[–] JackGreenEarth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!

[–] norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Help is here: upload it to Picsur

[–] Cybermass@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Samsung: ok

Me: and you know I'll probably also need a testing kit for these chemicals that I purchased

Samsung: done

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or medical treatment in a hospital. Or signing up for military service and using one of their vehicles.

Or wet wipes for dogs, probably

Me: I'd love any of these things without ads

Xiaomi: lmao no wtf

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm fine with Xiaomi having ads on their phones. When I owned one I honestly rarely ever saw them.

[–] Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'd also like an industrial drone for dispersing pesticides and liquid based fertilizers.

Yamaha: Would you like it to match your motorcycle?

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

[–] Seven@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Branching- Pepsi made phones, Nintendo had love hotels ^probs^ ^not^ and taxi services, Chinese companies make many stuff etc

[–] techtalkf@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nintendo? Love Hotels? I think I missed a few chapters here.

[–] fritter@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s 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 weren’t that impressive and thought, “If we remain as a playing card company, this is our ceiling.” 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 wouldn’t have Tears of the Kingdom.

You know the sexy gamer girl cosplay thing that's going on now? That was Nintendo's idea.

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 need a good clothes washer.

Maytag: we can do that!

Nice. Where can I get some blue cheese?

Maytag: Maytag Farms

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

[–] nrezcm@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Samsung is pretty cool like that. Need a TV? Samsung does it. Need a washer dryer set? Samsung. Need artillery? Believe it or not straight to Samsung.

[–] SpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

pharmaceutical products? samsung again (though as CMOs not as name brands as far as I know)

[–] Fangslash@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year 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.

[–] manucode@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

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...

[–] Donovar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's always been funny to me is that Yamaha also seems to have the cheapest and some of the most expensive stuff too. Look at (piano) keyboards for example.

[–] jcg@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

They play all sides so they always come out on top

[–] Apollo_Refugee@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Together we can cancel Reddit

[–] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

Yamaha makes audio products: Pianos, Speaker systems, motorcycles...

[–] manucode@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Nobody here is talking about how Exxon bucked this trend and only sells oil

Exxon is a radically thinking company after all

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

[–] druge@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

They make boat motors too, for some reason...

[–] cosmicmold@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

They make earbuds too.
