Because he would then hand you a mic to challenge his point. In a healthy debate. And you connected your own dots on the second point to satisfy your sick sense of justice.

The real last mover is Apple, because boy are they not moving.
It sure does, but also provides the company with exponentially more room for growth. As it stands they still make fast, tiny, low power computers with a large amount of community and enterprise support. They still make an in-demand product, and aren't finding difficulty in selling them. Investing in IPO's is a real gambler and suckers game to me, but in the long term this could accelerate the growth of the company greatly. Whether that leads to exciting and innovative new products from them is completely in their hands.
Completely true, it would be a combination of both. Clearly it didn't meet a lot of expectations indicated by the selloff, but selling could also be aggravated by a sell day in the Nasdaq/XLC and high impact economic events on the horizon. This is all conjecture from me, I am by no means a market expert, just offering a way to rationalize the above comment on how a good/"not that bad" earnings report can still result in a stock having a large selloff.
There could be other factors in play like the recent volatility in Netflix within the same sector, as well as the upcoming FOMC meeting tomorrow causing increased fear. Markets aren't always as accurate and efficient as some believe, and stock prices always become more volatile around earnings.
Apple signed a deal with TSMC to purchase nearly all of their available 3nm chips for the next year. Ethical or not, they positioned themselves to ensure almost no competitors could develop on 3nm until they did first since no fab on earth has the scale of TSMC. They could ride this plan for years if it pays them.

Still can't bring myself to use the new Reddit layout. Every time I visit the site on a new/different PC I cringe at how bad I am at navigating a site I browse daily.
Re:Using the same Arch Linux installation for a decade on Tuesday August 16, 2022 @02:05PM (#32486497)
I recently adopted Arch onto my laptop and didn't even realize 'archinstall' wasn't always a thing. I looked up a traditional Arch installation and think I might have skipped it had the installer not been present when I was distro hopping.
