Yeah, that justifies a $44BN chip fab to lower the price of Nintendo game consoles...

They planned and designed a Fab to build type of chip nobody wants - it's back to the drawing board.

The planned Fab was going to make chips using a technology no one wants now, markets change, why build a fab if you can't sell the products it makes?

Uh, did you not finish reading even the headline?

If no one wants to buy their output, why build the Fab?

The concept you want to research is called 'market saturation', and if you have the time, consider looking into the concept of 'overproduction'...

Because, shockingly, the news outlets you choose to watch were too focused on the amazing THREE TRILLION increase in the national debt over ten years this bill supposedly will generate... oh, and the horror of denying illegal aliens and able-bodied childless working age adults free healthcare is regarded as KILLING millions of people...

Bringing on a a Republican to explain that if the Big Beautiful Bill doesn't get signed into law the standard deduction and child deductions will be cut in half wasn't the priority of CNN/MSNBC...

(Did you notice that once Trump was out of office and Biden was in office he didn't repeal the tax guys for millionaires and billionaires? I wonder why?)

Unlike the party that picked their Presidential candidate without asking their voters? Is THAT the party that cares about the voters?

Asking for a friend.

Elon got a BA in Physics a BS in economics (both from U Penn) and started a PhD in materials science (from Stanford), perhaps that satisfies the "enroll or undertake" requirement of his Student Visa?

One billion users compared to 1.4 billion devices? Are we assuming every user only owns one windows device?

It didn't add to their brilliant market analysis, which hinged on the idea that 1.4 billion is not the same as "over a billion".

Exactly, but Linux advocates can't contain themselves when there's even a possibility of dumping on MS.

Except, of course, the upgrade to Win 11 is free to anyone with an OEM or retail version of Windows 7, 8/8.1, or 10.

Imagine, those greedy bastards, encouraging users to stop using an OS they will no longer be supporting and instead encouraging them to use a supported OS!

Thankfully, Apple still supports all those Intel Macs everyone bought a few years ago, oh wait..

The 'loss' of 400 million windows users is bullshit - saying "more than one billion" includes, and possibly exceeds the 1.4 billion number from 2 years ago - but because we're talking about Microsoft, the tortured logic of the submitter is taken as fact ("because both statements were vetted by lawyers, they must be exactly accurate" said the bold industry analyst, safely ensconced in his mom's basement, last seen licking Cheeto's cheese flakes off his finger tips...)

No, it doesn't. Have you ever looked at MS's annual report?

Windows 11 accounts for 10% of revenue, Microsoft 365 accounts for about 25% of revenue, and Azure accounts for almost 40% of revenue:

It's bullshit.

And

Don't reveal a shrinking of 400 million desktops/laptops - it just doesn't.

Yusuf recently said "over a billion" and a couple years ago the MS annual report said "more than 1.4 billion" - you know what, "1.4 billion" can be described as being "over a billion".

This entire claim is based on the ASSUMPTION that when Yusuf said "over a billion" he REALLY meant exactly one billion.

Did Google actually give them ANY money, or did Google simply agree to pay for 200 MW of Fusion Energy when they start producing it?

I suspect it is simply a zero-cost marketing exercise - how can CF price electricity 10 years in advance?

Current M4 MacBook Air starts at $999, and big box retailers knock $100 or more off that list price, sometimes more.

I can buy an M4 MBA for $899 today at Microcenter, $855 if I use their store credit card to save 5% more.
