There is, it's called "Chinese OEM manufacturers".
(Yes, I know that an 'OEM manufacturer' is like an 'ATM machine'.)
- TeMPOraL 10y agoNo. Chinese manufacturers are building whatever you pay them for. It's literally a human-powered API converting designs to hardware. It's the western companies that don't want to build nice things.
- this-dang-guy 10y agoManufacturer: (n) Like an API, but it has even less idea what you're talking about and costs a whole lot more to use
- Fnoord 10y ago> There is, it's called "Chinese OEM manufacturers". > (Yes, I know that an 'OEM manufacturer' is like an 'ATM machine'.) OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer".
- mplewis 10y agoYeah, he mentioned that in his post, in the part you quoted.
- Fnoord 10y agoYou're missing my point. "OEM manufacturer" would mean "original equipment manufacturer manufacturer".
- 33W 10y agoYou're missing the point as well. ATM Machine would mean Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
- billforsternz 10y agoNot "as well" because only Fnoord was missing the point.
- Fnoord 10y agoGee, I really screwed up there with reading and comprehending. I don't know what I was thinking. You're right, of course.
