The Huawei MatePad 12 X features a large 12-inch screen including stylus support and Near Link. This review from Notebookcheck will unveil whether the mid-range tablet is worth purchasing.
This review is almost one year old. (my mistake in understanding the date, I saw a German flag and assumed German date format which is DD.mm.yyyy)
Also, wonderful hardware but android 12 in 2024 for 700 euro?
Moreover, can run only a generic browser and some showelvare. Most apps in the Huawei appgallery are broken and aren’t getting updates from 3-4 years. (I know because I have a Huawei p30)
Bootloader can’t be unlocked so you’re stuck with a useless outdated os that can’t run most apps
Maybe I’d get one for €100 as a smart home display or for light internet browsing…
I’d agree that yyy.mm.dd is probably the best for sorting reasons, but imo dd.mm.yyyy also has at least some logic in an everyday setting. Usually the order of relevance for everyday appointments is the day, then month, then year. Oftentimes the year has no informational value at all, since it is implied, e.g. for an upcoming birthday.
Of course you also need to know the month, but similar to the year i would argue that there are plenty of times where the month is evident from context. So the informational value is lower than the day.
I don’t want to argue that this is an absolute thing, but i’d say that quantitatively there are more times where you only need the day compared to very few times where you only need the month for example.

Oops, misread the date, I read Published 11/01/2024 and in my locale it means January 😅
Yeah, I don’t understand why Americans (and notebookcheck) still use MM-DD-YYYY.
I don’t understand why anyone uses anything but yyyy.mm.dd

If you have an appointment you’ll need to know the month, so putting month first makes more sense.

yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.
I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this
First time I’ve seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.
The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.
Phone thickness in millilitres? I knew they have a hard time mixing metric with imperial but this is kind of ridiculous
Okay, maybe that was a typo, but I’ve read cooking instructions based on a “cup” of chicken strips.
Americans announcing phone thickness in ml sounds about right
