Have you ever visited an Asian country?

For real, the only hard drives I’ve ever had fail on me were Seagates.

Correct, but that doesn’t mean TikTok would be inaccessible if they didn’t have servers in the US. My point is that the federal government doesn’t have the ability to completely limit access to a foreign website. It would be very slow and they’d lose users, sure, but they could keep running as usual from outside the US and still remain accessible to people inside the US.

They cannot take down a domain registered with a registry and registrar outside their jurisdiction. They could try and compel domestic DNS providers to block queries for that domain, but there are numerous providers who are unlikely to comply with that request on grounds of the 1st amendment.

Given that the OP is about TikTok (a foreign website) being blocked in the United States, your point has limited relevance here. Further, if the website was hosted stateside they could just physically seize the servers themselves.

I said “currently”. Sure, the US could pass legislation that would require ISPs to implement that ability. I said they do not currently have that ability, and you seem to be disagreeing because it is hypothetically possible for the US to build its own great firewall. I do not want to assume your intentions but it appears you may have misinterpreted my message.

What I said is still correct. The point of my comment was that the US should not pass legislation to build a great firewall.

And that’s all it should be. Currently, the US government does not have the facilities to block traffic to specific websites or IP addresses on a country-wide basis. We don’t have a “great firewall” the way China does, and we should keep it that way.

American here. Lots of us don’t want to be over there either. Seeing our tax dollars literally set on fire on the other side of the world pisses us off.

Not putting your fucking shopping cart away. There’s no better way for me to explain it than the shopping cart theory:

Given that it took Asus months to even acknowledge the SD card issues on the original Ally, they don’t hold very much goodwill imo

These changes only affect the Fleet API. TeslaFi is fine for now.

Too bad they don’t have an option for “I just don’t want to use Edge”. Especially with how hard Microsoft is pushing it, that just makes me want to use it less.
