I just want Apple Intelligence to get released for the Chinese market already! 😭

It would be difficult to ship compromised devices. Whereas the 美团 power banks all over are just domestic, & probably don’t have to face the same import/export inspections. Although Israel was able to disseminate pagers with explosives in them, so who knows. 🤷‍♂️

Use MagSafe! Don’t plug-in via USB…

Cringe, tbh.

It’s silly to think Apple would axe an entire product line only 2 months post-launch. Unless that product was only ever meant to have a single release.

It’s just a whole lot of computer that isn’t necessary anymore. &, I mean in terms of size/volume.

It’s -1 ° C here & I am absolutely miserable. I am not packed for this level of cold. 🥶 Want to trade locations? 😅

Did they specifically choose these users, though?

Another perennial debate/argument from the Fediverse. It’s primarily just ignorant ppl who have no idea what they’re talking abt making wildly insane (impossible) demands upon devs bc the extant user tools available for moderation don’t allow for total tyrannical control over the entire network yet.

I don't get this whole artificial imposition of rules on what community tools should or should not show their users. if someone wants to see posts from someone who blocked them, cool! the block feature still works as expected for the one doing the blocking!

Why does Canada need a submarine fleet?

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

> includes a sophisticated malicious power bank capable of secretly uploading data to victims’ systems

Chinese ppl love their power banks. Power banks are ubiquitous & a popular item for renting off the street. I could easily see all or many being compromised like this. Actually, v. clever tactic!

This isn’t a problem for the Western liberal, though, as the belief that the entire world should think, act, & function in ways congruent with their Western, European/European-rooted states is a core value of the ideological chauvinism.

There is just liberal/liberalism. In the US, conservative liberals will refer to more liberal liberals as “liberal” & therefore that term just gets de facto stuck to being applied to that 1 group. But, they all believe in the ideology of liberalism & espouse liberalism tenets.

Idt ATP nor any of these protocols will become mainstream enough for (a) widespread normie adoption + (b) inclusion/support by companies like ISP or mobile providers. Your friends + family won’t ever rly be on Bsky, for ex.. Or, they might for a day, & then they’ll get bored & gb2 X or Meta or smth.
