Would PRC leadership's actions be an acceptable thing, or are Chinese Communist Party apparatchiks just being evil anti-Chinese Westerners when they made the new rules starting January 2026 for EV export licensing?

Google this from your favorite news agency. CCP has specifically decided to tighten licensing because of utterly horrible quality problems with exported vehicles. They even have a name for it to pretend it's not a widespread problem: "rogue exporters".

That's the worst of the lot, the ones that export China spec cars (no rust protection, very limited safety features, parts often missing entirely) because there's a massive surplus of them. Official CCP narrative is that "this is all there is to it, everything else is best in the world, China Numbah Wan". Meanwhile internal CCP messaging is "BYD, SAIC, et al, fix your shit because our reputation is in the toilet because of your excesses".

Because massive quality control problems also persist for official exports, far in excess of their typical competitors that are German EVs. Which in themselves are fucking awful compared to the industry leader Tesla.

If you're not trolling and genuinely know nothing on the subject, googling something among the lines of "chinese cars having quality problems in PRC" should generate quite a few stories on the subject, including reporting on official stance of the Communist Party itself. Which is also a warning to the trolls. Are you sure you want to suggest that top Party leadership is wrong on this subject?

Suno's previous iterations are behind multiple top sellers on Spotify already. And basically all artists except a handful of irrelevant hipster ones use AI assist at this point. It removes almost all of the menial parts of work.

At this point, it's like masturbation. There are two kinds of artists. Those who use AI assist, and those who lie about it. And then there's that tiny group of religious weirdos standing on the corner screaming that you're going to hell for doing it. Ok boomer.

The only difference at this point is model used and scale of the assist. Suno v5 is pretty much gold standard at this point.

And no, artists don't have copyright of derivative works. Otherwise all artists today would be paying massive royalties to those that came before them.

It's funny how people pushing this angle aren't hunting bison for blood and collecting plants to make their own paints.

Apparently some level of automation and outsourcing is fine, but they are the judges of how much is allowed before it becomes bad. Everyone else is wrong.

Oh Chinese top tier EVs are great at point of sale.

Problems don't start showing until several months down the line for most things being promised. And the problems that cause people to really not like them back in PRC and only buy them at massive discount vis a vis Tesla, like the infamous lack of galvanic rust protection don't become noticeable until a few years of ownership.

Well beyond what "car reviewers" will review. This is the stuff you go to mechanics and engineers for.

Without knowing precisely how Explorer is structured, it's conceivable that there may be different dynamically-linked libraries and/or execution points for running the desktop and for the file explorer, in which case just having explorer.exe running in and of itself doesn't mean that new modules have to be loaded if explorer.exe process fires up. The solution could very well be to load the libraries involved in file browsing when the desktop opens.

Just guessing here. There was a time when there was a lot more horsepower required for GUI elements than folder browsing, but this is 2025, and explorer.exe probably uses orders of a magnitude more resources now than it did in 1995, because... well, who knows really. Probably to sell more ads and load up more data to their AI.

That, on modern hardware, they have to preload a fucking file browser so that it pops up faster is just an indication of what a steaming pile of garbage MS is. They had sweet spots with Win2k-WinXP and with Win7, but their incoherent need to be a whole bunch of contradictory things --- with AI! has led what was a rather iffy OS and UI experience to begin with to become a cluster fuck of incoherence.

I do most of my day to day work on MacOS and Gnome, and fortunately the Terminal services version I have to RDP into is Server 2016, but every time I have to work with Windows 11 I'm just stunned by just how awful it looks and how badly it behaves.

Nothing fucking happened, BlueAnon clown.

So he was there.

Who said he wasn't?

It's on video, loser McCarthyite sucker of Satan's cock.

It's not really, but it adds to the squeeze in the moment, as 50% momentary increased ingestion of specific component type by a large demand generator on the market already squeezed by rapid dislocation of relationship between supply on demand dislocates the point of balance further.

Wait until you remind yourself of intel and its RDRAM adventure in pentium 4 generation.

Q Shaman. Not only walked around peacefully, but was escorted by cops who thanked them for doing their jobs. Vast. Majority. Were. Entirely. Peacful.

Which is why many of them were literally charged with "illegal parading", BlueAnon clown. Now do the The Great Liberal Insurrection that happened years earlier without participants being smeared as seditionists or sent to years for prison, including people who weren't even there.

As always, your cope, your seethe, your trash NAFO propaganda, McCarthyite sucker of Satan's cock.

You're gonna eat a bigger bowl of shit over this than Iraq and Afghanistan, which you also lost, but because Russia has been kicking your ass for the entire war.

Badly.

The capacity of the government of a large jurisdiction like California, or more particularly the US, could bankrupt someone like Musk, so I say, bring it on. Within a decade Musk would have abandoned all efforts, or, even better, be stone cold broke (frankly billionaires shouldn't exist at all, and we should tax the living fuck out of them down to their last $200 million).

We're too afraid of these modern day Bond villains when we should be aiming every financial, and probably every real, cannon straight at them and putting them in a sense of mortal danger every minute of their waking lives, so that they literally piss themselves in terror at the though that "we the people" might decide to wipe them out for good.
