They're like 3rd in laptop quality though. Their cameras and TVs are nice so hey, if they have a reputation for making quality gear, people go with them. I don't buy Apple products on pure principal because of their lovely policies and history but Sony's more of a joke and only a small section of their product "strategies" were a litigation-worthy level of evil.
I am? lol. I've never used, seen, or read reviews on the Pi. Is it bad? For $25 I wondered if maybe some parts were sub-par. I helped modify the design for a custom FPGA miner for a major manufacturer and my main contribution was swapping out the main capacitors with Japanese solid polymer ones because its' like $600 so why the hell not? But trying to duck under a ridiculous dollar amounts usually means you got your components out of Asia's bargain bin, lol.
Well if they both have problems then screw it, get a real computer, lol. There actually are a couple decent android tablets for about $125.
This is definitely right up there with Apple suing Samsung when Samsung makes their screens and leases them patents. Obviously backlash was coming! You know what they always say: Those in glass houses shouldn't throw cell phones.
If fiber optic networks' #1 enemy is squirrels, imagine what rockets, grenades, and assorted bombs would do to it. Considering the sensitivity and the repair costs, this seems pretty stupid. They even shy away from putting optical fiber in earthquake areas let alone a recurring war zone.
...but you were wrong! lol. Good thing 99.99999% of bitcoin mining rigs run exclusively AMD graphics cards or that'd be the first target. If you want fast, easy, untraceable money theft, you target the miners and their pools. A lot of bitcoin miners are actually purposely running older versions of the Catalyst Control Center that run bitcoin calculations faster so imagine what a disaster it would be if it wasn't Nvidia's software that was exploited this time!
You're right. The words "cheap" and "Chinese" are sort of red flags that maybe you won't find such nice USB headers and will have power distribution problems or noise on the audio ports or heat issues or bad liquid capacitors or any variety of cheap hardware problems.
So they claim Marvel make hard drives but since they don't, I take it they're talking about their SSD controllers? There's no way in hell they made a billion off that. Otherwise the article contradicts itself and says they instead supply parts for others to make spinning hard drives and gives a number. They said WD is their big customer but not sole customer so...Seagate sued their own supplier? Or they join sued or...I don't get it. Really nothing in this article makes sense. Does anyone have a link to a more accurate one?
P.S. after Marvel's long history of the world's worst ethernet controllers, they deserve this
Maaaaybe they should keep their industrial equipment and controlling computers OFF THE INTERNET, seeing as how they have no reason to be on the internet. Then set up a bulletproof VLAN and you're a hell of a lot better off than now.
He doesn't seem to know the difference between "cost" and profit. He keeps using the word cost but I'm not sure he actually knows what it means. Well boo hoo and let me get out the world's smallest violin now that they have to compete on price in their former monopoly market.
A "you don't actually own anything" model is pretty new to gamers so they're kinda paranoid about Steam. Something like this is a Netflix-level event that will scare away millions. Hopefully it scares away game developers too, who are making steam-only distributions like Skyrim.
Keep your blinders on because you don't want to see the reality of the world where the States aren't the techno king anymore.
Oh bullshit, the last 10 techno remixes I listened to on Youtube were made in either the US or Europe.
Also, no, their quality standards are crap. They're like a 12 year old kid showing off or an inner city Asian person ricing out their Honda. They'll build the world's biggest _____ or fastest ______ just to say they have it but it's a hastily made, poorly designed piece of crap that doesn't function correctly. They just designed it for their own egos and to make their crappy country look better as a propaganda statement. For example, their bullet trains.
Ooh that's around $10,000 USD. Not bad indeed. And y'all didn't think this was a bitcoin story, lol.
Btw, if they have a decent amount of lolcat collections in there, they could definitely make up that much money selling funny lolcat shirts!
Perhaps you aren't familiar with the laws of stupid careers with zero profit margin. The golden rule is make your headline as outrageous and reader-baiting as possible or you don't get any more grant money. There are whole Discovery channel documentaries about dark matter even though it's a math error and they star "celebrity" scientists and theorists who definitely have that rule understood.

Just watch for zombie mutants. It will have been slightly earlier than that.

Or you could mark "fish" on your card, lol. Just kidding, but you could pretend to be a vegetarian. They pretty much have to comply with that.

- You will get hacked if you use something 1 million+ other people use. It's just a matter of time.

Well, that's true and it is cheaper, lol.
I'm going to take a wild guess that Apple's US R&D designed it, China just builds it.
That's extremely surprising considering everything they make is crap.
Dunno if you're 14 or what but back in the day, no games supported voice chat and nobody used Vent. That's when I learned to type.
I assume after Halo 2, they had a patent on virtual tea bagging.
He already makes plenty of money on his Iron Man suits and associated technology so this was just a low income side project he did for fun.
I'm surprised the jokes about the boat actually made their way here since clearly, they're using Apple Maps to navigate.
Or the rest was in Itunes store credit but that was hidden in tiny print in an illogical category in the terms of the contract.
