Qualcomm is one of those companies that employs five lawyers for every engineer. That works great, right up until the patents expire.

First line in TFA:
>Smartphone sales are down across the board, and that means component vendors like Qualcomm are also feeling the heat.

Apple never bought Qualcomm’s CPUs, and I don’t think they ever competed with NVidia. I think it’s just smartphone vendors are seeing a decline in sales; leading to a decline for Qualcomm.

Rampant inflation, mass layoffs, record homelessness, ever increasing credit card debt among the middle class. Most Americans are unprepared for a $400 emergency expense. This is fine, the economy is doing great. Ignore what you’re seeing and believe what the party tells you.
