    I wonder if they know that “pause indefinitely” has a word they can use. That word is “Stop”. Qualcomm has stopped supporting the device. They have stopped producing it. Not “paused indefinitely”.

      That’s not the same thing though. “Paused indefinitely” means they intend to pick it back up at an undisclosed time in the future.

      Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

      It’s word gymnastics.
