If it only were scummy influencers and not legit content creators aswell getting cought up in **** like this

The difference is that the Uighurs have no recourse, indiginous people in the west do, because we are democratic nations and we are (at times) trying to better ourselves and right our past mistakes. Even the US have been fixing some things the past years, surprisingly, such as bail reforms. Movements such as Black Lives Matters would have been all incarcerated in China and killed. Atleast if things would've rolled that way, nvidias prices would've made some sense. I wasn't only refering to sending out spies, I'm talking about spying on the general population and invasion of privacy.

From what I can tell from Swedish court hearings, it's not only based on their chips, but also on the fact that China is a hostile nation. Having them build up even parts of a 5G network when there is a good chance that they would be literal enemies would be a security concern per definition, and would be a disruption of services that no nation would want to have. Huawei is subject to CCPs intelligence services laws. As for wether or not China is hostile? I don't know what goes on in your guys countries, but almost every year here in Sweden we've had Chinese spies been arrested for spying against Swedish companies. That our western governments are spying on us is indisputable, but atleast we can use democratic processes in the EU and for a few more weeks the US, to curtail or even stop those things. The Uighur situation is pretty well known, I'm surprised it has flown past you completely. The mistreatment of indiginous people in western countries historically and today, doesn't mean we can't **** on the CCP for doing those things actively in the present. Me and others have continually criticized governments and companies for decades for doing this kind of business, it's not a new thing. China isn't the leader in computer sciences, and while computing would've been more expensive I don't think it would have been much less fast at this stage. And that the economic gaps we have today beeing smaller is a huge thing, it is not a good thing anywhere or at any time.

Effectively they can do business asmuch as Huawei can. Please tell me that you don't consider what China is doing to the Uighur population (With aid from Huawei btw) fair or in line with modern values? Slavery, forced sterilization? As for the validity, I'm not basing this on only US security actions, but also from what others like my own government and independent journalists has said, there are more countries than the US that stopped them from doing business. While I know that the western designed electronics are just as bad with their spyware, but for now most of our governments arent the CCP. Just to be clear, I do think that the west should have stamped down hard on companies moving stuff to china ages ago, even more so since they ramped up their militarism and dictatorial leanings. Not only for cars and tech but also clothing and such. **** child labour.

They literally can't do business because their IP has been stolen and is being used by Chinese companies. One is preventing doing business over valid security concerns, the other is stealing and blackmail to stop them from doing business for profit. No, mr Sarex, I expect them to die.

The article you linked explicitly stated that Huawei could do any other business in the US, just not with government departments, the other is literally patent infringements together with threats of fines if they try to take the chinese companies to court, actually preventing foreign companies from doing business there. These things are nowhere near equal Whataboutism is never an arguement for anything

No, it's nowhere near equivalent. The US government forbids US deparments from using Huawei tech, that's hardly the same as having patent infringement be facilitated via CCP courts. I'm looking at it from the perspective of Drumph being a complete cook, surrounded by crooks and accelerationists. Just look at his comments about Canada.

https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/enforcement-and-protection/dispute-settlement/wto-dispute-settlement/wto-disputes-cases-involving-eu/wtds611-china-enforcement-intellectual-property-rights_en Summary of the case Since August 2020, Chinese courts have been issuing decisions – known as “anti-suit injunctions” – to exert pressure on EU companies with high-tech patents and to prevent them from rightfully protecting their technologies. Chinese courts also use the threat of heavy fines to deter European companies from going to foreign courts. This has left European high-tech companies at a significant disadvantage when fighting for their rights. Chinese manufacturers request these anti-suit injunctions to benefit from cheaper or even free access to European technology. The European Union has filed on 18 February 2022 a dispute settlement case against China at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for restricting EU companies from going to a foreign court to protect and use their patents. As for Tiktok, China is an enemy of the wests interests and values, the owners of the company are Chinese and as such the company must have CCP members on their board, which gives them direct access to private individuals data and atleast in the EU getting your data deleted is through our privacy laws would be pointless. I doubt anyone seriously argues that Facebook and Google doesn't collect data, but alteast the US isn't an enemy nation, for a few more weeks atleast.

No, it's really not, disregarding what some governments do for a minute, there are several instances where companies have tried to sue Chineese companies for copyright or patent infringement and have been stonewalled by the government. In the rest of the world, these things happen all the time.

I hope it goes well for him

Or just IP laws in general.

Might have been those, the place I bought mine from folded into another company and axed their website so I can't check the reciept I honestly might be misremembering the colour temperature, maybe it was 5000k, though I remember differently

I don't remember the exact name of 'em since I've had them since 2018 or so, but I know they're Osrams. My sister is out with the car at the moment, so I can't check if I still have the box they came with but they were not cheap, I think I paid 40€ for the pair. From just a 60 second google looksee it might be "nightbreakers" Edit; No, wait, I paid 40€ per bulb, so 80€

Halogens with a higher colour temperature are pretty nice, and as an added bonus doesn't have other motorists want to stab your eyes out with an icepick, and doesn't need to be replaced for inspection I've got 6000k lights in mine, and they're pretty great

There definetly are some LGB people that are openly hostile to trans people.

I'll vouch for that

2014; Gamergate. 2024; Goonergate.

But gas stoves are legal. Damn, thats more irony than said wood burning stove XD But you've got your priorities straight, that's for damn sure

*Laughs in wood burning stove*

I think they also would've done better with the 6000 series if they actually had something to say when nvidia released the 30-series. AMD was dead silent just up until release and didn't give people a reason to hold out once nvidia dropped.

I've had ATi/AMD between my TNT2 and the 3080, a X800, HD5850, HD7970, R9 Fury and Vega 64. Yes, it's true, you can see it in the very chart. They had several high points and great cards, not to mention great prices, but they never managed to get their market share back because of nvidias marketing and bull****tery (Remember tesselation and Crysis? That was fun...), they even lost marketshare to the Fermi rehash. And they certainly weren't technologically behind, they were first on dx11 as I recall. It's no wonder that they stopped competing and just tried to go for the budget market after years of having no payoff from pouring money into flagship products. That you still call AMD's cards second tier is telling, especially when you consider that the last 6000 series were quite competative in rasterization. The first time nvidia actually took a leap was with real time RT, upscaling and frame gen are great ways to make their cards look even better than they actually are, if you want bleary, smudgy and artifacting graphics that is.

Because no matter what ATi/AMD did, people bought nvidias cards instead, leading to a massively ****ed up market. When AMD finally had cought up on performance, they didn't care about trying to price things right, because they probably rightly assumed that that would possibly lead to nvidia lowering prices, which would lead to people again buying nvidias stuff. So why not price high? And add in bitcoin and now AI bull**** and there's a nice bed that we've made for ourselves.

I would've been interested if it wasn't for them switching to Unreal engine, Stalker 2 was all UE I could handle, **** that ****. **** TAA.
