Yes, that is exactly how our home toilets work. Many commercial toilets are tankless and rely on water pressure to operate, but I doubt that’s what’s being discussed here.

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

Well yeah, how are we going to get rich if we aren’t taking money from 5 year olds?

They work great in parking lots.

The car is still completely functional without an internet connection. You could just disconnect the cellular antenna and drive perfectly fine forever (just without ever getting software updates, traffic and map updates, and being able to use music apps in the car).

Have you ever visited an Asian country?

I love Mlem. The iOS native design reminds me of Apollo.

I’d love to see the article but unfortunately the site is unusable with full-page ads and popups the moment you open the page.

Everyone in the UK* less safe. AFAIK, the data encryption feature was only disabled for UK users.

Here’s a higher res version

Not sure what jurisdiction you are referring to (and I didn’t see the unblurred plate so idk where this is), but I have looked up the owners of several vehicles just from their plate number in the United States.

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

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.

You don’t hear the road names when your GPS tells you where to turn? I’m shocked by how many people are unfamiliar with major roads in their city. I’ve met people who couldn’t even tell me what crossroads they lived at. To me, part of learning to drive meant making a note of the road names near me so I was familiar with locations based on road names.

I’m not old either, I’m in my early 20s.

I think the idea of the government banning entire websites (or really any information in general) is horrifying. The fact that so many people in America seem to be enthusiastic or at least indifferent to new forms of government censorship shows how far along we are to complete fascism. Information is meant to be free, regardless of whether you agree with it or not. The fact that’s we’re having these conversations is disgusting.

We already have floating nuclear power plants and we’ve never had an issue with one (in the US at least). Look at any modern aircraft carrier or naval submarine. Many of them are able to be connected to shore and power nearby buildings in emergencies.

American here. Lots of us don’t want to be over there either. Seeing our tax dollars literally set on fire on the other side of the world pisses us off.
