I think this is an area that needs clarifications in the courts, and while I'm not a lawyer, from my readings arguing performing these actions at the request of the government without being compelled to do so (by subpoena etc.) essentially renders them as "agents of the government" and their...

In before "if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear".

Try typing something about Tiananmen Square or Winnie the Pooh and see if it crashes.

If you read the article, they were able to get into a Toyota RAV4 SUV CAN bus through the headlight. Admittedly I'm not an automotive engineer but I would tend to think LIN would be reserved for non-safety-critical features. I have only limited experience interfacing with CAN bus for things...

If you just want the car for parts, and don't mind having one broken headlight and/or some minor body damage, then a prybar should be more than adequate to remove it from the outside. For instance about 20 years ago I had an aftermarket radio in my car. Someone got into the car and literally...

The difference here is that many more devices are now connected to the CAN bus. In the past, your headlights would have a simple on/off power signal controlled by the BCM. The CAN bus lines would generally only be accessible with the doors and/or hood open. Now the headlights and other things...

Are you dead set on getting 160+ fps on max settings? I am running a Radeon 6800 XT Liquid Devil (custom-loop water cooled) along with a Ryzen 5600X and I generally can max out my monitor or very close to it in most games I play (3440x1440 @ 100hz). CoD Warzone 2 I get pretty solid 90-100FPS...

Here is where we learn who didn't even look at the bill (hint: take a look at who created it) Stop making sense - only people with certain viewpoints are allowed to post them here. That said this bill is completely insane and yet another attempt by pols of a certain bent trying to wrench...

The top 2 US supercomputers are running Epyc CPUs with AMD GPUs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_(supercomputer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUMI The only questionis can it play Crysis in 4k?

Mark Cuckerberg is already giving up on the his "metaverse" after over $20 billion in investments. I doubt Square Enix can get anywhere close to Facebook / Meta is in terms of development resources.

This just popped up on my radar today. I'll refrain from any commentary, I think the news speaks for itself. https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/youtube-xijinping-02212023162711.html

I'n the past, they even went as far as to ban all videos even so much as showing a gun being fired.

One thing I think we should clarify in about discussion regarding big tech policies is the meaning of "censorship". I don't consider basic content moderation such as removing pornography or unwarranted direct personal attacks and trolling / spamming as censorship. Nor would I consider removing...

How about instead of "we will remove XYZ content" they instead do "we won't show your ads on XYZ content"? They act like there is no such thing as targeted advertising and there is no way to target as from a particular advertiser toward particular channel topics. If a company doesn't like guns...

The irony is that showing the proper maintenance and operation of a firearm is banned in the name of "gun safety". Of course like so many other things, when they say "gun safety" that's not really what they mean. Most people who have even a little knowledge of guns would think "gun safety"...

The problem here is that they don't stop at "intentionally causing harm" by speech. Even ideas that would be commonsense to the vast majority of people can result in adverse actions by these platforms. Let's say hypothetically, there are some people who claim to be attack helicopters. It is...

They can do whatever they want as long as they're following the rules. The problem is that they don't follow the rules. Especially when they are taking marching orders for which content to delete from the Feds. That makes them state actors and subject to much more stringent restrictions on...

False dichotomy and slippery-slope arguments are an easy way to try to abstract and simplify very complex issues.

There is no actual definition of "hate speech" in the US, and what is usually considered "hate speech" in other countries is protected by the first amendment in the US. Granted, the first amendment does not protect citizens against actions on private platforms unless those platforms are...

Looks like it's not the vast majority of Americans who are clamoring for censorship. As with other questions this is not a direct answer to the question we're asking, but I think a pretty good proxy for it. Some people such as hardcore libertarians who would opposed government regulations on...

Define "hate speech".

The fact that some people are so gung-ho for censorship is both depressing and terrifying. This is also a logical fallacy - lack of belief of YouTube censorship does not inherently mean support for censorship. I can't prove that YouTube has a "bad" reputation for censorship. If you can prove...

Maybe I'm wrong for just assuming that most people don't want giant mega-corporations to restrict their speech (with the exception of some who want to restrict the speech of others and get special exceptions for themselves).

It is unfortunate that only "one side" believes in free speech -- that used to be an unquestionably American value across the board, but in the past few years censorship has been pushed hard by big tech.

Thanks for proving the importance of reading and critical thinking. "Labelling posts from elected officials as misleading or inaccurate" is not outright censorship - that is attaching their editorial opinion to content. I think it's stupid when they do it and shows their bias, but if all...

Only 70%+ of polled users. But then again a Pew Research poll is a terrible source compared to an opinion piece on Utopia.org and Mighty Earth. ETA add link to poll: https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/08/19/most-americans-think-social-media-sites-censor-political-viewpoints/

I would report this personal attack but as we all know, all of us are equal but some are more equal than others. Also: "pot, kettle, black" as per the article: Refugee groups are violent criminal organizations, if they opposed the CCP. Got it. Reading is essential. Check to see if you're...

Careful -- only people with certain viewpoints are allowed to express them (and very openly) on this site, while others get the memory hole treatment. Wrongthink DoublePlusUngood™ What's a little Uyghur genocide between friends, as long as it supports the glorious revolution...

I think to be more specific, corporations do what they think will make the most money. If they always did what would objectively make the most money, no company would ever have losses or go bankrupt. Like so many things though, the decisions are difficult to make. I would also disagree that...

Supporters of censorship always seem to try to minimize it by disingenuously attacking the people who are against censorship, as a group if not as individuals. Often it is blamed on "hate speech", "bigotry", etc. but there have been a lot of questionable actions taken by big tech including...

I'm waiting for the 9999XTX3DXXX

It looks like they've taken a page from Nvidia's playbook in re-branding an existing product with little or no changes to a new-generation model number. Can't say I like that. It will be interesting how the 7x4x models will perform being they have new core architecture and new graphics.
