throwaway2990··on Earth just experienced its hottest 12 months in recorded history
That would mean the earth is tilting and the change in temp is not man made.

lol. When data is not cherry picked then those better equipped people’s opinion might be worth listening to.
throwaway2990··on Japan bets $67B to become a global chip powerhouse once again
I haven’t seen any “China can’t silicon”. They are catching up sure, and they will eventually do 7nm well, but it seems like instead of praising China for progression, the pro-China people are like “see the west sucks China has 7nm!!!” When the reality is that the 7nm is as good as CPUs 15 years ago. Let’s appreciate that China isn’t siting around doing nothing and improving the competition. But not overhype something.

That’s simply not true. Release day of iPhone 15 had people queued at the door and sold out online.

Release day of Mate 60 saw Huawei stores empty.

I trust the live videos on the release day providing more evidence of demand that sales numbers which are as manipulated as much as their covid numbers.

Huawei apparently is making 7nm chips for their Mate 60 phone, but it’s apparently terrible, overheating issues, slow, high power consumption.

I think the power issue is because the camera and mic are on 24/7, they showed QR codes being read while the screen is off.

“Rhetoric”

There’s no rhetoric. When you phrase things this way it just makes you sound like an anti-USA pro-China troll.

throwaway2990··on Science fiction authors were excluded from awards for fear of offending China
Meanwhile in reality China spreads anti America propaganda at school while in America, China runs positive China propaganda classes and programs.

Source? Mainstream media. There’s no conspiracy saying “only post negative stuff”
throwaway2990··on Science fiction authors were excluded from awards for fear of offending China
There is far more anti America propaganda than anti China.

lol plenty of mainstream media write positivity about China. But equally they write about how terrible the CCP is because, it’s the truth.
throwaway2990··on Pro CCP 'spamouflage' network pivoting to focus on US election
lol how do you think one man has so power. He has surrounded himself with people he trusts. And killed off any threat to himself.
throwaway2990··on Pro CCP 'spamouflage' network pivoting to focus on US election
It’s naive to think Xi is not powerful. If he had less power than the CCP he would have been removed for all the disastrous decisions he’s made with covid and other aspects of the economy.
throwaway2990··on Pro CCP 'spamouflage' network pivoting to focus on US election
He didn’t incite a rebellion. Stop spreading more lies.

> But Xi doesn't rule China alone, the CCP does.

Xi has more power than the CCP.

throwaway2990··on Apple confirms it's breaking iPhone web apps in the EU on purpose
USB-C spec is not very clear. And even in cases where it is clear. It’s not followed. There’s so many bad cables around. Cables that work on 1 device but not another, cables which do data and not PD, cables that do PD and not data, USB-C has the nicest plug with the worst experience.

No.

Lemon+Sugar is my favourite.
throwaway2990··on Postgres as queue
lol no it’s not.
throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
And it was part of 1 country 2 systems.

Which proved there is no such thing. Because the CCP still has their foot in HK and making sure there is no 2 systems.

throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
I know you love the CCP and try your best to defend them, doesn’t change the fact that one of the primary reasons for the protests was the security law which came from Beijing.
throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
In Taiwan it’s called Taiwanese. It’s similar to Hokkien which is why it’s often referred to as Taiwanese Hokkien. But it’s not 1:1. And people outside of Taipei will assume you speak it and understand it.
throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
China was forcing HK to accept China laws and HK didn’t want it. They protested.

Don’t try and and make it sound like HK were just randomly protesting nothing.

throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
But they do speak Taiwanese in Taiwan which you wouldn’t understand if you only spoke mandarin.
throwaway2990··on TSMC to build second Japan chip factory
Outside of Taipei, a lot of people speak Taiwanese. (While they also speak mandarin if you don’t know Taiwanese you can only understand a bit of what people say)
throwaway2990··on jQuery v4.0 Beta
lol react. Never seen a good react project. They all end up a mess.
throwaway2990··on We've already seen category 6 hurricanes – scientists want to make it official
Don’t say that. You will get called a climate denier.
throwaway2990··on We've already seen category 6 hurricanes – scientists want to make it official
Yup it’s a good way to make it fit the narrative and get more funding.
throwaway2990··on Companies embracing SMS for account logins should be blamed for SIM-swap attacks
Anyone who thinks companies using sms are to blame for sim-swap attacks are idiots.

Allowing sim swap without any sort of verification is the issue. You cannot just sim swap in countries outside of America.

throwaway2990··on Amazon left Roomba with a huge mess to clean up
I live in Asia. Have lots of high quality Chinese products.

My point is China doesn’t do a lot of the up front R&D. They ride off the back of copies. But they are really good at improving them.

throwaway2990··on Amazon left Roomba with a huge mess to clean up
If company A spends millions on research and development to produce a product, and sells it for a 20% margin to attempt to recoup its R&D and make a profit, and a Chinese company is like “oh cool, let’s copy it, sell it at half the price, but we get a 90% margin cos we have access to all the cheap labour and resources with no R&D overhead” the problem isn’t not being able to be competitive at 46% market share.
