  • Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year?

    Jump

  • Companies like to make money. Cell phone makers do it by selling phones. By always having something newer and better they create more demand than if they only sell the same old thing, even if it was good enough. This way, they encourage people to buy phones before their old one is broken or out of service simply because they believe they are getting something better. If they just let people believe last year's model is still good enough, fewer people will decide they need to upgrade and they won't sell as many.

  • Clothes company cannot "cancel" an order that hasn't shipped, must ship it and do a return.

  • Wow that's crazy.

    I can imagine the situation where the order is committed and already getting processed in the warehouse and they don't have a way to stop it going out the door, but if they're able to intervene and add a return slip then that is just inexcusable

  • that makes sense, I definitely added the URL to have it autogenerate the title headline and I added the image after. that is annoying!

  • Sorry, I added the link in an edit. according to the article as well as another referenced in nature, the duration is "months to years" or ">3 months" so it sounds like the formulation can vary but long term enough to be both convenient and non-permanent for longer term planning.

    How do the likes of JD Vance and Drumpf rationalise no more DEI when they have wives who are DEI? It makes no sense.

  • I wouldn't say DEI generally means

    We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors

    That sounds more like quotas or affirmative action taken to the literal extreme, since those programs typically include other factors as well.

    DEI is more about respecting the value that diversity brings to a team and making sure you have an environment that allows for all sorts of people to be included and welcome.

    That said, totally agree that Melania Trump and Usha Vance aren't "DEI wives." It is certainly hypocritical that they embody immigration stories and Melania in particular may be illegal. But I don't think anyone in the current regime is concerned one bit about consistency in ideology, it's really just whatever they can get away with that leads to more power.
