And I doubt Xiaomi will ever be trusted outside of China - even if there is were no actual fair reason not to. But there is.

You could use it to black mail people, up until such time as the tech is widespread, known, and detectable by average citizens. Photoshoping credible static images takes a lot of skill.

When you love making games and them being enjoyed by the most people possible, why are you surprised sustainability and non-exclusivity wouldn't be desirable ?

One component of the scientific basis for that advice is shown insufficient. There are other good reasons for that advice such as ethical or ecological. (Note I happily eat meat, just wish others did it less so I could have more with less impact)

Um no, the force is related to the difference, not absolute pressure. 250 PSI tube in 250 PSI atmosphere makes no force on the pipe. Here the difference is between 1 and say 0.00001 for vacuum. You can expect fantastic damage ; especially because it's nearly impossible to compartmentalise sections.
