Yea, I think it started with trade barriers, but I think Apple likely wants to increase non-China manufacturing to reduce their risk a bit. Tensions with China have been a bit high and when you're Apple's size, it can be good to l

I'm surprised they're quoting you $60-80/mo. Verizon's 5G home internet is $50/mo (or $25/mo bundled with one of their premium wireless plans or $40/mo bundled with Visible's $35/mo Visible+ wire

That's rare. T-Mobile averages 53ms latency according to Ookla/Speedtest.net for multi-server latency. For wired connections, Xfinity averages 24ms, Cox 25ms, and Spectrum 31ms. So wireless does add an additional ~25ms of latency

My feeling on this would be: they're probably fine shipping the static media assets for my site like the logo, CSS, JS, banner image, etc. Those are trivially cached with long lifetimes. I'm guessing what they don't want is a

> They're not actually giving away service that others charge thousands of dollars a month for, for free Sure, I'm fine with that. The problem is that I don't know how much it'll cost if I fall out of their free tier.

There's probably a lot of reasons. The biggest thing is probably that data centers wouldn't want an M2, M2 Pro, M2 Max, or M2 Ultra. Apple would need a specialized chip. Right now, Apple Silicon tops out at 12 cores (8 performance

By that logic, I get new iPhones for free. Even if you include the value of the iPhone I trade in, it's still only $250-300. Yes, they're right that you don't need to spend more than $250 to get a really capable smartphone -

I'm guessing that the tips is more a bargaining tactic than a real ask. They're also asking for 45 paid days off for "bereavement leave" including for the death of a close friend or pet. 45 days of paid leave would be ov

First, I'd say that sometimes companies don't use the same tooling even if they could. One of the things that gave TSMC an advantage was that they did push EUV while Intel didn't. Intel did make some investments in EUV, but p

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next year or two. A lot depends on how well TSMC, Samsung, and Intel execute. Intel's roadmap has had Intel 4 happening in 2023, but it's possible that Meteor Lake will

It think I'd start by saying that TSMC hasn't historically been in the position it currently occupies and that while TSMC has a good lead, it's not like Samsung isn't close. A big part of TSMC's current status is pr

Measured US (wired) speeds are pretty close to advertised US speeds. In Europe, advertised speeds are often a maximum. It is always good to list typical speeds, but with most major ISPs it won't change anything. The big thing is forcin

Even if you only have one ISP, they often have multiple plans and it can be hard to compare them. Most cable companies won’t even tell you what their upload speeds are. It definitely still has value even if you only have one ISP.

For a company that's worth less than $17.5B, a $787.5M settlement means giving away 4.5% of your company's value. Unlike big tech companies or whatnot, Fox Corporation isn't that big. Even after its huge fall, Meta is still 3

This seems unlikely. Only 18% of our imports come from China. In fact, 14% of our imports come from Mexico and 14% from Canada. Given that China has 11.1x the population of Mexico and 39x the population of Canada, we don't actually get

As a counterpoint to this argument, the reason we have libel/slander laws is that people hear something and don't check if they're factual. If I say, "danmaz74 eats babies," some people are going to believe it and n

That's likely why the offer is so low. The $1B doesn't go toward covering any potential losses. The $1B would go to Credit Suisse shareholders and then UBS would own the company and be on the hook for the liabilities. To put it an
