  • They are burning bridges worldwide. They may reduce their overseas bases as part of their policy as they move more isolationist. They need troops in Germany and Taiwan and Korea too, but they are burning those bridges.

    America may want us to not trade our iron and coal with China, but if it comes to an ultimatum, we likely will. America has less cards to play as a reliable partner as they become less reliable.


  • Ubiquiti is reputable and has the infrastructure to manage sensitive data from many companies. The software phones home and is cloud based for logging in and back ups etc, however its network information and settings rather than personal information. This does include data about your devices, sites visited, apps used etc. However, as a b2b rather than a consumer facing company mainly, they are not really into data mining, yet. I’ve used them for my business. It’s a bit pricy for my home needs, but I’m due an upgrade soon and will be looking at their equipment. It works well together, is both powerful and mainly intuitive.

    Any internet connecting hardware theoretically has access to all your data passing through it. So, I’d either go ubiquiti or open source. My understanding is that the open source options are playing catch up as most modern routers don’t release open drivers for their components. So, although the software is theoretically equal, practically it isn’t, but that may change with openwrt releasing a new router soon. If you need stuff now, I’d get ubiquiti.


  • We have magnitudes more trade with China than the USA. We are one of the few countries that buy more USA stuff than we sell to them. The only reason to stick with the USA would be if we trust them for defence reasons. What’s happening in Ukraine means we can’t. So it would likely be an own goal for Trump as we’d have to choose China over USA. The libs would go nuts, due to racism. We’d be objectively worse off, as an unreliable defence partner is still a partner, but if we ditched trade with China, our economy would collapse overnight.







  • Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven’t been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That’s not to say we should blame voters. That’s to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don’t prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

    History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.





  • As I mentioned, technology can mean any development. So I didn’t define it, so much as point out that a strict reading of the word is different to what people expect posts about.

    Forks and knives are also a technology, but are not relevant here. If you don’t get the nuance, or disagree, that’s fine.

    If you and others think it’s relevant, enjoy, but I’m pointing out that for others, myself included, this is spam and more appropriately posted to other communities including but not limited to Elevtic vehicles communities (about 20 exist) Enoughmuskspam Cars communities (about 20 communities)
