Waiting for "The Chinese Media", aka bot farms, to downplay the following as well, "clearly driven by the political correctness of Sinophobia";

H.R.6210 - Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6210

It is amazing US Congress can pass an act without listing any verifiable evidence. This is democracy!

      

Not even pretending that distraction isn't the objective.  Wear your bias and subversion with pride comrade!

This Act has the same spirit of Chinese Exclusion Act that US Congress passed in 1870. That Act is also passed without listing any verifiable evidence. US is representing the bad part of democracy, phony democracy that a law can be passed by a majority vote without evidence. 

Wow-that’s quite a claim, since the Chinese Exclusion Act is perhaps the high water mark for anti Chinese (and Japanese, and Thai, and Vietnamese, etc since they were often lumped under the same rubric). Do you have any direct evidence from the bill itself that would demonstrate the same or similar levels of blatant racism?  I’ve looked but apparently I’m not seeing what you are seeing.

I saw PBS documentary of Chinese Exclusion Act. The Workers Party accused Chinese immigrants of stealing their jobs. Congress passed the Act by saying allowing Chinese immigrants would let Eastern culture to destroy Western culture. How do you prove this cultural argument? But this is the reason being used in Congress. 

Ok, ok, you saw a documentary on the CEA but have you actually red it yourself?  How about read any of the period propaganda pieces by local wealthy (Caucasian) men who had a vested interest in ruling up racial animosity in order to force the divestiture of property owned by SEAsian immigrants in California, Washington and portions of Oregon?  

Corporations should not have the rights of a living breathing citizen of the United States.  This is the primary failing of citizens United.  Corporation should not have the same rights of political speech as a living, breathing, voting citizen.  No super citizens please.

"A Mac with Apple Silicon inside isn't just noticeably faster than their Intel counterparts; it's capable of a few other exclusive features too. Here is what an Apple Silicon-based Mac can do that the Intel Macs can't."

"but as Apple can control every facet of these chips, there is currently a subset of Mac features exclusive only to Apple's chipsets."

Let's not kid ourselves. All features listed (even running iOS/iPadOS apps) are well within the realms of the computing power available on Intel-based Macs. Hell, Dragon NaturallySpeaking did on-device dictation what, over 20 years ago? Surely not as well as Siri today, but then again, you can't compare a few-hundred-MHz Pentium Pro or Pentium II to current chips (and even older ones).

It's not a technical issue, but merely a marketing strategy of differentiation to move new product. And Apple is (or at least should be, you never know with governments these days) well within their rights to do so. But don't pretend there's some magical Apple Silicon fairy dust that enables this. It's just good old marketing.

Did they say it was a technical issue or apple silicon "fairy dust"? Nope.  I don't even know why I read comments anymore...it's exhausting.

Ignore is a very good friend of mine.  You should get to know Ignore,  Ignore make the comments much nicer.

Why are workers in retail treated so bad by management?  Two words: cost containment.  The worker is the one area where management on a local level can be shown to “save money” and so they treat their employees not as team members or allies, but as adversaries keeping the manager from getting a bonus.  Until this perverse power structure is reversed, employees retail employees will continue to be shat upon.

Back on topic—I AM shocked that the FTC chose to block the sale—they almost never do this to an American company.  Perhaps it’s due to having a Dem in office, although more likely it’s just a symptom of the growing mistrust of BIG TECH.
