There’s a reason TSMC does most of the world’s chip fabrication.
It’s complex and extremely expensive. Standing up a fab, in America no less, capable of handling Apple’s demand would be an astronomically expensive feat. Apple would never do this while TSMC is still an option. Even after the tariffs it would still probably be cheaper to use TSMC.

So, instead of selecting the better of two bad options (according to you), you chose the worse of two bad options. And that’s supposed to make some sort of point?
Do I shoot myself in the foot or the head? The head, that’ll show em!

- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a ham fisted rationalization. Not an explanation.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 weeks ago:
That’s a lot of words to rationalize total disinterest in the lives of people OP claims are their friends.
- Comment on Do you actually care about your friend's new baby, vacation abroad or similar life events or are you just being nice? 4 weeks ago:
Indeed. OP basically outing themselves as a self centered narcissist.

Hot dog. I’ve always found swallowing pills difficult. The hot dog shape is weaker in the middle and breaks in half more easily.

I mean, in this particular case, they’re right. Roblox is predatory AF.

Same. This was very common mom attire when I was growing up.
- Comment on As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play ads when I pause a video 6 months ago:
None of those services offer the same kind of content though. Tiktok offers 30s - a couple of minutes videos (vines, essentially), streams are hours long and are fundamentally different because they’re interactive with chat. YouTube offers the 5min - 30min edited content, with exceptions here and there (1hr+ content).
Your 11 year old nephew doesn’t watch YouTube because he’s 11 and has the attention span of a squirrel. He’s not watching a 30 minute video about the Canadian housing crisis.

Not… Slavery? Nobody said prisoners need to be used as slave labour. The removal of freedom is sufficient punishment.
- Comment on Always look on the bright side of life 10 months ago:
Slavery doesn’t have anything to do with compensation. Slavery is about the absence of choice.

Depends on the metrics you’re using.
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 11 months ago:
Ya this. The extra 18% should be baked into the menu pricing so that at least the cost is known up front. This is kind of like sneaking it in.
- Comment on Facepalm 1 year ago:
Yes, a premium view is more valuable to YouTube’s ad impressions. I struggle to believe any of that value actually makes it into the content creators pocket.
I much prefer subscribing to a content creators personal patreon (or equivalent) as opposed to lining Google’s pockets.
- Comment on Facepalm 1 year ago:
What exactly is the percentage of YouTube premium revenue that goes to content creators?
