  • Disagreeing, the comic is stupid in its comparison of voluntarily wearing headphones and living under an authoritarian government, one is very easy to change (literally just buy an alternative), the other quite difficult.

    isn’t the first panel (of the original comic) the very definition of, “act on your principles when you have ample ability to do so”?

    Why would it be? They bought the headphones knowing full well the company behind them

    If consumers wanted to they could severely punish Apple and go with a company that makes smartphones in the west or not in chinese sweat shops, there are companies like https://www.fairphone.com/ and https://e.foundation/e-os/ and they’re ok, but the demand just isn’t there, hence the memes

    The people have voted with their wallets and are ok with billionaires and slaves making iphones









  • I was like DDR4 doesn’t count

    One well-documented memory industry trend that is behind the price increases seen is said to be makers shutting down their DDR4 production in favor of DDR5 and other more profitable lines. In February, we noted that the likes of Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix were being rudely elbowed out of the DDR4 market by Chinese players (such as CXMT and Fujian Jinhua) ruthlessly undercutting them in this segment.

    Samsung was seen to flinch in late April, as reports circulated that the South Korean technology and manufacturing giant had scheduled to cease DDR4 production in early June.

    Now there are indications that oversupply from Chinese ‘dumping’ is at an end, as CXMT has been instructed by the Chinese government to abandon DDR4 manufacturing. Thus, the reported spikes in DDR4 pricing in recent weeks may stem from a perfect storm of the above supply-side factors all exerting an effect over a relatively short period of time.
