The article talks about some specialist components. I assume these are ones that are high value and need special authorization to purchase. Like high-accuracy GPS chips or stuff for nuclear centrifuges etc.

Surely law enforcement can start going down the list of purchasers to see what is going on.

For consumer level stuff like Intel CPUs, or Nvidia GPUs, there probably is no real way to stop that. The volumes are just too high. But for low volume, high-value specialist components it should be possible to have some control.

They should be liable. Otherwise it just shows that US sanctions aren't really worth much.

Even the managerial boomers are starting to realize how useless AI is. The bubble bursting is not too far away now

If we are adding in FreeBSD, Android etc, might as well also add in MacOS.

How much money would Apple save if it just fired their legal teams and instead modified their policies to abide by the law?

This is just stupid. Customers who get stuck with one of these laptops will likely never buy another laptop from Dell or HP. Extremely shortsighted move

Apps should keep their files in their own directories. Spreading them across a 1000 different directories makes no sense and just make uninstall a hassle

Yeah, just like cutting smoking was going to reduce lung cancer.... right?

Sure, but on the flip side people are dying of sepsis from common infections too.

Common factors like caffeine also can cause antibiotic resistance to develop.

There is still a lot of work to be done around this topic. Knee-jerk reactions like limiting antibiotics are not going to help

NA EV sales tanked because of the price of the new vehicles. Companies assumed everyone was a crypto bro and had 100k to drop on a whim.

Currently most of the new EVs are by Hyundai and Kia, that I see on the road. The main factor being that they are cheap

This happens everywhere. Sooner or later people get fed up and fix their shit

There's Always Money In The Banana Stand!!!

There are literally dozens of us ... dozens
