  • That’s actually a bit of a myth you know. Labour in China used to be dirt cheap 30 years ago but that’s not the case now. You need experts to build cars and they demand an appropriate salary. They probably don’t get paid as much as they would in the west but they’re not being paid pennies an hour either. However the idea that China is cheap has persisted.

    There’s a reason that Apple doesn’t make the iPhone there anymore. It was getting too expensive ie they were being asked to pay for a decent wage, and they weren’t prepared to.


  • Even before the current political situation I wouldn’t have bought a Tesla. They have a documented quality problem and not very good customer service at least outside of the US.

    Why would I buy a car that is not only more likely than most to break but when it does break it’s hard to get fixed. Spare parts are notoriously hard to get hold of and you usually have to deal with Tesla directly which is a problem because they don’t have a lot of dealerships in the UK. Also they won’t come to you, so if your car won’t start you have to arrange a pickup.

    I haven’t played any of the recent FIFA games but I remember the last one that played had truly awful AI. I never understood why they didn’t have a mode where you could have multiple players controlling different team members. This game actually seems to have that. In fact from the trailer it seems that this might be exclusively multiplayer which is an interesting idea.

    Although this game is a football game in the same way Balatro is a poker game











  • This is a PR issue. For some bizarre reason they decided that game preservation should be independent of the right to repair movement a movement that had fairly significant momentum by the time they started talking about games preservation. So for some insane reason they separated the two concepts in people’s minds and that resulted in nobody caring.

    Then they decided to whine about the fact that it was unsuccessful despite the fact that they’d essentially done everything they could to kneecap the movement.


  • So how is that different?

    I don’t understand, the arguement is whether or not they should have equated this to the right to repair movement, and then you say you think that’s a bad idea but I don’t understand your justification. Your justification seems to be that people don’t care about software, but my if they do not care about software, then they also do not care about hardware, and therefore your comment is irrelevant.

    I literally don’t understand your justification for not equating game preservation to right to repair.


  • Why are you being intentionally disingenuous?

    I will say it again just so it’s stated.
    People are not going to move to another service unless they can obviously see the benefit in moving to that service. People who are not technically inclined (that doesn’t mean stupid) are not going to see the benefit.

    Don’t be rude about people you don’t know anything about. Don’t insult their intelligence just because they’re not as interested in a very niche area of technology as you are.

    spoiler

    Why are you friend with stupid people?

    Also note that if you are going to be rude about people you know nothing about, you had better check your grammar




  • They go on about long-term investment and then you find out that what they’re actually talking about is things that will start returning a profit in 6 months. Half a year is long-term to them.

    If you have a long-term view and want to make quite a lot of money you probably couldn’t do better than shorting Apple stock. They never innovate anymore (every iPhone is literally the same as the previous years), and they spend huge amounts of money on failed projects (Vision Pro), meanwhile they continue not to fix ongoing serious issues (Safari).
