I'm not sure why everyone is so up in arms here. Just means you can't buy one in a store. I've bought a lot of 1+ for myself and family, and not once for a physical or online Australian store. Just for overseas sites. That doesn't change. The 1+ store in AU was only offering models a couple years old, never the latest. So this news changes nothing for me. Still great bang for buck and easily mod-able.
My family and I have been on OnePlus since the beginning, and I just recently got the 15R (which is a beautiful phone, and awesome bang for buck). I've been recycling all my old OnePlus by putting linageOS or AxionOS, and they feel like new again. The alternative Android firmware space is thriving. I just got Android 16 on a Nord N30 5G "Avicii" - it's blazingly fast. Funnily enough, N30 which is close to 6 years old has 12GB of RAM, which is the same as the latest 15R. I'm still a OnePlus flagship killer fanboy

WOW! That was a very heavy read, not what I expected from HN, but I am grateful to have read it.
As a parent of a child with autism, who also rides the bus to school, and with many other parallels to the author's story, it was a difficult read.
We're 8 years away from the "last day on the bus"; it certainly made me ponder about the situation.
I think a lot about my son's future and all the missed opportunities, but the author put some of this in a different perspective that has changed my perspective slightly. But I do think my son knows what he's missing out on when observing others his age and watching TV.
Great to see yet another project to provide "offline"-ish comms.
The existing solutions are obviously not good enough yet, hence why all these projects are popping up. I hope we get to a good-enough one soon.
LoRa is great, but the bandwidth is terrible, so you'd be limited to Twitter sized messages when using this comms channel.
I only remember conio at the time, but without internet you just used what Microsoft gave you. The BBSes I used may have had it, but it's hard to use something if you don't know it exists.
I was having roughly the same thought.
I thought to myself, this is something my son would produce, and I'd be super proud, and see through the 90's/Yahoo-ish style.
