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".

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.

There’s a word for that too. “Start”. It’s what w you can do after you stop.

Well, there's also "Restart," which shows that it was started at some point, but then stopped.
