Let's not forget that mega corpos benefit heavily from government subsidized R&D in universities, insert themselves within the R&D and claim innovation as their own.

Tech is built on FOSS and private corporations act like they invented butter.

It's both.

But companies like Meta profit from harm they do to the population and should be reigned in.

One of the biggest lie to keep the current system in place.

Private corporations parasite themselves into R&D paid for by the government and act like they invented the fire again.

The Internet is built on FOSS and got captured to be sold back to us.

Capitalism breeds innovation just like people leave their partner when they finally have enough to be abused.

It's probably made in the same factory, but there is more QA in the chain (normally/I hope) and then the batteries have multiple middlemen taking a cut with IFixit adding their profit margin on top of every middlemen costs.

100% accurate results!

I didn't realize it was CS surf haha. That's pretty cool.

I know that surfing can get pretty technical fast. Thanks for answering.

Tell me more about KSF

It isn't a bad thing though, especially compared to what serching the internet has become.

The US is currently having some concentration camps and ICE literally kidnapping people on the street and no 2nd amendment nut is doing shit.

So shut the fuck up with your dumb rhetoric.

Capitalists wet dream is to make more money without investing any new capital. Chip fabs are in a situation like that where they can make buttload more money without changing anything except charging more.

Nothing will change because the alternative is investing billions just to keep the price down. They'd rather pocket the billions now.

Depends on how it's done. If they have to make schematics and binaries available, it's different than having to provide parts at whatever cost they'd like.

Spez made his money, he doesn't give a fuck anymore.

He's milking the cow as much as he can before butchering its corpse.
