One is a hotel, while the other is a motel.

Buyers know tsmc is reliable and already up and running. Making a large order of needed chips out of a factory that is incomplete, doesn't have the required staff, may have issues finding the staff, and has already had to attempt retrofitting in an entirely new processing and equipment line for 2nm nodes while Samsung has been having issues at their other plants with qc, while the plant has already had delays in opening seems like a very risky move. I wouldn't want to order anything through them I needed before the plant was up and running, and shown to actually produce good chips.

TBF, I don't see a single shopping bag or anything purchased in the entire photo.

It kind of isn't. The EU is giving the cell companies guidelines on how they should test their batteries, and then report their numbers back to the EU. So "Apple" are testing their apple phones and then telling the EU their alleged numbers.

Doesn't mean they use the same chemistry. There's a lot of different lithium batteries.

Samsung isn't even using the latest\greatest tech in cell phone batteries. The Redmagic 10 pro uses a silicon-carbon anode based battery in a dual cell form. It means fast charging is split between 2 batteries so there's less battery damage on a recharge, and the chemistry is more energy dense.

Also, it seems the cell phone companies self assess the tests and report them to the EU, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

Yeah, but when I was a kid back in the 80's and saw them in the mail order catalogs, I completely believed they were just head and neck massagers.

I don't know if I'm going mad or the Internet has been scrubbed clean of it, but I can't find a source anywhere on my 2023 claim, now. It was an article I'd thought I read pretty recently.

It happened while Biden was president, though. Like 2022|23.

The popularity has dipped, but they still have 1,500,000 players per day average and make about $9,000,000 per day. Over 14,000,000 players were on towards the end of last year when they did a juiceworld tribute event.

That include fortnite skins?

Ours was very mixed with boys and girls. It was the easiest required fine at credit to get in order to graduate. The art class at our School sucked. It was more like an art history class and you had to write more papers than English class.

All your examples are of things that were stopped while at school, so your argument doesn't really carry over. You still had your pokemon cards everywhere else.
