    Biden posted a tweet about how he talked to President Xi Jinping about US/China relations and other world issues. Im not sure if he did that before or after he forgot where he was.........

     

    At this point its getting comical. We cant put the AI back in the box and really all these restrictions do is slow down the inevitable.

    It's not like he owns the world

  2. Too small of an audience target. Add the fact they never attracted major investors meant they were doomed from the start.

     

    Kick and Bilibili are still viable alternatives to youtube and twitch (niconico is poorly optimized for personal streaming, if ever) if you want to stream in an unfamiliar enviroment.

     

    And before you ask, no, hololive isn't banned on bilibili, they've been Streaming HoloFes5 at the same price as other sites.

    That's the great thing about freedom of choice. You can choose not to use TikTok and avoid any brain damage. Also I feel like just having legislation against companies collecting a bunch of info from users would have been a better option than a ban because clearly if they cared about security they would be worried about all companies that collect a massive amount of data on users rather than this one company specifically. 

    No because if they enforce a general privacy law like GDPR it would kill a lot of companies in the states that deals with personal data. That would cause more harm to the american tech industry than it is to the chinese.

    You know the spoon, fork and knife you use to eat food are harmful if consumed right?

    You know eating metal, plastic, styrofoam cups are harmful if consumed right?

     

    The little solder pellet in the non-accessible part of the vacuum bottle is not the dangerous thing here.

    No because the cup does not have a "do not use if vaccum seal is broken" sticker and people will get poisoning from having the solder leaking from the broken base.

    good

    china doesnt let any foreign company operate in their border without having a party member check everything they do, why should any other country leave chinese company act freely?

    good on the US, hopefully the same happens for every other chinese based corporation in more places around the world

     

    A true pot and kettle situation.

    My thoughts

    I will not be sad if TikTok is removed from the US. I am not sure what specifically the CCP are doing with the data they are presumably taking from the US. Honestly though tiktok is one of the most toxic platforms there is but I think that there is not any better alternative. But at least china won't have my data anymore?

    Perhaps the whole time it's for marketing purpose? It's not like any military would be stupid enough to leak their sensitive data into open internet.

     

    Also, considering this is isn't "ban tiktok" bill but a "ban any website that is from an US enemy" I imagine VK, Yandex and even telegram would be next on the chopping block.

    no you don't. if it "leaves" america just use vpn, its the internet ffs lmao.

    Never in my life I would imagine the US to build their own great firewall.

    Funfact: some American government websites such as the US census are already geoblocked.

    Can I watch "Avatar: The Way of the Water" (and other Disney+ HFR 3D releases in the future) in 4K 48fps 3D on the Pimax?

    Since the Pimax is not stand-alone, am I supposed to carry a whole PC on a plane or even to my back porch to use it?

    No? Mini-handheld PCs have plenty enough to drive those external displays.

    Why? 
    Do they not strictly follow editorial standards and regularly correct themselves?

    They should not be used as a source because of circular sourcing, not because wiki is wrong

    It's supposed to follow editorial standards but different languages of Wikipedia (especially Chinese and Japanese) have different standards, especially reliable sources for politically related articles.
