The biggest bug that bugs me is the popup not going away on its own after taking a screenshot. I'm pretty sure that's going to be taken care of in the next firmware update.

Yes, V1.6.0 takes care of that.

This is a perfect example how too much "listening to customers" can easily backfire.

The feature has been introduced with the last official firmware (I think) and it had annoyed everyone in the beta team. Both the fact that the box pops up and won't go away by itself and also the prediction of the file name for the next screenshot, which is just annoying nonsense, because even an idiot can predict it themselves and doesn't need the help of the DSO for this, all the more so as the prediction can be plain wrong, e.g. when the user pulls the Flash Drive, in which case the next screenshot would go to the internal memory.

Yet this had been a customer request.

We had to make clear that even customers are just humans that make nonsensical requests at times.

So the final solution can already be seen in the SDS2000X HD:

And it already exists in SDS1000X HD and SDS6000A.

Screenshot message management must be consistent across the product range.

Imagine the amazing scope you'll get for that price in 23 years though! It will probably just be a chip for your brain, and no comment on where the probes plug in. 😇😉

This discussion ist so tiring, every so many years over and over again. In the 1990ies plenty of people warned against buying a new PC, better wait a year, and get more for the money. Don't remember the fad in the 2000s, but in the 2010s it was about smartphones, where prices would drop in a couple months 'cos the next model would come out. Now with scopes.
:=\

When will people manage to wrap their brain around the simple fact that in rapidly evolving technology there is no such thing as "the right time to buy", at least from the bang-for-the-buck perspective?

That's simply not true. There is a right time to buy if you're looking for better pricing. Certain times of year give better discounts. Whether you pay $1000 or $1400 for the SDS2104XP depends on whether or not they're running a sale.

With phones specifically, you're especially wrong. What phone manufacturers do from one year to the next is usually stupid BS like mostly the same phone with a slightly faster processor. Not exciting. They also hide downgrades without mentioning them.

My phone is a OnePlus 9 Pro. I bought it when the 10 Pro was fairly new and going on sale with better pricing. The 9 Pro is a better phone with more antennas for better versatility with different providers. The 10 Pro reduced the amount of antennas and added a faster chip. There's a number of reasons I won't bore you with why the previous gen was better. I got my phone for a much better price with double the memory. I could have got another for half what I paid when they finally clearanced them out a few months later.

The point being if you know what you're looking at, and familiar with the actual specs of the devices you're comparing, you can make smarter choices.
