The "automatic" re-centre-ing isn't instant and momentum inevitably carries your crosshairs past the target. It's literally the reason no one is as accurate with a controller as most are with a mouse... That and the fac

Because when you stop moving a mouse, your crosshairs stops moving. But with a controller, you need to re-centre the joystick to get your crosshairs to stop moving. You need to actively do something to make it stay on target, versus a mou

Chomsky fits the original definition including his absurd defense of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Also the fact he equates democracies and dictatorships and denies the idea that people have a right to freedom or say, to not be victim

Google has cancelled a lot of things. And they do kind of suck at product strategy. The worst part is, they don't even realise when they have something great that's on the verge of gaining traction (Hangouts and Stadia IMO could

Instagram, like many social networks, is what you make of it and who your friends are. Pick friends and who you follow well and it's a great experience. Pictures and video are equally supported, discovery is good, search is the best o

5000 salespeople and moderators? Please... They don't need that. Besides, my comment was about Walmart, which has over 10,000 stores... So of course they have more employees than Twitter by a huge margin.

Why is Apple worth more than ARM and TSMC?
198.
by Mikeb85 4y ago
They obviously have expertise, the point is that the parent was implying that all the tech involved is exclusively TSMC's, which is also wrong. The parent literally said the US is trying to "steal" TSMC's technology...

by Mikeb85 4y ago
Does TSMC "own" the technology? Because their fabs are wholly dependent on ASML, a Dutch company. And they're using that to produce tech that's designed in the west as well.

And they chose to be reliant on a dictatorship... The reasons don't matter, the fact is Apple cooperates with whatever the CCP demands. What happens when China invades Taiwan? Will they aid our enemy?
