  • Apple, other smartphone builders taking NAND that Nintendo needs for Switch production

    dws-2dws-2
    I do not understand Nintendo. Their products seem to be hard to buy for years after release. Once or twice for 6 months or so is just the market catching them by surprise. This consistent shortage over time of so many products leads me to believe it's either some strategy (that I don't get) or else really, really bad execution. I tend to think the later, but I guess I'm not in their shoes, so I don't know.

  • Apple drops to 5th place in LaptopMag's brand rankings after leading for multiple years

    Now I'm going to score two spouses using the same method:

    Spouse 1:
    Loving 10/10
    Supportive 10/10
    Willingness to take out the garbage when full 2/10
    Car knowledge 4/10
    Intelligence 10/10
    Thriftyness 6/10
    Overall 7/10

    Spouse 2:
    Loving 3/10
    Supportive 3/10
    Willingness to take out the garbage when full 10/10
    Car knowledge 10/10
    Intelligence 9/10
    Thriftyness 10/10
    Overall 7.5/10

    So I guess that most people would prefer the second spouse because even though he or she doesn't love you or support you, the other items make up for it. (S/he hates me and the kids, but at least s/he takes out the garbage and doesn't waste money.)

    TLDR: This way of looking at the world is stupid.

    "In China, the Chinese Foreign Ministry is urging the US to stop "stop listening in, monitoring, stealing secrets and internet hacking" against the country. China has a deep in-country internet monitoring system, as well as the so-called "Great Firewall of China." "

    so? China can do what it likes in its own country. It's the fact that the USA feels it has a god given right to spy on and police the entire world. Even so called friendly countries; UK, Germany etc.
    I'd be shocked if all countries didn't spy on each other. Other countries' statements are more of a public relations things than real outrage. China in particular (and unsurprisingly) seems to be spying on the U.S. in every way it can.

  • As legal spat with Apple continues, Qualcomm teases ultra-fast 1.2Gbps LTE mobile chips

    I'm glad that it's 20% faster, but I wonder how much faster it will be in real-world conditions. For example, is it faster in weak signal areas? Is it faster when the network is congested?

  • Apple suspends sales of LG's UltraFine 5K monitor over hardware issues

    dws-2dws-2
    I hope Apple views this as a failed experiment.

    I bought mine, and I love the screen, but everything else is problem after problem.

    I move the cord at all, and the image cuts out.
    The cords attached to the monitor sometimes don't work until I plug and unplug them.
    My Macbook Pro randomly shuts down when connecting or disconnecting if I use clamshell mode.
    I don't have mine by a router, but that's a future potential problem, too.
