Or it might be &#39;control over hardware interfaces&#39;. Or... ? The extent to which Apple and Valve are similar is the extent to which these two &#39;moat&#39; strategies are similar.<br/><br/>But I feel (without evidence) that they may be very different. 2025-11-15T00:41:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq88cg8fhnl760pczpnhcwjl53qx67mejn4qp6x06dgdh23zu3zgczyp6m72y66qay9pfe0rmdrnvgasdw8n46zkvnuq8hahefkmfc6z2g5djkcfk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8el7660qvazmclg8zrd794lq3wavjzjac0ragju22neg2u28pxectyglet'>nevent1q…glet</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>we were supposed to be there but decided the drive from out of town on summer tires wasn&#39;t worth the risk.
