This is really boring pedantry, that does not further the conversation. Do you have anything to reply to from the rest of my comment?

- kortilla 5y agoIt’s not pedantry. Those companies have effectively nothing in common when it comes to HW.
- fragmede 5y agoIt's pedantry. FAAG is not an acronym in common usage (and is uncomfortably close to being a slur), so the more easily understood, less correct word was used instead. To point out that one of the companies doesn't produce consumer hardware doesn't invalidate the underlying point, so what is it, if not pedantry?
- kortilla 5y agoI’m pointing out that it’s stupid to use an acronym that includes mega companies that don’t have access to cutting edge Shenzhen manufacturing and excludes ones that have far more access. Facebook doesn’t have better Shenzhen access than Microsoft or you know, hardware focused companies like nvidia. Using “FAANG” is a red flag that the commenter has no idea wtf they are talking about when it comes to the hardware industry.
