Tom’s hardware is declining in quality steadily. Suggesting VR and phones is a joke based on a 2mW budget. Yes you can do computation but not what a layman thinks it would do based on the examples they give.

Hahahaha sure

Did you say break the Kai?

Aah I see. So what’s for day 2, Queen? Emperor? God?

We’ve got a case in Australia of a coffee shop selling something to someone that was allergic. The guy died of allergies.

Hahaha I thought this was the onion and the button was the big fugly thing that covers the whole bottom

At least it wasn’t comic sans

And that’s the definition of capitalist vs working class. A top surgeon makes a lot of money yes, but they are still working class because their main income is from salary.

Earning a big salary or buying some stocks don’t make anyone a capitalist. Being the owner of Johnson and Johnson, hiring an administrator and not working a day in your life does. And that’s the kind of people who get richer with any crisis, holds the biggest part of Johnson and Johnson profits, and pays no tax at all.

People talk about Apple only but every competitive chip designer (which Intel is not) depends on TSMC, so they all get set back.

But TSMC gets to close, and what’s more dangerous for the political stability of Taiwan is that since they don’t have oil they lose West military protection.

Not all foundries are the same. Taiwan is leading the way for quite a long time.

There’s a lot of money in both intellectual property and physical manufacturing. Trying to do an analogy with software is unfair because in software most of the costs is labor, and once the first copy is made you can make and sell as many extra copies as you want. Physical manufacturing needs machine maintenance, and expensive materials in this case.

I can’t wear a suit if I’m not working. Sounds like claim time.

I also can’t use suit while working. Ok I’ll come clean, I don’t have any suits.

I don’t have superior knowledge, but it’s probably useful to recognize the way I see that company is very different than yours and other people.

I don’t think we can agree, and my goal is not to convince you, but remind that there’s people like me who think Microsoft represents so many bad things that I can write a book about it.

To illustrate, I’m sure 20 years from now recall will be as divisive as windows 7,10 or how they were completely opposed to open source and now act like that never happened.

Explain yourself? Do you pay my bills and I didn’t notice? Fuck off.

Just conversation starters :

Win95, 98 and 2000 are embarrassingly unstable, even if you think it’s a world wonder that got someone to be ultra rich.

Oh by the way all of this was based on DOS, which was not made but bought by Microsoft. Pretty sure it wasn’t from a savings account for flipping burgers.

Internet explorer had such bullying and monopolistic practices that it lost a lawsuit.

Microsoft willingly went out of their way to bully and kill other OS competitors that were getting a good foothold on getting adopted. Was that Novell? So long ago, and they got killed almost at the same time as they were invented.

Oh my, if you want to look back at those days with rose colored glasses be my guest. But to anyone that lived those days, your comment is a basket full of straw mans.

Well most people will choose a politician or actor instead of unknown Nobel prize winner. That’s how we got here.

Why mate he’s modern day Rambo

Throw it down and bring real democracy like in Switzerland

Or throw it down and bring anarchism

None of these are realistic, so…

I meant to post my reply here but it’s on top level instead https://lemmy.world/comment/13066234

While most of the world’s people continue to live in Asia, much of the increase in hunger since 2017 occurred in Africa and South America. The FAO’s 2017 report discussed three principal reasons for the recent increase in hunger: climate, conflict, and economic slowdowns.

In 2022, Asia was home to 55% (402 million) of the people in the world affected by hunger, while more than 38% (282 million) lived in Africa.

Sounds like a 3rd world ultra capitalist creepy story. I grew up in center right 3rd world (Brazil) and that would make it a truthful but funny snectode.

Now I’m in center center 1st world (Australia) and we’ve got passed a law a few months ago to not bother employee for bullshit.

I though why did we fn need a law for that, then your story reminds me.
