The main win is banning a content recommendation algorithm that is influenced by the CCP. A secondary win is reducing consumption of short form content. A tertiary win is eliminating that God awful narrator voice.
There’s no valid 1st amendment argument here. This doesn’t ban American voices, that can continue to be shared on alternative platforms, it bans the CCP Government’s propaganda inserting itself in American media consumption.
Ukraine will continue to fight for what is rightfully theirs. They’ve done an outstanding job so far, and it’s really highlighted the decline of Russian influence on the world stage. Russia is nothing more than a petrodollar fueled aggressor.
When the Taiwanese people democratically declare they want to become part of China. I don’t see the US sending military aid to China as long as their claims to the South China Sea don’t respect international maritime law. I’d also imagine respecting intellectual property rights is a concern, in addition to China’s genocidal actions towards the Uyghurs.
The Donbass and Crimea are currently occupied by Russia, there’s never been any Ukrainian held election allowing for the secession of this territory. These regions are not self governing entities that can make this determination. With all due respect, you seem a bit dull, so I’ll just leave it at that.
I’m not sure an outright ban is justified, nor necessary. Maybe disallow copyright on AI generated material? That’d be a step in the right direction at first glance. I’d like to hear any counters to this stance.
About a month ago my neighbor left a nice looking TV out by the trash for bulk item pickup with a note saying, “not sure if this works, but free if you want it.” Cosmetically the unit looked to be in good shape, but sure enough when I bring it inside to test, none of the HDMI ports would pick up a signal. I tried different HDMI cables and devices to double check. All of the TV menus would work and there was static on the cable channel, so I knew the pixels themselves were fine. I opened the unit up to find 3 separate circutboards inside, a main board (with the HDMI ports soldered on), a power board, and I think a timing board or something like that (forget the acronym I came across researching). Well I decided to roll the dice and replace the main board with a $130 purchase for a replacement, took about 30 minutes to swap out. Sure enough with a new main board the TV, HDMI units and all, worked perfectly. Now I’m up a 60" Sharp AQUOS TV (~$1500 new) for the price of the replacement board. More importantly, the satisfaction of plugging in an HDMI and seeing a signal come through was priceless. Support right to repair, we have an obligation to preserving and reusing the resources we have access to.
I’m with you on this. I feel like manufacturers still feel like people are wanting to make a statement by making EVs look like their suited for spaceflight. I’d rather have near similar looking models to what we’ve already got with the combustion engine, with aerodynamic considerations for efficiency baked in.
