Your comparison between phones and VR/AR is reasonable but a bit different as when windows phones were discontinued, Microsoft had pretty much lost the phone os race. Also the windows phones sucked, I've used them...

IMO microsoft gave vr/ar a fair chance. They might have been early, but if we are eg. a full decade off must buy VR, then it might not be worth waiting.

I mean if the goal was to discourage union membership, then I can understand why they did that. Obviously that backfired...

They are technically correct in that it's the developers fault that they tied themselves to a proprietary game engine.

In the other hand Godot was nowhere near mature when the slay the spire devs most likely started development. They would be dumb if they used unity for their next game 🤷

I'd guess that companies that failed to turn profit when money was cheap are most likely doomed. However not all of the hype companies are like that. Some could be barely profitable, but shareholder pressure might push them to heavier monetization practices.

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.

I found steamdb.info. According to them Godot seems to be growing steadily.

During the past few years turkey has seemed to be such a pain from the western point of view, that I'm not surprised eg. EU would want to avoid depending on them for shipping goods.

Others like saudis seem just as bad, if not worse from western perspective, but they might be the least worst option on the way from asia to europe.

In many countries (incl. Finland where I live), third party charging stations are much more common than Superchargers. For example most large shopping malls have a bunch of charging stations, often above 100kW.

In this case does packaging mean packaging the silicon die to a processor or soc that can then be used? Or does it mean the assembly of the end product, such as a phone or laptop?

In either case it seems like a moot point to complain that this is a major issue for the long term. Shouldn't assembly lines for said stuff should be much easier to build in comparison to a chip fab?

Also the fact that the Arizona fab only produces a small fraction of TSMC's total output is kind of obvious. There are a lot of chip fabs, so US encouragement for domestic production has to be an ongoing effort.

My bad. You don't need a rocket to launch stuff.

I mean you could stay in space, if you were to reach escape velocity. Heat might be an issue though.

Tweaking the nuke to achieve a specific orbit might prove to be difficult. Also it's not like Blue Origin has nukes right?
