According to some guy named Rahul Bollini? That’s not very convincing.

Dominating which market though? China is heavily subsidizing these cars like they do with a lot of new tech when they want to undercut non-Chinese companies. I guarantee if any other manufacturer had similar subsidies, the situation would be different.

Intel has had plants in Israel for decades. Back in 2014, a friend got hired by an Intel vendor to work in Israel.

I’m pretty sure certain instances actually censor out swear words automatically.

Only if you want to signal that they’re doing a bad job. 25% seems much more reasonable if they’re doing a standard job as a landlord by doing things like collecting your rent money on time.

I’d have to agree. I’m working my way through it again and got stuck on season 5 because I’m not really interested in the whole convoluted “aliens abducted Scully and Mulder’s sister but also maybe they weren’t really aliens” plotline. The monster of the week episodes were the best. I didn’t remember til this point how much I disliked this part of the show last time, and I’m really not looking forward to hearing “Agent John Doggett” 42 times per episode a couple more seasons from now.

Supernatural seasons 1-5 are some quality monster of the week episodes. I never watched past that point because it was a fitting conclusion and I heard the show went off the rails after that.

Star Trek (TNG, DS9, VOY) would also be quality serialized shows.

What type of stuff do you like? I see down below you stating your dislike for modern popular shows.

A lot of people didn’t like season 1 of the Expanse (I enjoyed it) and said it got much better after that. I will say the Amazon seasons aren’t too great either as it looked and felt more like a low-budget soap opera.

Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad were both made by Vince Gilligan who worked on X-Files as well so they’re a good choice assuming you’re one of the few who haven’t already seen them.

Sounds like they’re delaying because their Exynos chip is wildly unpopular compared to Snapdragon and simply blaming it on the CHIPS Act as cover. They’re claiming it’s because they need this couple billion in subsidies while also claiming they plan to invest $200 billion here? Seems like Samsung should be able to cover the tab in the interim if they really wanted to build here. This bill is already signed into law so why wouldn’t they receive the funds at some point? Is this 1% of their total investment really that critical?

This is just like Walgreens and RiteAid claiming they have to close stores due to theft, only to later admit that was a complete fabrication.
