Any announcement about the $1000 monitor stand?

This is good news, but it also shows we need to keep up pressure to build high capacity 7nm chip fabs here in the states.

Apple’s preferred method of manufacturing (based on the Foxconn model) is to use Asian children because they have tiny hands.

They’re much too young to vote

Won't have any practical impact on Austin voting outcomes at all, Austin is already blue.

May not be moving people here at all, they are already here:

"Apple Inc. said Monday it will keep manufacturing its Mac Pro computers in Austin, after the company received exemptions from some proposed federal tariffs.

The tech giant’s announcement comes three months after the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple planned to move Mac Pro manufacturing to China."

That’s news, who knew Apple had a manufacturing facility here? I sure didn’t.

Assembled in Texas from parts made in China, I'm sure.

West Coasters are probably too good for jobs like that.
