  • They’ve had fab problems for years, in that it cost them a ton on money and much longer than desired to shrink nodes, so they’ve fallen from a leader in fab production to being behind.

    Not to mention there’s not much money to be made from fabs, unless your tsmc.

    AMD, Qualcomm, Nvidia, Google, Apple, are all huge tech companies that design their own cutting edge chips, and only Samsung is another company that both designs and produces chips.









  • I have grown up pretty much my entire life hearing and thinking that protests are the way to bring about change, but everyone conveniently leaves out the fact that you have to build that political movement too.

    People want to show up for a protest and be done, many people don’t want to do the work to be an activist and work for change, and honestly I don’t blame them.

    Hell I know people who went to BLM protests, Palestine protests and pro choice protests… But don’t vote, so sorry if I seem overly critical of protesting. I’m just sick of prevalent idea that it’s all you need to do.



  • No, not really. One of the great america propagandizing myths is that protests are effective. They’re not, they can easily be ignored. What does work is organized strikes and planned disruptions of key targets with protests.

    In certain forms, or in conjunction with other forms of activism it can still work. For example tree sit ins to prevent logging.

    Occupy wall street, BLM, the protests when Row v Wade were overturned all largely accomplished nothing on their own.





  • Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

    Another example would be deadspace 3.

    Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

    Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

    Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

    I don’t like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don’t seem to be as rare.
