Lenovo still sells over double the amount of laptops. 48.5 million to 23.5 million for Apple.

That's what it's about though. The amount THEY can give, not the benefit to humanity. It's not like Bill and Jeff actually built any of these products themselves. Microsoft bought DOS. Right place, right time for that Nepo ba

Nah, this is a Yankee/American issue. Citizens of the US claiming a noun that belongs to the continent.

About as quickly as the Canadian Oil patch would be flooded with money. All that would do is push oil investments out of the country, and your surplus would become a deficit in the drop of a hat.

Why would any producer in the US sell it locally if they could get more by shipping it?

Are you for real? That was 81 years ago, which is actually less than some US states average lifespan. There are roughly 12 million Americans over the age of 80.

You can ask the same question of the US. They're the only ones to have actually used them (and they try to justify it still). For all those who are about to reply saying it was justified because it saved American lives, why didn't

They were slowing down to the point of unusable. I had a Galaxy S3 from 2012 to 2024, then got a hand me down Galaxy S9 for free. I don't like that I can't remove the battery, but it's got a SD card so I don't have to wo

My wife has gone through a large number of iPhones in the past 14 years, where as I've had a total of 2 android phones. Way easier to repair, and add software well past the end of life date.

Trump supports Russia, and their policies (war in Iran, opening up oil purchases again) support it even more.

They were competing with the biggest advertiser in the world who put an ad about their own browser on the front page of the biggest search engine in the world. Not sure it was entirely their own doing.

They're buying the books from resellers, not rescuing these books from dumpsters. Stop being an apologist.

Wasn't accusing them of dumping. I was saying that it wasn't capitalism that fixed this issue.

How about before it was partitioned into colonies of various European powers? Population of China 60 years ago was half what it is now (700 Million). Anyway, the answer is both. They were being exploited 60+ years ago, and they're sti

Solar panels were made in China. The reason that solar panels are so cheap there is that the state has bankrolled these companies to produce them at a massive scale.

We have a test team that runs various test suites(automated) and manual testers that test functionality. They spend their entire working day, every day testing.

by soperj 2mo ago
why wouldn't you use those limited resources to test things before they go to production, instead of creating more crappy things that go to production?
27.
by soperj 2mo ago
This has less to do with bad engineers than bad policies and procedures. You don't performance test before shipping to prod? you get what you get.

Before MAGA I'd heard of granola moms, the same people who think that amber helps their kid with teething, were very against vaccinating their kids as well. So it's a wide swath of people who are just oblivious to the benefits of
