ajaimk··on Apple orders entire supply of TSMC's 3nm chips for iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Macs
When this says 45,000 Wafers in March, are we talking about Wafer Starts of finished wafers? What's the cycle time for 3nm?
ajaimk··on Women’s underwear is taxed at higher rates than Men’s
The article doesn't actually explain the why or the math behind this. It arbitrarily tells us to believe the headline is true with no sources or math formula showing how this came to be.

I feel like I just wasted 5 mins of my life.
