This is a similar situation to mine. I tried running Linux on my work laptop, ran into too many issues that made it unreliable. Especially during business trips, when I really needed my laptop to work.

Not to mention that I still needed to use business tools that are only available on Windows. Redacting and signing PDFs in Acrobat, creating images for Windows machines (I’m also the IT department), Autodesk software, etc.

Windows + WSL allows me to get the best of both worlds, with all my Linux apps running alongside my Windows ones on the same hypervisor. I just wish they would support PCI device passthrough, as part of my job involves writing and debugging kernel drivers for some custom FPGA accelerators.

I mean, yeah. Reddit is so big that they don’t give a shit whether you use the platform or not. They can continue falsely banning thousands of people each day because their user base is so big that those lost users wouldn’t even be a rounding error.

Stop patronizing places that don’t give a shit about you beyond how much they can sell your data for.

They just built a massive chip fab outside Phoenix so there’s clearly some US-based division the government has jurisdiction over.

They work great in parking lots.

Have you ever visited an Asian country?

For real, the only hard drives I’ve ever had fail on me were Seagates.

Correct, but that doesn’t mean TikTok would be inaccessible if they didn’t have servers in the US. My point is that the federal government doesn’t have the ability to completely limit access to a foreign website. It would be very slow and they’d lose users, sure, but they could keep running as usual from outside the US and still remain accessible to people inside the US.

They cannot take down a domain registered with a registry and registrar outside their jurisdiction. They could try and compel domestic DNS providers to block queries for that domain, but there are numerous providers who are unlikely to comply with that request on grounds of the 1st amendment.

Given that the OP is about TikTok (a foreign website) being blocked in the United States, your point has limited relevance here. Further, if the website was hosted stateside they could just physically seize the servers themselves.

I said “currently”. Sure, the US could pass legislation that would require ISPs to implement that ability. I said they do not currently have that ability, and you seem to be disagreeing because it is hypothetically possible for the US to build its own great firewall. I do not want to assume your intentions but it appears you may have misinterpreted my message.

What I said is still correct. The point of my comment was that the US should not pass legislation to build a great firewall.

And that’s all it should be. Currently, the US government does not have the facilities to block traffic to specific websites or IP addresses on a country-wide basis. We don’t have a “great firewall” the way China does, and we should keep it that way.

Given that it took Asus months to even acknowledge the SD card issues on the original Ally, they don’t hold very much goodwill imo

Wow, that is certainly a take.

These changes only affect the Fleet API. TeslaFi is fine for now.

Ah yes, Vivendi games. The same publisher that tried to put Valve out of business for having the audacity to want money for Counter-Strike. I’m shocked.

Okay? You can spend your day getting worked up over the mere sight of a Tesla, but I’m not sure how that affects anyone else but you.

Other manufacturers can use Tesla chargers now, and many times those are the best options on long road trips. This doesn’t really change anything. I can also choose to charge my Tesla at non-Tesla chargers and accomplish the same goal.

what?? They just scanned my drivers license when I went. Was there an option not to use it? That would probably make me walk out and rent from somewhere else.
