House passes bill saying ByteDance must sell or spin off TikTok or face a ban
I think you answered your own stupid question. Begs the question of what you're doing on an American website and an American forum.longfang said:
I asked why I should care. Makes no difference to me what happens to muricans.9secondkox2 said:
Basically it works like this: Civilian Americans care about Americans being spied on by adversarial nations - the same nations that force American companies to hand over all data traffic to said governments in order to enable censure and spying on not only its own citizens, but those they communicate with.longfang said:
And I should care why? Chinese, American, all of you are spying.9secondkox2 said:Tik tok is basically heavily invasive spyware on behalf of China.It literally crawls your entire device and sends the data back home.Yikes.Good that it is either banned or sold to someone who must comply with consumer protections.

Apple sat at a crossroads of indecision that led to Project Titan's slow death
Both Tesla and Rivian purchased factories previously established by automakers. I forget, which manufacturing plant did Apple buy in the intervening ten years they've been hacking away at a car?Xed said:
What expertise did any car company have before they existed? You mention Apple buying Rivian and Tesla so why doesn't their lack of expertise and experience before they made a single automobile carry over to your argument that if you hadn't done something before that you should never try to do it?rob53 said:Apple was correct in dumping Project Titan. They don't have any expertise in building any type of car. They would need land and millions of dollars worth of manufacturing equipment. If they wanted to buy Rivian for a fire sale price to get manufacturing facilities and some expertise, I might go for it but they'd need to do a lot of work on fixing Rivian's vehicles plus come up with a respectable sedan. There is room for an American EV manufacturer, Tesla can't build all the EVs without building several more manufacturing facilities.
Land and millions of dollars available, you say? How could they ever manage that. LOL

And old boss once told me, it's easier to take a large project and shrink it down than it is to take a small project and scale it up. Apple already made PDAs, and already knew how to miniaturize technology. Making a car requires thousands more parts than anything Apple currently makes. Your comparison is flawed, at best.StrangeDays said:
Tell me, how much cell phone experience did Apple have before entering that market? Any car Apple would build would be a computer on wheels, the same way phones today are computers that make calls now.rob53 said:Apple was correct in dumping Project Titan.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
