There is a difference between “Nvidia isn’t selling cards to China” and “nobody in China has an Nvidia card”.

Plenty of stock would be going to China, just not directly.

They are still a shitty regime, but I do like the way they are standing up to the US.

If this war does nothing else, it confirms that the west was full of shit saying that Iran had nukes.

Of course. I’m sure they are making use of plenty of bugs found in firewall software to access and monitor business traffic, but they can subpoena those logs at any time. It’s the private vpn clients where logs aren’t kept that they are most concerned about, hence why I was outlining the difference.

No, because there are different types of vpn connectivity.

A point to point vpn is what employees use to connect to the office. The intention is to encrypt the connection so a 3rd party can’t access ithe data going through it. The FBI/NSA won’t care about this type of vpn because your work knows who you are and logs all traffic generated by you which could be subpoenaed by the government.

Connecting to a vpn server in another country to then access the internet hides your original ip address, gets around geo-location blocks and the traffic is typically not logged by the vpn provider. This is the type of vpn governments don’t like.

Wow, I bet you’ve got that comment saved somewhere so you can copy/paste it at every opportunity.

I’ve visited the US 3 times, they’ve got all mine already.

Bill Gates doesn’t work for Microsoft? He’s only a shareholder these days.

Cloud access is typically if you’re managing equipment at multiple sites. For me everything is accessed and managed locally and the recordings are saved to a local HDD and not uploaded to the cloud.

I’ve got a Ubiquiti setup with cameras and a doorbell. It isn’t cheap but it’s local and I highly recommend them if you have the budget.

Most of the time you will be told “don’t sweat the small stuff”, but in this case it’s the opposite, “don’t sweat the big stuff”. Climate change, nuclear war, genocide, giant asteroids, all of them can end us in a second, and I sleep like a baby, because there is nothing I can do about it. Focus on loved ones, self-fulfilment and inner peace.

This argument doesn’t make sense, the UK, France and the US have nuclear weapons, why would they acquiesce to Israel because they have them? In the case of the US, they could continue launching nuclear weapons at Israel long after their stockpile has been exhausted.

All because one man is getting old and feels he needs to leave behind an empire before he dies. Fuck the millions who die to fulfil his ambitions.

This could also apply to Trump.
