is the immediately obvious method of simply transferring your money to another checking or savings account.
I closed my account prior to the full BBVA transition, moving to Chime (heartily recommend in concert with YNAB for you folks that miss Simple's savings tools) and had no problem connecting my Chime account and transferring the funds via usual ACH transfer.
Simple was a real bank, backed by BBVA (and before that, Bancorp -- truly Simple's heyday in my opinion) and thus subject to typical banking rules. You could initiate ACH transfers with your Simple account like you could at your local credit union or bank.
We get it, you're upset. "Tone of voice" on this chips away at reader sympathy.
Did you just stop reading the post at the line you quoted, and came straight here to moan? They refund it. It's how they verify your identity and banking information.
Agree with the other comment, not what I thought the device was going to be initially. Not everything needs a buzzword marketing name so it doesn't need to be like Doctr or something like that, but maybe Medic-in-a-Box or something that conveys this is a medical device.
Guess I don't get to see Instagram pages anymore. Sad thing is many small businesses use Instagram for their "website", there's a few around me that I haven't checked out because I can't see their "website" on Instagram.
> I wonder if it's affecting influencers' business.
HN is a self-selecting bunch. The vast, vast majority of people that care about influencers are logged in all the time anyway.
I’m sure he’s quaking in his boots, former Slashdotter.
