Whatever the real motivations might be, this is deeply irresponsible. I hope it turns out to violate the state constitution or some similarly strong law, and gets rejected.

To know what features people are using, how fast it’s running, know what hardware and where it’s being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues?
None of those things are what’s being discussed here, or what GP asked about. As stated in the article, this is about categorizing people’s searches.
Is there a good reason for people who have played the sequel to then play the original? I’ve only played RDR for a dozen or so hours. I liked that the NPCs weren’t hyper-aggro like many are in RDR2, and the UI was less annoying, but the world and gameplay felt kind of lackluster and repetitive. Maybe getting the earlier part of the story makes it worthwhile?
They might be used as excuses by a complacent industry, but they are not just excuses. They are also valid reasons for concern, and would still be so even if not used as talking points for Detroit lobbyists.
US auto industry is enjoying significant protectionism right now
Regardless of that, China’s government has spent more than a few years subsidizing products and services in order to make their exports dirt cheap abroad, eventually making other nations dependent on them. (See also: the Belt and Road Initiative.) This fits the same pattern, and would still be a problem even if US auto industry protectionism didn’t exist.
US auto industry and especially EVs are horrible with surveillance right now.
Agreed, but once again, that doesn’t invalidate the problem that I mentioned. A foreign adversary having deep, real-time access to the nation’s infrastructure, traffic patterns, sensitive information revealed through conversations and cameras, etc. is a larger problem than the personal privacy issues that already exist domestically.
Chinese surveillance devices aren’t doing anything different from anyone else: they’re all violating our privacy and we have no protection.
The difference lies in where the collected information goes. That might not matter to some people on a personal level, but on a national scale, handing all that info to an adversary nation is cause for concern.
everyone’s suffering so much from inflation that they’ll go ahead
That, along with a bloated auto industry and terribly underdeveloped public transit. Here’s hoping this turn of events will lead to real progress in fixing these problems.
Hello, i was looking for a wysiwyg html editors i could use for my personal website, perferrably just as a simple open source desktop program on linux (though anything else is fine). i DID find something called KompoZer but i was wondering if there’s any other ones, thanks
I just started it and am having a similar experience, right down to getting hit by cars. At least, I assume they were all cars. Last time I was suddenly knocked off my feet was on the sidewalk, and when I finally regained control of my character, there was no vehicle driving away from me. It could have been a goat fitted with optical camo for all I know.
I have a 1TB harddrive on my desktop computer that isn’t doing much of anything, so I’d like to dual-boot something “interesting”. Suggestions are greatly appreciated, so let me know what y’all find intriguing/interesting/frustrating/innovative....
On the other hand, many of the things packaged in plastic also degrade, and might be fine for their safe shelf life in either biodegradable plastic or a container with that type of lining. Other liquids could be packaged in glass.
Recommendations are difficult, because reliability varies from model to model (even within the same brand) and there is no useful data until a model is more than a few years old. What we can do is follow the data available from an independent source with large sample sizes:
Petition the KDE maintainers to make it work like all the other KDE Background Services, rather than the ridiculous current approach of launching it at session start (whether the user wants it or not) and allowing systemd to automatically re-launch it (also against the user’s wishes).
My only concern is that having different laws for each state may make it hard for companies to comply and it may even lead to “location locked” devices.
Given how difficult it is to pass consumer protection laws without lots of loopholes, it’s possible that the different laws in each region could work to our advantage: A corporation might sensibly decide to observe all the protections globally, rather than exploiting regional exceptions and loopholes, making the patchwork of laws act almost like a whole blanket. That wouldn’t be legally enforced, of course, but it would be better than nothing.
In principle, all these state laws could also inform creation of a single, more comprehensive federal law. Here’s hoping.
