To convert that to open services: Let me just post this on Pixelfed, send it via Telegram/Signal, upload it to (hmm, can someone help me here) and have it recompressed by Odysee/Peertube!

Xiaomi: lmao no wtf
ObviouslyNotBanana 2 points 3 years ago
Yeah I'm fine with Xiaomi having ads on their phones. When I owned one I honestly rarely ever saw them.

For real though, anyone know how that came to be?

Itβs been a bit so I may botch some of the details, but back when they were just a playing card company, the youngish CEO went to the US and toured the offices of whoever the biggest playing card manufacturer was at that time. He noticed their offices werenβt that impressive and thought, βIf we remain as a playing card company, this is our ceiling.β So he started branching out into a ton of weird unrelated businesses and video games happened to stick.
So basically thank Hoyle or whoever for having a shitty headquarters or we wouldnβt have Tears of the Kingdom.

Huge companies used to make a lot of stuff back in the golden age of capitalism. General electric was a big chemicals and plastics company for instance. It was just normal.
Nowadays, those mega-corporations make more money acting as a bank than they do selling stuff. They've just kept some product lines rolling because they're profitable and safe.
You couldn't just start a motorcycle company and be competitive against Yamaha. The specific expertise they have took decades to build, so why waste it by closing down those weird branches when they're still making money.

I ended up watching a video which was an in depth analysis of Japanese culture from pre-shogun era to modern day and they went into detail about how alot of these Japanese mega corporations started and got to the size they are now.
For reasons I'm still confused about it was titled "why we kill gods in jrpgs" but I recommend it even if you're not a gamer.

Yamaha: Would you like it to match your motorcycle?

pharmaceutical products? samsung again (though as CMOs not as name brands as far as I know)
Fangslash 9 points 3 years ago
I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.

They also apparently make a digital saxophone and compound bow (as in archery) grips.

Ich: I want some freshly ground coffee. Hey, Tchibo, do you offer this?
Tchibo: Of course! That's my primary business.
Ich: By the way, Tchibo, do you know someone who sells raincoats and underwear, but basically no other clothes?
Tchibo: Funny that you ask...

Ich: I want to get into cooking. What is some very basic recipe book for beginners?
Dr. Oetker: What about mine: Dr. Oetkers Schulkochbuch?
Ich: But I'm actually too lazy to cook. I just gonna buy some frozen pizza.
Dr. Oetker: Here you go.
