Apple supplier Pegatron says tariffs will mean third world-style shortages for US
The truth hurts, I get it. But this is entirely the act of an imbecile. It will harm the country for years. Please read some legit economy books on world trade, the history of trade since WWII and why the US has had advantages all along. Endangering the dollar as the reserve currency alone could set this country back for 50 years. Meanwhile other countries will move forward.sdw2001 said:Oh, look, calling his tariffs “nonsensical” and using scare quotes. Shocker.

Uncertainty returns for Apple as Trump tariff pause halved for countries not making a deal...
exactly. they can't and whatever comes out of a rush like that will suck. Trump was NEVER a business man. He never built a company that made anything. He speculated on real estate, lied about values to borrow against. And sold his name to failed enterprises. That anyone thinks he's a real businessman - he's a cosplay businessman. In orange.SiTime said:How on earth can every country on earth possible manage to negotiate 194-ish separate deals with America in just 90-days? Even if every country wanted to make a deal immediately (right this very moment), does America have enough negotiators to manage 194-ish separate negotiations simultaneously?
More than 194-ish deals if the tariffed-penguins of the uninhabited islands near Antarctic also need to negotiate. Does America have any negotiators who speak Penguinese? Or did all the woke Penguinese speakers get DOGEed-out of the government because they were too DEI?
In an infinite multiverse of possible timelines, how did we manage the end up in the absolute stupidest one?

Five years of Apple Silicon: How Apple continues to revolutionize chips
I remember Jobs chiding Intel for power issues. They also completely missed the move to sensible mobile. If they had been looking to where the puck was going to be, they would have been the insides of the iPhone.neutrino23 said:I’m old so I started with small computers that probably had less power than is in my mouse or Apple Pencil. I just got an M4 Max Mac Studio and it is beyond awesome. Kudos to everyone at Apple, especially to Mr. Srouji’s group.
I really wonder what happed to Intel. It is amazing to see a company own the market and then fritter it away through bad decisions. I think part of it was that they were wedded to high clock speeds, all else be damned, so they lost big time on power consumption.
I also heard some rumors that a highly placed exec pushed hard for some specific process recipe that never panned out and that cost them several years of lead time. Incredible.
This really brings to mind Clayton Christensen’s ideas about the attacker’s advantage.

Every Intel Mac mini is now obsolete or vintage, and will be missed
well said. They decided they could focus on doing the same thing instead of moving forward. The future is not the past. This country needs to understand that as well.blastdoor said:The thing I miss is an Intel that designed and manufactured the best chips in the world. After Andy Grove, Intel switched mottos from “only the paranoid survive” to “only the complacent maximize next quarter’s profit and the CEO bonus.” Those CEOs achieved their goal — they got rich by cashing in on previous generations’ investments without making investments of their own.

Trump confirms he reduced tariffs to help Tim Cook
I thought he was saving America and we needed tariffs to build more. It's almost like the organ one has no idea what he's doing beyond greed and corruption.
