Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

Let’s see how much longer, their economy is slowing down significantly, with a lot of international companies withdrawing their manufacturing sites partially or altogether. Even more drastic for IT and other R&D entities that can basically shut down and relocate without moving tons of physical assets around.
Just yesterday IBM shut down their Chinese operations entirely, with more than 30,000 employees across the country effectively out of jobs over night. They announced to move it all to India.
Many manufacturers that target the US are moving to Mexico thanks to the reduced tariffs and customs and shorter supply routes, EU manufacturers are going to Romania and Bulgaria for the same reasons now that they’ve joined the EU (a while ago, but relocating factories takes years).
Manufacturers of cheaper goods and components are increasingly moving to the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand, where labour costs are a fraction of what China is now - they grew too fast too quick.
I’ve just left China for Malaysia myself (also in the manufacturing business), and many of my associates have done as well or are planning to do so in the next 6-24 months.
China played “too big to fail” and is now learning a harsh lesson, on top of their failed real estate industry that wiped out a third of the GDP, with banks yet to follow. The big awakening will come soon, and I bet people won’t overlook their international transgressions any longer.
Tinywall is great and free.
If I were an exec at Google, I’d have already made a move to buy out a small country. Tuvalu, Nauru or something with a minuscule GDP. Then proclaim the Google Republic, move HQ functions over, and be free of taxes and outside influences forever.
And being their own country, they could even have a full fledged military…
I think the lite versions don’t allow scripted blocking, only static or something. So a whole lot of the adaptive blocks for persistent ads you encounter on facebook, instagram and other shitty socials that behave like viruses will be hard to impossible to kill.
I’m glad I never had to deal with that as I have never used Chrome on desktop, but I’m pretty sure there will be many folks out there who don’t know how to switch.
Yep. In Germany for example we don’t name perpetrators at all, neither alleged nor convicted. Newspapers are not allowed to refer to them with anything but the first name plus first letter of the last name, or initials. The only exception is when someone dangerous is on the run and they need help from the public to ID him, in that case the name is released after an ethical review board from the police force decides so (it’s mostly done on the spot without delay, but there is a procedure at the very least).
A general exception is made for persons of interest, be it celebrities, politicians or something. For general members of the public, nothing truly identifiable is released. Minors (generally below the age of 18, or people tried as minors, i.e. committed a crime while below 18 but only tried later) will not be named whatsoever; only their age and gender are released.
Race is never mentioned, unless it is a race-related hate crime.
I live in Malaysia (previously China) and have been using HK and Singapore pretty much ever since, with no issues for ~6 years.
That would put me in a bit of a pickle, my last floppy drive went out of business sometime in the mid 2000’s. As soon as bootable USB sticks for recovery became viable, don’t exactly know when. But in my last 2 desktop computers I doubt I used the floppy drive once… Built them in mostly out of nostalgia. Or habit maybe.
I own both, but on a set of 3.5" floppies somewhere in my dad’s basement. If they even still work… Doubt I’ll be able to claim my copy somehow.
Is it really so hard to spell out Venezuela?
What does being out often has to do with drinking? I go out by myself every now and then and do just fine with coffee and water.
Nah I think that would be a bit too much. After all OP was able to use the software just fine up until now.
Escalate it to the EU consumer watchdog, they got some real teeth.

Assuming you bought the Italian version because you’re living in Italy.
Best case, you get your money back.
That depends on your local laws. We don’t know where you live.
Any specific issue you have with Instander? It’s working perfectly fine for me. Only if people post to their story it takes a few minutes to show.
I watch movies and series once, and keep them on my hard drive until I’m running out of space, then delete from the oldest to newest. Music I’ll consume very regularly.
Not amazingly fast, but still quite a bit better indeed. Give it a try, to don’t need to uninstall outlook to do that after all.
The new outlook is utter garbage. It was in fact so bad that I uninstalled it and now use it through the web front-end only. And I’m doing that in Edge - as the only website this browser is allowed to open (asides from Teams, where the software is just as terrible).
If they call it a success that no more people are complaining because they just gave up, then, congrats… I guess?
Sounds familiar, only that we went for some bottom shelf vodka. I believe I was 21, was at the very end of my bachelor’s degree. Probably around July/August 2005.
Uh… And how would they do that?
It’s not like starlink publishes a list of all their customers, and you can’t simply pick up the signal.
And shooting down satellites in a geospatial orbit? Good luck.
