  1. As if anyone takes China seriously these days. China seems to have got the rude shock when India and US banned TikTok and they can see businesses collapse if similar bans continue. We seriously need to move out all manufacturing from China to other countries.

  2. China: U.S. ban on TikTok, WeChat is in violation of WTO rules

    Other countries have filed complaints to the WTO over the years about China and it's "lack" of trying to stop piracy, or over trademarks and a list of other stuff probably a mile long. I find the above poetic justice in a way, a taste of their own medicine to a degree. They'll probably moan about the ban for a bit but it will ultimately lead no where. At some point the ban itself will probably get dropped and TikTok will keep doing what's doing, but now running on some Oracle servers.

    And banning Google in your country ain't?

  4. I don't care what they call it, as long as they keep Rewards going. I've earned probably $400 in Amazon gift cards, and my wife about the same over the last 10 years or so since they've been doing that.

  9. Complaining about banning nå app is a bit rich coming from the home of the great firewall where pretty every Western service or website is banned... Dear China, fair trade is both ways. Also, all those rules you have about foreign companies having to "partner' with a local company and surrender their IP, that ain't exactly fair trade either.

  10. China: U.S. ban on TikTok, WeChat is in violation of WTO rules

    I was just about to ask if China is complaining about the dual-bans by India and Pakistan - or only about the US ban; if the latter, but NOT the former, why?

  11. It doesn't take long to rack them up at all. I usually just go to bing.com and click Images, then start clicking through top image searches or whatever on desktop, then pretty much the same in the mobile app. It doesn't take long. Then you do the daily sets and that racks up more throughout the week. Its a small time investment for free money 🤷‍♂️ EDIT: I just went to order history, since January 1 2020 I've earned $110 Amazon gift certificates. My wife would also be in a similar boat. Would have been probably $115-120, but sometimes I cash in on the games to see if I can win anything. SO $220+ dollars for using Bing Microsoft Bing? Yeah, I'll take it.

  15. Should try DuckDuckGo. No advertising. That is what I do use, I used to use Scroogle until it closed. duck duck go is also the one I use on my mobile as well as my computer.

  16. Yeah, same issue here. So, Google continues to add features I don't care for in YTM, rather than fixing up the issues in GPM and adding features that were in GPM. I'm already trialing alternative music platforms.

  20. Bing really is unimpressive, and at many times extremely poor at search, compared to Google. They really need to add some differentiating features to sell it(like Duckduckgo markets its privacy focus).

  22. Microsoft to invest in Greek cloud services infrastructure

    I don't see how Huawei has jack to do with the above. If Huawei wants to build some factory in the EU they'd be more than happy to let them do so. MS looking to build one or two datacenters in Greece, for Azure, has nothing to do with the government other than signing the paperwork and giving a big thanks. we don't need american datacenters, they don't respect our privacy we have OVH already Any data stored in the EU is subject to GDPR, so I really don't see what you're going on about here. Besides, OVH runs on wonderful American SuperMicro hardware. Go figure.

  24. Google defers Play Store's 30% commission on IAPs until April 2022 in India

    Because it is easier to manage by Google and app store users. Google aside it isn't something that end users will have much of a problem with. Specially if you can get lower prices on things through a 3rd party backend. At the most you will have to enter your info over, minor inconvenience to most.

  26. Google defers Play Store's 30% commission on IAPs until April 2022 in India

    I don't get why a developer should be forced to use the platform holders payment system only and are not able to use their own or a 3rd party? At least on Android you can actually have a 3rd party store if you want.

  31. Flex seal product

    I would think that would be ok. Depends on the damage really. Give it a try and see how it goes. Test it after. Flex seal is not expensive so if there are issues after, not out much.

  32. Poco X3 review: Big, bulky, and impressive

    I can deal with ads in software, as that can be easily dealt with. Better than them shipping this thing with an underpowered SoC or a worse display. Honestly, the 120Hz IPS display and NFC are the main reasons why I'm downgrading from Poco F1 to this

  35. US 2020 Election Polling - Make sure you vote no matter who!

    Uh oh. You got a letter that didn’t belong to you. Lets go ahead and cancel a tried and true system that’s been in use for decades, longer. The error rate of such things are probably pretty similar to the error rate of actual ballot counting/handling. I don’t have any actual numbers to support that, but the amount of nonsense the Trump campaign is spewing about mail in ballots is completely wrong. If there were massive irregularities, we’d have heard about them, time and time again, from both sides. If anything, mail in voting will continue to expand now that it has become such a wide spread topic, visible. It’ll be here long after Trump. It is a proven system. A reliable system.

  40. No, I guess, the game had 30FPS lock for gameplay and 24FPS for cut scenes but even the fan-made patch for 30FPS for cut scenes caused audio desynchronization. Also, I don't think this release has more treatment than adding nodvd+directX8to9converter, even x-input controllers supported only partially according to GoG.

  41. Horror classic Silent Hill 4: The Room is now available on GOG

    I'd still love to see MGS Twin Snakes ported to the Switch. It was a Nintendo only remake and is the only version to not see a release since the GameCube, but I loved being able to play in the style of MGS2.

  42. I mean, you seem to be somewhat annoyed by the changing of a default setting for a phone camera. And then calling other "snowflakes"... But hey... Not annoyed at all. It’s an observation. Thanks for playing. It's not an observation, it's an opinion with an overly dramatic stance. Suggests you're pretty annoyed by something. If anyone is annoyed, its the person dwelling and continually posting upon what they claim to know what I feel, vs. listening to me tell my intention. All I can say is....did I trigger you? LOL. You call someone out for dwelling and yet, here you still are - clearly triggered

    I think the bigger story is an RTX 3070 is basically a 2080 TI for half the price of a 2080TI. I'm sold on that.
