Moving away from China will be a period of disruption, to be sure. But well worth it in the long run. China is an enemy country that must be defeated. We can't do that if we're dependent on them. It's a bitter pill to wallow since this is what Trump wanted, but it's a shit sandwich and we've all got to take a bite. All of us who buy made in China because it's cheaper are at fault.

Poor choice of name. When humans set foot on Valinor their entire civilization was destroyed in a cataclysm. Why do nerds always pick the most cringe names?

No, Google was kicked out of the country and blocked. That was after the color revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia and Google was going to do one in china, too. Because of free speech. Google of all companies! A staunch defender of free speech! But they went evil despite don't be evil being their company motto and now they're the world's leading purveyor of censorship. For the same reason China was: it's a threat to government power. Sad!

Who are these savages? Name them. Our border is wide open and invaders are coming in. If that's not what a military is for, then why do we have one?

Honda had Asimo, and discontinued that. I think car manufacturers got all they could out of humanoid robots.

You've forgotten that the Trump-loving chuds dominate the military, even after Biden's purges. In the likely event of a future civil war, they are likely to turn traitor, refuse orders and side with the traitors. We already saw this with the Texas National Guard refusing and attempting to close the border in defiance of federal court order to keep it open. Robots remove them from the equation and ensure that they will be loyal to orders from DC. And just imagine how hilarious it will be to watch them getting turned into pink mist by AI-piloted A-10s. Losers in 1865, losers in 1945, losers in 2025.

They have those things because we pay for their defense. Why we pay for a continent of wealthy democracies who have nothing but withering criticism for us and who block our companies and imports is beyond me. Let's stop it and buy nice things for ourselves instead.

You're still using the Apple II's keyboard, display, memory, and disk subsystem. I have seen modern enhancements for the Apple II where essentially a Raspberry PI is plugged into the Apple II expansion slot. Sort of overkill, but the best way in modern days to cheaply implement serious upgrades for the Apple system.

The apex of misguided human technology! Why install an entire artificial intelligence into a bomb when a simple 555 timer would have worked much more reliably!

I'm sure Military grade components were used for Voyager's construction. If most Earth-bound electronics used Military grade capacitors (and were designed better), I bet they would also last 47 years.

You, sir, have well earned your place here on Slashdot!

Did we watch the same movie? I watched it years ago and it stank. People just 'like: it because of the reputation, not because it's good. Like Citizen Kane.

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world[1]

When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3]

It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

Forget Nintendo Products. I always hated Pokemon. Alright, who's with me?

Problem: Customers return merchandise too often for a refund.

Solution: Retailer throttles returns and charges a return fee based on how many returns a customer requests.

Workaround: Customers create a whole new account and identity each time they order.

New problem: Retailer is unable to track customer preferences. Recommendations are meaningless. Product reviews become completely useless. A more horrible shopping experience for everyone.
