“They will have the ability to manufacture chips within 5 years.”

The US has lots of those minerals. We simply stopped mining and refining them because China was doing it so much cheaper. Would take a few years but we could rebuild domestic production if we had to.

“While the trade war is bullshit”

“Well aware, thanks. But they aren’t THAT far off the mark either.”

Not to mention that all that new infrastructure is going to cost money to maintain, and the Chinese don’t exactly build for long term quality.

LOL, that’s your reply? Something that has nothing to do with anything that was said? Look, I was already convinced you were a dimwit, no need to keep trying.

Just keep doubling down on stupid; it’s funny to watch.

So funny to watch idiots have a brain meltdown when they’re called out on their blatant bullshit. Amazing how when you were typing up that “argument”, you couldn’t see how it made no sense at all.

If you’ve changed your opinion of them based on this, you fell for it. This wave of corporate virtue-signaling and political activism is nothing more than marketing. Why be manipulated by and reward this sort of thing? Because for the moment, it panders to your sensibilities? You don’t think they’ll flip the other way…

Some of it was, yes. Some people got hacked through social engineering, namely getting mobile phone companies to give the criminal a replacement SIM card. SMS based two-factor was always a stupid idea yet all these big companies implemented it.

The 6k screen might be, not sure. If it is, it won’t be for long and honestly, that res at that size is pretty pointless.

Apple should make servers again... for a few years... then stop again. That was fun.

But it doesn’t grate cheese. That’s worth at least the extra $3k

I still don’t see what your argument is. Are you saying Apple hasn’t had any quality control or design issues?

“Granted if you built a Windows machine that costs the same as a Mac the PC will win almost hands down.”

Well first off, all the components here of relevance aren’t made by Apple and can be bought for a PC, aside from the custom GPU setup which, good luck upgrading later. If they do offer upgrades it’ll be funny how much of a premium you pay for it.

6K res at 32"? LOL, why? Pros want screens with a usable native res. Doesn’t matter if OSX is better at scaling than Windows, it’s still scaling and at native, you’re going to need a magnifying glass to make out anything.

Another day, another unlettered hot take on technology by someone who doesn’t have a clue about it.

I’m sure iCloud seemed like a great idea to all those celebs who had their accounts hacked and nudes put online too. While Apple might be better than Google/Amazon/Facebook/Microsoft, it’s not much better.

The problem with trusting Apple with your data is that you still don’t know exactly what they do with it and while they’re touting themselves as being pro-privacy for a marketing edge over competitors, Apple has a habit of hopping on trends once they’ve seen proof that it’s gone mainstream enough to be an easy bet.
