I could take what you wrote and apply it to the Baby Boomers just as easily with their lack of empathy and their parents and grandparents thought the same of them.

Or Gen X who went "MeMeMe" this past election.

Every older generation thinks the newer ones suck, this isn't new or really grounded in reality.

Also I've seen plenty of parents or people who have had kids that lack empathy and sympathy just as much. It's not a miracle "become a good person pill". I mean how many deadbeat or piece of shit parents exist out there?

China has domestic hardware for government computers.

For example, they have multiple domestic CPU designs. RISC-V, ARM, MIPS, and even some licensed AMD Epyc cores with the random number generators replaced by domestic designs.

Richard Stalman used to have one of the MIPS CPUs IIRC, until it got stolen. Reason being that it was the freest laptop available at the time, running almost entirely open source software.

Submission + - Battery fires at recycling centres are costing UK £1bn a year, figures sho (theguardian.com)

AmiMoJo writes: Fires at recycling centres caused by wrongly discarded lithium batteries such as those found in vapes are occurring at the rate of more than 10 a week, according to new figures.

Experts say the sheer volume of battery fires now occurring at waste facilities has reached a crisis that is putting lives at risk, costing £1bn a year and frustrating fire chiefs.

In figures shared with the Guardian, the Environment Services Association (ESA), the trade body for waste management companies, said its members had reported 1,518 fires in the year to March 2026. At least 541 of these fires were directly attributed to lithium ion batteries, the survey found. There were a further 216 battery fires in bin lorries.

Cloning the data won't help. The data on any half decent phone is encrypted. The encryption key is kept insecure a secure memory, which requires the password to unlock.

When you use the duress password, it doesn't overwrite the data on the flash memory, instead that key is wiped. The secure memory has an integrated processor that generates a new key.

Merely having a copy of the data is useless, because unless there is a flaw in the key generation there is no way you can decrypt it. If there is a flaw, a mere border agent probably isn't going to have access to that information, it's the sort of thing that the NSA keeps to itself.
