ByteDance would rather shut down US TikTok than sell it
This has zilch to do with “better products”, and everything to do with spyware that’s already being abused by the CCP.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!

And have used it — CCP used TikTok spied on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong: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.”

Trade off in all things. Carrier freedom to discriminate packets based on customer tier means less consumer freedom elsewhere.neillwd said:More government more censorship less freedom.

Apple wants to make grooved keys to stop nasty finger oil transfer to MacBook Pro screens
No reason to believe those assumptions weren't also the first they thought of, and if there is continued research this is more to it than one who is not building prototypes would believe.9secondkox2 said:No grooved keys please. Ugly and harder to clean.All the groves do is trap finger oil, skin cells, and dust, which get stuck in there and the buildup defeats the purpose to begin with. Then it’s a pain to get it truly clean.No thanks. Please let this just be an idea someone had that goes nowhere.
