This is a false equivalence, Intel's problems were with all motherboard manufacturers, AMDs have only been with ASRock barring some users with bent pins.

Forums weren't social media, and people actually had conversations there. YouTube comments are just screaming into the void.

I don't understand this recent trend to describe Youtube as social media. Television isn't social media, you aren't interacting with anyone, you are passively consuming.

To be frank, I believe the way sites like twitter, or instagram where people passively follow public figures isn't social media either.

Taiwan is strategically useful to the USA today because of TSMC's manufacturing in the country. If America were to have domestic chip making comparable, then Taiwan would lose its strategic importance and potentially lose military support.

The irony of LinkedIn is there are a lot of people posting wanting to be seen as thought leaders but the posts are largely vapid.

Ah conservative brain rot thinking that caring about the environment and not supporting nazis is "virtue signalling".

if the inflation was high (which it isn't) the stock prices of companies selling products at higher prices would also be up.

Except that you don't have range anxiety driving around your city. I think the vast majority of people want long range for road trips.

What? Githubs source code was never public, so why should it be relevant for their buyer to have that restriction. Github in the early days also contributed a fair amount to git as I recall, and to be frank without Github I'm not sure that git would have ever been meaningfully successful in the broader market.

Its not quite as simple as moving your own supporters into other districts, from what I recall from the John Oliver piece years ago there actually two methods: packing & splitting. Packing involves concentrating support for the other party into one district so they only win one instead of multiple. Or alternatively splitting up opponent strongholds amongst yours.

the venn diagram for GTA 6 and roblox are two distinct circles. For anyone who isn't familiar Roblox is pretty sleazy for monetization, I'd recommend seeking out Jeff Gerstmann's recent Youtube video on it.

Maybe thought should have to disclose that its fake, I recall France or somewhere having that sort of requirement for digitally altered photos. From both a body image perspective and a truth in advertising perspective disclosure would make sense.

I can see both sides here - we only need to look at the behaviour of Wells Fargo to understand what will eventually go wrong with manufacturers running all dealers. That said, I don't see why we should protect the dealership model either since many have behaved unethically for decades.

I don't think you really mean financial advisors (someone who helps someone invest in public assets, they may work off fees, kickbacks, or by simply selling their employer's assets) I suspect you may mean a fund manager, someone who runs a mutual fund?

That would be true for partners - but most VC firms take money from investors (pension funds, wealthy individuals) and invest it in companies.
