It's an InFO-PoP chip, the DRAM and the Logic chip don't even have substrate between them. The Mx are also packages similar to that. The M5 Pro/Max in particular use the latest called SoIC-mH.

And unfortunately at some point, your Intel and AMD chips will also be built that way. The separation between the RAM and the processors cause a lot of technical problems that require lots of workarounds.

To be honest, that sounds impossibly high. Even when I was a child (1980s) I didn't know that many adults who watched movies.

I guarantee you that people answered this because of the questions they were asked:

I 'd be willing to be people who watched movies on Netflix/etc would also say that they went to a theater to watch a movie. This is why surveys are not research.

Do you work in the real world? Like the one where people choose to work when sick and there's nobody turning any thumbscrews on them? Hell I went to work Friday despite being sick so that I could be there while my co-workers handed me candy. That was entirely internal feelings that didn't come from my boss.

I will add that on the "upper end" of reading, those of use who read enormous quantiles of books, we by and large had migrated to ebook subscription services and there's been recently a bit of death of those.

They were fine and fun through most of the pandemic but then apparently AI because just "good enough" that those books that were kind poorly written by amateurs could suddenly be written by AI. Sadly those books are just terrible.

Maybe we'll go back to paperbacks, but I'm not sure. Hard to say when you read about 320 books a year. (For about 30 years now.) Japanese eBooks are still a bit better, but there's less fluff books in Japanese.

They use 3d scanning to confirm the suits are "right sized" and yes it's sports for minor physical characteristics can have performance enhancements.

Having bigger shoulders in luge makes a performance difference. Having bigger cakes in skeleton has a performance difference. In women's sprint events, there's a performance difference for having bigger cakes as well.

Same here.

I stopped watching pretty much anything after 2018 or so.

Just random shit on YouTube or TV when I'm in the car (because our cars all have TV in them, not sure why that didn't catch on in the West, but it's universal in Japan.)
