New Apple aluminum Magic Keyboard introduces backlit keys & function bar
slow n easy said:I feel very confused about the title. It's not an aluminum keyboard. It has an aluminum palm rest and hinge. The title also says "introduces backlit keys" when the original Magic Keyboard also has backlit keys. As far as I can tell, the only things that seem to be different are the aluminum palm rest, function bar, and larger trackpad. I'll have to wait and see when I get it, but I don't think it's substantially different. -
ByteDance would rather shut down US TikTok than sell it
Anilu_777 said:America needs to out-compete China, not ban it like they did with Huawei and now with TikTok. They can call it what ever they want (national security or national whatever) but if US companies had a better product then Americans would use it. Sad image for the US.
The competition argument is hilarious, because the CCP has already banned all the US-based social media apps. Oops! -

ronn said:"President Biden's day-old law" has been in the works in one form or another since at least 2020 when President Trump's ill-conceived and implemented EO failed at banning TikTok. US intelligence agencies were concerned about the app since at least 2017 when The CCP implemented its National Intelligence Law compelling data-sharing with the government and imposing a gag-order on such mandated sharing.https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/tech/tiktok-data-china/index.html
And Bytedance has already spied on US journalists:
…China cannot be trusted and it’s foolish to not block their spy tools.

FCC votes to restore net neutrality protections in the United States
Without NN, ISPs can charge different websites different prices to deliver their traffic to end users.
“Net neutrality means that ISPs don’t get to speed up or slow down your web traffic based on what site you’re visiting. The FCC understood this in 2015, yet left the door open for the creation of fast lanes in their new rules.”
