Didn’t say they did. Just “easier”

Including the U.S.
The answer OP is looking for is: if you make it easy to kill people in pain you make it easier to kill people who aren’t. This is true for any animal including dogs our law just cares about their lives less.

Which again would be cheaper if they put the chips in separate enclosures. Just way bigger and more power usage.
Macs are good at video editing because they actually give a shit about hardware encoding. NVENC is the only competitor. Everything else is shit.

Can you give me an example? The video you linked has a timestamp to something about video encoding.

Yes as it turns out when your workload is 99999 idle applications, a larger number cores helps more than single core performance. SOCs don’t change that. They just reduce power and space usage at the expense of cost.

I get what you mean. Basically: what I’m trying to say is that desktop/non integrated CPUs are cheaper and this cost savings continues into a large form factor. Apple doesn’t put a desktop chip in their iMacs because they don’t make one. If they did it’d be 4x faster for the same price.

An AIO is effectively a laptop without a keyboard. They’re functionally very similar (appealing to less power-hungry users). They’re just less mobile.Presumably it’s cheaper for apple to just put the integrated CPUs in everything because it’d be expensive to make another model.
I garuntee you this trade off only makes sense for Apple. Other AIOs don’t always have the new laptop chips from Intel because it makes more sense to use the desktop one with all the space they have.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 3 days ago:
Integrated processors let laptops be faster without also using power. Strictly speaking it’d be cheaper to just use a faster CPU but battery life is more important than cost so lots of money is spent on integrating processors.
Desktops are still around because they’re upgradable and faster than their laptop brothers.
- Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow 3 days ago:
Desktop PCs are so much more powerful amd fast than laptops of the same spec.
High integration on laptops decreases space and cost.

Same with Ethernet
- Comment on US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America 1 week ago:
It’s a router if it operates on layer 3. Most WiFi routers only use two interfaces (ISP side and WiFi) and yet they are routers. They also provide a later 3 firewall.
- Comment on US bans any new consumer-grade routers not made in America 1 week ago:
I wonder how they define “router” as any device with two network interfaces can be made into a router.

I don’t think waffle enjoyers want one more square in the same waffle, they want a specific shape and ayruo/butter ratio per square. This waffle bricks that with its thick sections.

Yes I’m sure (/s) a constitutional amendment will go though in order to let trump run for another term after 4 decades of no new amendments.
