actually youll find that tech companies arent profitable

also um investment banking????????????

investment banking is only made possible through the tech industry

tech companies are the apotheosis of capitalism because they reap tremendous profits from valueless activity while simultaneously exploiting and impoverishing millions all over the world

Touch ID uses an ir sensor, it does not see skin color. stop quoting and responding to stymie, idiots.

i thought it was capacitive (which would still have the same effect of not seeing skin color)

it has a capacitive ring to detect when there's a finger present. after that it's basically a camera that takes a picture of your finger.

stymie your the one confusing cause and effect. the financial sector demanding exponential growth from every part of the economy is why the tech sector (and every other sector) is so lovely. if we actually smashed capitalism/patriarchy/white supremacy, the tech sector would have quit while they were ahead with 8088s and 640 KB of memory would be enough for everyone. all the useless "buy a new computer/phone with bigger numbers and shittier software"planned obsolescence while grinding laborers into dust in the tech industry is fueled by stockholding hellfuckers. please probe me and everyone else for engaging anime dog tits

yes the tech industry, along with everything else in America, has a race problem. it's a societal problem so it pretty much affects everything in this country

though the tech industry is especially affected by this

because we still have yosposters denying the flaws in apple's tech that are directly attributable to white supremacy

you are correct that white supremacy is a problem in america, but the tech industry was literally created by nazis needing a better way to calculate how many people they killed and elevated by the us military finding more efficient ways to bomb cambodians

The character with the anthropomorphized tits in the avatar of him-who-is-not-to-be-named is a dog (or at least a wolf). This was proven via file metadata.

To be honest, I would appreciate the av more if it had six pairs of swinging tits amidships rather than human tits placed in the human location.

capital is the illness and the tech industry is one of many symptoms.
finance is basically pure capital
ergo the source problem is closer to finance than tech.
