Can someone explain to me how Apple managed to come from nowhere with a chip(M Series) that's competitive with the best chips from two companies(AMD and Intel) that have operated for decades exclusively in this field? Shouldn't AM

I'm not optimistic honestly. We have politicians throughout the world whose political platform revolves around denying that the global warming(climate change) even exists. With this level of irrationality it's hard to see the worl
