TikTok interim CEO invites Facebook and Instagram to support litigation against Trump ban
Steven P. and 5 others reacted to freedonX for a topic
I'm all in favor of the unban because it should happend within the Law, not some clown with power. If there is evidence it does spy, then let the law determine it's punishment, not from man with the power of a pen. That's call dictatorship6 points -

Introducing the newest PhD
NFT_QUEEN and 5 others reacted to Barney T. for a topic
Hi All, Just wanted to announce that I successfully defended my dissertation and am now a PhD in Nursing Education. Took 5 years of intense doctorate level to get it, but now I am in the world of health care research and new informatics technology. Still working in the same large level-one university hospital with all kinds of patients (including COVID-19 ones). Just wanted to share this milestone. 😊6 points -
TikTok interim CEO invites Facebook and Instagram to support litigation against Trump ban
300z and 4 others reacted to Zinomian for a topic
while I dont like TickTok at all, and feel like it is indeed a Chinese spy program (no proof at all, just my feelings), banning software or services without due process on an open and free market does worry me. That a president with a simple signature is able to shutdown access to an application for the US, is something I don't remember happening in the past, and it feels like the Chinese firewall type setting. Just don't feel right....5 points -

I would be more willing to endorse blocking it if 1) there was ever any TANGIBLE evidence that they were harvesting data. ( I mean Google somehow has issues with this like every year but we aint done anything against them) 2) we took ANY action against our own social media companies from doing the exact same thing we accuse TikTok of.5 points -

Banning the app from being used by government officials is perfectly understandable. Preventing normal people from using it is kind of an attack on democracy and freedom. Not kind ... it actually is.5 points -

Personally, I would not know a LOT of stuff that was happening at the BLM protests if not for TikTok and people recording everywhere. Even a lot of videos that the news was showing on TV were sourced from TikTok. People just associate it with "kids doing dumb stuff" because that's all they want you to think it is. There is also a lot of cool, useful content, like cooking videos, social commentary, political opinion.4 points -

Microsoft rolls out the Windows 10 October 2020 Update to the Release Preview channel
alex_d2w and 2 others reacted to +Warwagon for a topic
The one feature they SHOULD have added in the all the way back in the release 1607 or whatever the first update was, which allows you to have more than one windows 10 settings box open at a time. It's the one single thing that pisses me off about Windows 10. I'm in the Windows update window and want to go to all apps, and it uses the same window. GAH! It's just as dumb as the 7th version of Watch OS STILL not being able to sync to messages on the iPhone so when you delete an SMS message on the iPhone it deletes from the watch.3 points -

That and forcing a company to sell it's stake in the country could send the wrong message to others around the world, many countries could end up thinking, if the US can do it, so can they to US companies in their own countries, this could backfire in so many ways.3 points -

Censoring in the name of protecting people from the enemy. This whole TikTok story sounds like it was written in eastern communist Germany the DDR in the 60's. They also build a wall to protect the citizens from the evil west Germans. What the hell happened to the U.S., the land of the free? Another 4 years and this country goes strait to hell.3 points -

Betting on matches is not allowed. And hence there are no services like Ladbrokes, 888sport etc. because it is considered gambling (game of chance). Fantasy sports are considered a game of chance AND skill, and hence not gambling - I know, thin line, but that's the legal position.3 points -

How is this any different than Nickelodeon/Disney channel targeting kids with toy ads? And parental consent? If your kid is registering Facebook at age 13-17, and you don't want them on it, maybe do a better job at parenting? Google maybe, but even then if I was a parent, I'd understand the type of data collected for basically any user accessing google services.2 points -

The rumored mid-range laptop and Pro X 2 are meh for me. I could care less about crappy ARM emulation. I want a Pro 8 that brings in the design changes from the Pro X. Slimmer bezels, Thunderbolt 4/USB-C and I'm sold! I will say the mid-range laptop will a good business decision because it will allow them to bring in a bigger audience at a cheaper starting point.2 points -

Power over Ethernet question
goretsky and one other reacted to +BudMan for a topic
Cable is always going to be better And allows for POE for sure. Be it you use injector, or get a poe switch. Unless you plan on doing more than a couple camera's the added cost of poe switch for 1 or 2 cameras is prob not cost effective. If you plan on setting up quite a few camera's or other poe devices then yeah a poe switch would help with less wiring. Can give you some control over removing power from specific camera's via just switch command to remove power from them - if you need to reboot them or something. Looking at that camera (whats in box section) doesn't seem to list that it comes with an injector? And I don't see one to purchase on the accessory list? They do seem to sell power adapters for them.. It lists in specs that it uses 802.3af for POE, so make sure if you get a switch or injector to use that is what is puts out or supports. There are currently 3 main specs for poe 802.3af, at and the newer bt standard.2 points -

As to the presidential action, it's only a new authority that Congress gave him recently when they passed some legislation on China, can't remember the specific one. We can argue if he should have been given that power, as it once again shows Congress shirking their duties. For people who have a problem with the legal aspect of it, consider this..notice how no congressional Democrats or Democratic AGs have sued the administration for this?1 point -

Apple announces Apple Watch Series 6 with blood oxygen tracking, new colors, more
derekaw reacted to BigBoy for a topic
I have to say that Apple watch has been a device that I was very skeptical of, but ended up really loving. Other than the ability to do quick notification check for anything, really, and ability to talk / text with anyone without having to find my phone when at home (and I use the GPS model) - tracking of activities and all that has been really great! Oh yeah - also LOVE not having to take keys when going out for a walk because I can unlock my HomeKit enabled doors with my watch. Quick change of my AC thermostat; check the weather? It's so darn convenient!1 point
