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.
That’s not the same thing though. “Paused indefinitely” means they intend to pick it back up at an undisclosed time in the future.
yeah and my ex-boyfriend “intends” to pay me back the $3500 I loaned him to fix his car.
Right.
Whether or not they’re being sincere has nothing to do with the meaning of the phrase.
