Cook praises 'symbiotic' 30-year relationship with China
Wow! All Russia's fault. US is the victim. Hate Russia, LOL.proline said:
Lol. Do you think Russia is less inclined to damage us after weJP234 said:Sounds like an ill-timed, but productive visit. Certain elements in the Legislature and right wing media are sure to make hay out of it. But if you ask me, good business ties with China are super important, even in the face of recent geopolitical events. China will to be less inclined to damage their best customer.
— gave them Ukraine’s nukes
— gave them the USSR spot on the security council
— shut down our own rocket engine manufacturing and made our rockets dependent on their engines
— made them key partners in the ISS
— let them genocide Chechnya
— let them conquer Georgia and Moldova and Crimea
— gave them Big Macs and iPhones
Of course not. Dictators can’t stop themselves from attacking us. We need to be ready. Apple is making us dependent rather than ready.

Tim Cook among few US CEOs attending China business summit
US strengths that got little mentioned is its ability to import extremely innovative people from the world which China and most other nations are not able to imitate. China tried to imitate but it has a flaw. It tried to import established people. US instead provides a breeding ground to anyone that is willing and rewards the success.larryjw said:The US is in bully mode. The US has significant strengths but both its educational systems and work ethic is far below China's. Its vast population is a big factor. But, it's also clear we are led both financially, in the C-suite and government by frankly the dumbest people any country can produce. China has learned from the US and other countries as sometimes some but all too few have in the US. Smart people learn from their betters.

An unprecedented look into TSMC gives insight into iPhone chip production
Liu does not know the real hero of TSMC achievement is the American company Applied Materials. AMAT makes very expensive chip equipment. The cost is not just the material used. It has 34,000 employees. TSMC engineers can use various capabilities of the equipment to fab the chips. Without these capabilities the engineers could not advance the chip from 7nm to 5nm to 4nm. -
Tesla Wireless Charging Platform review: A premium, Tesla-branded AirPower clone
I would not buy a Tesla EV without Apple CarPlay.9secondkox2 said:
And apple fans aren’t? LOLchasm said:While it is nice to see that the AirPower concept can work, I think this review reveals the real reasons Apple abandoned their project:1. Inefficiency — they realized there was a better way, and thus we got MagSafe
2. Safety concerns/inefficiency — I’m sure the Tesla version is currently safe, but I’ll bet it gets pretty warm when three devices are on it, and I have to wonder how well it will age over time. In addition, it’s simply not a very efficient charger for iPhones, and likely an inefficient Qi charger by any standards.
3. Expense — $300 can buy you a LOT of MagSafe chargers. IIRC, Apple would have sold the AirPower for about the same amount, meaning regular consumers would not really have bought them in sufficient quantities.Tesla fans, OTOH, are used to paying — and paying some more — for their stuff.
You get what you pay for. You want something nice? Buy Apple and Tesla.You can pay less, but then you get android and Chevy.
