Shipping .unwrap() to prod speaks ill of their engineering culture. Quality is a process not a checkbox.

The carrier gives you a subsidized price on the phone and then you pay for it as part of the service bill. If you can unlock it you could switch to a cheaper carrier. None of this should be allowed of course. Phones should always be unlockable.

Every low end IoT box made in china will be 'encouraged' to use CXMT aided by state subsidies. This will shrink the market for market price DRAM. When the AI bubble pops DRAM makers will discover the importance of diversification.

What a disaster for Micron. Having a consumer facing brand is 'crucial' for brand awareness. Micron is the smallest of the big 3 in DRAM and the only one in America. They're going to be swallowed up and replaced by CXMT.

If apple wanted to show that they have good hardware they wouldn't gimp the iPad pro with iOS. They really don't care.

AI regulation should wait until after the crash. That way AI can be regulated for what it does and not the fever dream pushed by marketers.

The crude composition defines a range of possible products, not exactly ratios. Longer chain hydrocarbons are also cracked to yield more light products.

You get slightly better mpg on premium, just not enough to justify the cost.
