That's absolutely not true. Bluetooth has many "profiles" which define different capabilities. Here's a list of them. These are all defined in the official bluetooth standards.

Maybe you were thinking of the "core specification" which defines the underlying protocol but doesn't define the profiles? But that's just the way they broke up the spec documents. The profiles are still official parts of bluetooth.

Apple's proprietary extensions for audio are not part of any official specification though.

A lot of larger companies like Compaq etc. were making "respectable" PCs by then and selling them in big quantities in direct competition to IBM.

C++ can do a lot of things but one thing it can't do is perform as poorly as python.

There's a reason why no-one bought IBM PS/2s. They were horrible value for money.

The real competition at the time was the thousands of other brands selling PCs. By that time IBM was plummeting in sales and other companies were selling most of the PCs. That's where 95% of the market was.

Samsung offers a lot more models so they tend to have a higher high end and a lower low end than Apple.

You just know a lot of those "Research Institute" sets ended up on scientists' desks at research institutes.

Not in reliability...

But they're probably still selling more CPUs to your average buyer who always buys Intel, doesn't read tech news and never even heard about the controversy.

Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.

Intel didn’t actually manufacture the chips.

The chips with the oxidisation issue were manufactured by Intel at their Arizona fab plant.

As someone from a not-US country, I'm always amazed at how right wing the US "liberal" policies are. If Biden was our PM he'd be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.

Celebrities get wide latitude to protect themselves from imitators. Impressionists can do "satire" etc. but this isn't that. It's explicitly a reference to her voice in the movie, and as such she's protected by law from them going around her and hiring someone else to imitate her.

It was explicitly represented as her voice when he tweeted "Her" in relation to the product, referencing a movie which she voiced. It's not a legal grey area in the US. He sank his own ship here.
