dont know where people are getting the idea that this would make the iphone outrageously more expensive. iphones are already pretty much the phone with the highest profit margin, 54% on the iphone 14max. adding to that, the pay for the average foxconn worker in china isnt as low compared to the minimum wage in most us states as one might imagine, with around 2.80$ compared to 7.25$ minimum wage. its pretty bad, but they arent paid cents per hour. lastly, labor isnt exactly whats expensive about the iphone anyway.

looking at all these numbers, it seems entirely plausible for apple to manufacture iphones in the us while barely raising the price.

besides that, these comments also come off as a defense of sweatshop work. im sure thats not the intent, but you gotta ask yourself what it sounds like when you mock the idea of work being done by (more) reasonably paid people, because it would make your already overpriced toy more expensive. i get that dunking on trump is fun, but this a really weird angle.

should have reopened funorb, amirite?

pardons arent a thing in germany

a lie is a statement that the speaker knows to be wrong. wouldnt claiming that AIs can lie imply cognition on their part?

im not convinced. can you provide video proof?

afaik they basically make nothing on the hardware. wasnt the ps3 even sold at a loss?

i think ive heard rumblings about a steam controller 2? not entirely sure though

Funny thing is they could have had that. But then they killed their entire modding scene for shark cards

I donated 300 funko pops to him. How many figurines equal one figure?

Ohh dont worry, ill recite the lords prayer five times to repent for having fun with a trash game

i know that shitting on bethesda is en vogue (and for good reason) but you know what: if i want to slaughter thomas the flying tank engine in skyrim for WHAT HE DID to our atmosphere, todd just lets me. because he is cool like that

You’re just upset because I dared to be critical of something you and the bandwagon enjoy.

“my opinion is unpopular, therefore i must be right” will never not be hilarious to me. but hey, go ahead and enjoy the metal gear games. i heard they are a bit underground, but that seems to suit your style

sorry but everything you wrote honestly sounds like “this game is not for me, therefore its bad”

ahh i apologize, i thought all comments came from you

whats that about “curry smell” and “they discovered deodorant”?

edit: nvm, those are from somebody else

then you can block me too, i guess. AI companies literally use pirated media to train their models. If not even big publishing houses and studios can do anything against it, your little link will generate nothing but laughter

nobody talked about nobility

okay? who denied that?

just looked it up, it was the british. in an operation led by (drumroll please): rear-admiral george cockburn. i didnt read further and now believe he incinerated the whitehouse with his power of dick rashes

If the story of borderlands 4 is near as interesting as skibidi toilets, i might actually play it.
