Well that’s good news — at least it’s one-and-done and won’t divert resources and money from SNW.

Whaaa… Wasn’t this going to be a show? When did that happen?

My expectations for this show could not be any lower.

Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?

Blackmail is a terrible way to attract investment to your country. This is like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter after he told them to fuck off.

Jakarta is seeking to boost investment from foreign tech companies with restrictive measures that require their phones to be 40 per cent sourced from parts in Indonesia.

Absolutely ridiculous policy. Imagine if every country pulled this stunt.

I’m not surprised the Corsair is better - it looks like there’s a whole nvme drive in there.

What’s that number in words?

Per the article, it’s 20 decillion.

Last time someone did that it triggered a conflict between Serbia and Albania!

I can absolutely see how the greedy would get scammed by this.

Really? The only way that could sound more like a scam is if there were a chyron at the bottom spelling out THIS IS A SCAM.

I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.

I’m definitely going to use this euphemism from now on.

It isn’t even close to making a profit. They are bleeding billions per year with no obvious path to breaking even, let alone profiting enough to justify their enormous valuation. It’s very much a bubble and I look forward to the day it pops.

You may want to familiarize yourself with how their tracking pixel works. In brief, you add a line of code (provided by Facebook) to any given website and on page load that code displays a 1x1px transparent image from Facebook’s servers that allows them to establish a correlation between the loading of that website and the identity of the person logged in to Facebook on that browser. it isn’t “hiding” anything or circumventing Facebook in any way. It’s a core part of their advertising offerings. https://www.facebook.com/business/goals/retargeting

Except you can add a tracking pixel to the destination website after people click through on the ad, which correlates to people’s individual profile. To say that isn’t “handing out personal information to others” is sophistry of the highest order.

Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others

Huh? How do you think ad targeting works?

That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault

Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.
