Not having a functioning browser. And no, it's not Chrome. Why would you want to use an ads pushing piece of garbage?
I grew up in a third world country and one of the first gift my immigrant relatives got for my parents was a microwave oven. That was way back in the early 90s when almost nobody in my country knew what a microwave oven was. The same microwave had been going strong for more than 30 years before the buttons finally broke last year. All for around $200 back in the day.
The journalists who tried to test the range of the new byd car did take multiple breaks on the ways though. The point is that the car could do that whole trip without recharge or refuel, not that you should do that all in one sitting.
First Gen immigrant here. Credit card obtainment is itself not that hard if you already have guardians or sponsors who are willing to cosign your paperworks. If you don't even have that then it would have been impossible for you to even legally get into this sh*t hole to begin with so I have no idea why you said it was hard.
The hard part is getting a credit line as high as 100k without a stable income and high credit score. Even many US citizens I known don't even have close to that numbers in all their accounts combined fresh out of college. The conman in the post either already have rich relatives who are paying it back or must have lost even more cash withdrawn from China to bankroll his "scam"
Lastly, regardless of how you spent that money, it's still entrapped inside the US economy and thus not enrich his own country at all. Unless they bought gold or cash back to China, of course
Doesn't seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.
At this point a case need to be hundred of "b" to be more than cost of doing business for Apple. The 'm' fine are just rounding errors
Couple that with the profit optimization every one in the construction industry do means majority of the time and money spent would be on finding the way to squeeze out the most amount of money.
Do DeDRM, and yet they host their code on GitHub and have a link directly to PayPal in the README for funding? Are these guys trying to get sued?
I kinda understand the pain of those fanfic writers who sent time to write those stories. But book printing and binding for small numbers of print is really expensive. And I'm sure a lot of book lovers would love to have physical versions of their favorite works. So I am sure the situation will continue until things change in the publishing industry.
The reporter probably considered nothing less than a nuclear first strike a"loud" announcement 🤣
Whatever already existed won't be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It's like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources. However that would be peanut compared to how much they will have to pay starting from zero.
Most people I know who use Linux wouldn't trust Cloud services cause that's just storing your stuff on somebody else machine. You can self hosted service like Next cloud on a raspberry pi or just get comfortable with networking enough to setup VPN and ssh into your home computer from the net to get your stuff.
no, the desired outcome for the West is another hundred year of humiliation for China where they can carve the country up, region by region, and freely looting Chinese wealth while waxing poetically about the white man burden. The Chinese fighting back is entirely inconceivable.
with how contentious Red Hat and Canonical decisions have been lately, the mid panel should have Arch and Debian replacing Ubuntu and Fedora.
he doesn't even have the gut to post his own country name cause he knows people will tear away the farcade of bullshit of his successful social democrat country.
