Lol I agree. The value is horrendous when you spec one of their products to have decent storage/ram, but nevertheless can't fault the speed of their ARM chips.

I have no source, but I remember seeing a graph of where iPhones sell and places like China/India were 80% android phones (mostly Samsung I think).

I don't think the asian marketplace puts Apple products in such high regard as the US.

Samsung phones are still premium, I think they appeal more in other countries.

I see what you mean though with 20% of just China being almost the US population, but they are still losing 300m customers.

Hehe that is funny, sadly I think the US is Apples biggest market, so they probably wouldn't want to let go and give up any marketshare.

US usually is the most important market for most (international) companies I believe.

underpowered trash

I hate to say it, but it's actually quite powerful trash that they produce.

Yeah, the numbers are different everywhere, but mosquitoes cause at least 50% of that million.

Not to mention that all that car infrastructure is bankrupting US cities/towns (maybe places outside the US too, but I wouldn't know).

That's why if you put several electric cars connected in a row, place them on tracks, externalize the power source, and you get the most efficient way of travelling - trains.

Sounds right when said like that, but I think very important factors are missing in that comparison. Maily: energy used per person & space used per person.

Most cars on the road are only transporting one person (the driver), which leaves a lot of wasted space. Trains on the other hand can carry way more people than cars can when using the space amount of space.

I don't know energy used per passenger but it's certainly less for train vs car (when both running on renewable energy).

Apparently (I think C02 emissions should give us the same idea if we assume both use clean energy): Eurostar: 6g CO2e per passenger km Electric Car: 53g (one passenger) CO2e per passenger km (or 13g with 4 passengers)

Don't think a lot of trains are as clean as the eurostar worldwide but it's possible to be that clean.

Theres many more benefits to trains too such as: You don't have to drive (browse lemmy while travelling), cheaper, 20x safer, a good train system can save you time, less waste (when your car eventually is scrapped, I'm sure a lot if recycled, but must still be a lot of waste, including energy spent recycling). Probably a lot of other stuff too.

p.s. sorry if i am wrong about stuff im trying to be right ;()

There's probably a balance somewhere. When it's that hot, you can sweat walking, but sweat only a little more when biking calmly because you get an extra breeze while doing so.

I'm not a smart person though, maybe theres a place on earth where you wouldn't feel any breeze while biking.

Might be less of a difference than we would think since every shared car would presumably become multiple bikes.

Eg: Family of 4 that have 1 car, turns into 4 bikes?

Of course big oil wouldn't like that very much. Screw you big oil, you are a turd.

you are in luck we have the answer: https://youtu.be/aIIBBj6KR-Y

Maybe it'll be fun enough that we'll simply forget to explore it's depths YAY

fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.

Of course, I run EndeavourOS. My guess is that nowadays it doesn't matter if you run amd or nvidia (likely won't run into problems with either).
