Jakarta is seeking to boost investment from foreign tech companies with restrictive measures that require their phones to be 40 per cent sourced from parts in Indonesia.

I'm not surprised the Corsair is better - it looks like there's a whole nvme drive in there.
What’s that number in words?
Per the article, it's 20 decillion.
Last time someone did that it triggered a conflict between Serbia and Albania!

It's a core part of their advertising offerings. https://www.facebook.com/business/goals/retargeting
Except you can add a tracking pixel to the destination website after people click through on the ad, which correlates to people's individual profile. To say that isn't "handing out personal information to others" is sophistry of the highest order.

Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?
Blackmail is a terrible way to attract investment to your country. This is like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter after he told them to fuck off.
