  1. Sony still have a very strong high end camera sensor and lenses market. They still dominate in supplying smartphone camera units. And they still make very good quality audio products.

  2. I’m literally one of those users who switched from Android to iPhone. Watching this very video on it. Why? Apple were the only ones to create a ‘flagship’ phone that wasn’t gigantic so I could use it easily with one hand. And didn’t have any obvious issues like the software issues with the Google Pixel. The phone manufacturers can blame themselves for only catering to people with larger hands or those who want a gigantic phone. And the thing is none of their offers are actually bad. Apple Music in reality has a far better offering than Spotify for sound quality. It has also screen quality and camera quality that is up there. It is really in reality the best complete package. Yes, other Android based phones in some aspects are better, but are often significantly worse in other factors. I have zero fanboism in this. Only objective observations and backed up by objective measurements.

  3. Another great related thing to look into is how some so-called 'defensive' and 'boring, background' stocks are going BRRRRRRR as of late (e.g. Alcoa). LOL at investing in NVIDIA or shitcoins.

  4. The Windows mobile OS ‘snappiness’ still cannot be beaten, due to M$ owning the IP to that and Android and iOS not pursuing that. The Windows Mobile OS was ahead of its time

  5. What you failed to mention is that, although yes, Twitch needs to get more profitable, their older strategies got strong backlash and thus they have been smarter about monetising it more - e.g the later developments of offering quite good deals with manually running ads, that pay based on your audience, that the streamer can specify when and how much they run. The more they run the ads, the more they get paid byt that is up to the streamer to decide. This pushes people who are annoyed by the ads to subscribe to the streamer to avoid them, giving both Twitch and the streamer far more revenue from that viewer. Also Twitch will be launching a platform for all streamers to get sponsored streams directly from them. As you know being a YouTuber, you often have to navigate through these sponsorships to see if they are legit or pay well. Twitch will do this for the streamer and will help a lot of "mid tier" and below streamers who can't afford managers to do this. Not to mention likely better vetting processes. It lacks details at the moment, like Twitch's cut of it, but all this indicates a shift towards a more balanced approach while monetising Twitch more.

  6. Yep, best time to buy new Thinkpads is actually now around Jan / Feb as they clear out last year’s models. Massive discounts thus value.

  8. because it was oversold given the fundamentals and thus bargain hunting.

  9. and it was very responsive vs Android and iOS at the time as well!

  10. Yep, no bias here. I use Edge as my main browser but got it configured to use Google as the search engine. Edge is a far better browser regarding RAM usage and also has better video processing algorithms thus higher end videos look better and worse quality or worse bitrate videos will show its flaws like it should. It is tweaked and improved upon Chromium.

  11. Twitch is very top heavy as well - based on the Twitch income leaks, only around 2500 people IN THE WORLD make enough to be full time.

  12. 5:57 - "but there's just one fatal flaw with this concern" and I educationally guessed it right! God I'm good! (or just understand basic logic)

  13. My primary / elementary school was one of the first in my 350,000 city to have computers. They were Commodores with Windows 3.1 with a digitalised library system and of course before plug-and-play! As a 6-7 year old, I figured out how to program in devices (see before plug-and-play) and be a badass and issue out my own library books when I wasn’t allowed to 😂

  14. No, it depends on aspect. This isn’t the mid 2010s anymore. No one cares about Android vs Apple anymore.

  15. Even their lower end Thinkpads use higher end Samsung / Western Digital NVM-e SSDs however (depends on batch which one but both are higher end) 😂

  16. I won’t be surprised if Win10 will be over 11 as well.

  17. Also the fundamentals are not bad. Yes, revenue might be down and growth maybe stagnant, but it still has $37.43 Billion cash on hand, even after setting fire to a lot of it via the Metaverse, with a 20% net margin profit. The fundamentals are not shit. Hate the Zucc all you want, but the financials are there.

  18.  @peterfmodel  Microsoft's PE is 38 as well. Berkshire, which is in reality the Warren Buffett ETF at this point, PE is 24. PE is an important consideration, but it isn't the be all and end all.

  19. That takes precious product development time and budget though

  20. Watch Techaltar’s video on how Lenovo is structured differently thus is different from other Chinese companies

  21. We use Lenovo Thinkpads for our business laptops - they have all the things a regular office worker actually wants - super light, great quality screen, fantastic quality laptop keyboard (underrated feature) and even the small things such as a privacy shutter for the webcam and on the admin / setup side, most, if not all, of the firmware / BIOS and driver updates you can get and installs easily via Windows Update without third party software needed. And with say the X10 Carbons, they actually have very good higher end NVM-e SSDs as standard as well. They didn’t cheap out on that! And their accidental damage cover (because staff are clumsy) is dirt cheap per laptop and makes total sense on a service level agreement perspective to have it. Even their non Thinkpads are great. Our GFX design team has powerful Lenovo laptops that are better spec than my gaming rig 😂 😅😢 (jealous) That said, it is advisable to update the BIOS and other drivers with them often as it fixes a lot of bugs your BAU support team may encounter. They on a SLA value perspective, are by far the best value. Dell’s business SLA support may be the very best, but you are paying through the roof for that vs the likes of Lenovo. To others: This is why you see offices or companies using one brand of everything like monitors and laptops etc… service level agreements or SLAs

  22. The Pixel is terrible due to its constant software issues - ironic because it’s Google but that is what put me off them. I chose the iPhone from an Android for actual practical reasons - it was the only ‘flagship’ smartphone I could hold easily with one hand, I know the software won’t shit itself with an update and it does as an all round package, generally everything well without a dealbreaker of any sort. There are ways around the walled garden (e.g. iDrive is FAR cheaper than iCloud) and even then, there are things within the walled garden that are nice - Apple Music as a standalone product is much superior to Spotify in a number of ways for example.

  23.  @nelswolf  No, I do not want to get a worse spec phone. Thanks.

  24.  @nelswolf  I see that fanboism / anti-fanboism is creeping in. the iPhone 14 is literally better spec'ed objectively

  25.  @nelswolf  once again, wrong. And see the gigantic size.

  26.  @nelswolf  GSMArena states very differently. And their web browsing and video playback stats count far more regarding battery life as that is what you use your phone for more. The iPhone 14 has a noticeable advantage. Not to mention, objectively, iOS is far more efficient regarding battery life vs battery size and it drains less power when the screen is turned off. The camera quality and processing is better as well. I use real life performance measurements, not simply pure specs.
