We only produce what is in demand to avoid electrical waste.

That doesn't really fit when you realize these are USB 2.0 without e-markers.

In other words: below average specs for way above average prices.
3A charging is bare minimum for USB-C, not "fast".

These are headed for the trash as soon as the user needs anything above bare minimum.

No, some asshole generated a fake cease and desist letter from Ghibli to try to start some drama.

Even tried to act like some kind of genAI martyr ready to sacrifice himself for the good of AI...

Is it? Doesn't look like they offer debit/credit cards.

Looks more like a PayPal alternative.

Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.

Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.

Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP's infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can't access non-approved websites.

People being excited about getting spam from a scammer.

It wouldn't.

USA tried to keep the encryption all to itself in the past by classifying it as munitions, it didn't work out.

And criminals don't care if encryption is banned anyway.

I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property

I'm not excusing burning down innocent people's property, but Teslas are not cheap.

I doubt anyone who'd lose one would have their life destroyed.

You can have one, as a treat.

What exactly is Signal supposed to do here?

They're not supposed to be able to help in any way, how would they determine if a specific user is using Signal for phishing or whatever without decrypting their chats?

Being European would make zero difference here, unless the European service is backdoored.

No, no, I'm thinking about scheduling them!
