Hold my nose and pick the minimum harm candidates.
Vertical integration is when you control the entire product, in consumer electronics Apple is the gold standard; they make the software, hardware, and processors then integrate them into iPhones and macBooks. Tesla is a good example in the automotive space, their goal with the mega-factories is “raw materials in, cars out” and they work to build as many of the parts themselves as possible.
Alternately Microsoft just makes a good enough OS that runs on good enough hardware from commodity vendors, so you get good enough computers. Most auto makers buy good enough components from 2nd and 3rd tier suppliers and integrate them into good enough cars.
Yeah, blood libel never gets old, sadly.
Typically inline assembly is written in an #IFDEF block with a C/C++ alternative provided. Since the assembly is machine specific the devs need to write it for all the processor families they want to optimize for.
Steve Jobs had to die before AAPL paid dividends.
Heh, now do Software Engineers and IT guys…
Who regulates spectrum in disputed territory? As an operator you have to pick who you’re willing to piss off more, Russia has nukes and the capability to physically disrupt the Starlink network.
Relevant, and succinct.

Java is, of course, Turing Complete™️ but when you have to hide all the guns and knives in jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe something is clearly wrong.
It’s the same in the the standard c library, so Java is being consistent with a real programming language…
I think you mean a “Pixel” because most Samsung customers only care that it’s “Not an iPhone”
WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can’t mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can’t usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn’t really sell ads outside of the App Store.
If you want to worry about that stuff I’d suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.
