I certainly haven't read the Art of the Deal - can someone point me to the chapter where he explains the strategy of spreading misinformation about your counterparty, aggressively pressuring them to do something not in their best interest, and anger an entire continent of world leaders? Because it sure is sounding like he'll get NOTHING and Europe will protect their own. The Felon is just racking up the wins.
Enough of this defeatist "too little too late" bullshit. These comments are plagued with you fucks. We need EVERY little rock we can find to get stuck in their gears. We must move forward, so we can either accept defeat or beat back the second coming of Hitler. I don't think anyone should be shamed for fighting for what's right.
100%! And, 6 generations in the tech is pretty well advanced now. I don't mind being an early adopter, but with folding phones being so fragile and early ones having hideous and unusable cover screens for instance, I was fine waiting it out the issues until it was a bit more mature. They're still getting continuously better, it's a great time for anyone into the idea of a foldable.
Agreed, from the Fold6. If you're looking at it off axis, it's QUITE noticeable, but during normal use when I'm looking at it head-on I don't notice it visually. If I'm using it in landscape, I can feel it while scrolling - it's the sort of thing that you expect to bother you, but it's just not a big deal once you're used to it.
It took me a moment when I saw the pic to come to terms with the fact that, for as many times as I've seen kcal previously, I somehow never realized it was was short hand for kilocalories. 🤯
I know you're being intentionally vague, but if not chewing tobacco (which no one would call "doing drugs"), what in the FUCK was the COMMUNAL spit bottle about? 🤢
But then it is certainly the need for a jailbroken console that has Sony filing a DMCA. Sony has historically been ridiculously controlling and tight with their console software... I fortunately was pretty in the know and didn't upgrade my PSP software beyond the version range for running exploits - but there were periods of months where no progress was ever made on future versions. It was a very long, hard fought cat and mouse game. And another example, mod chip makers for PS3/4/5 have been repeatedly taken to court and dismantled by Sony.
It's certainly true that they're profitting off of the cheaper labor. I imagine their factory in Germany only has so much capacity and is tooled for manufacture of specific models. The original strategy with the resources they had lead them to break down their global manufacturing strategy in this way; but that's not to say they CANNOT do it differently, it just made fiscal sense due to probably a thousand different factors.
So I imagine that yes, they COULD move operations to the EU. But it's probably cheaper to fight legal battles and continue to operate this way for years while they're resolved in the courts.
citing the burdon of managing numerous pending cases.
It's so easy to not have numerous pending cases against you in the first place. I want nothing more than for this dipshit to be stuck in court defending every one of his illegal actions taken the last 55 years. Couldn't happen to a better person.
Yeah but the choice was between the two of them in that case. Unavoidable.
