I hope the Legal Entity Identifier implementation in China grows fast - I see many Wikipedia Articles with possibility false information about the ownership structure, which could be fixed and proofed with a LEI search when companies have a number.

Canalys lists Xiaomi as one of their clients and BBK Electronics would be bigger if you count the numbers of their brands (Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Realme) together, so the Canalys report (which gets quoted by popular media) isn't accurate.

welp, it finally happened, Microsoft decided the latest Minecraft version should drop support for the kids' Thinkpad T410's graphics card.

this box is plenty fast enough to run Minecraft at a playable frame rate; they've been enjoying it for half a decade. I don't know what new OpenGL feature they just Couldn't Live Without but now this machine is destined for recycling.

luckily I had a T420 in I could dust off but ... how long till they pull this shit again and we gotta trash that one too?

"The Economy" will never "recover."

"The Economy" is not a real thing. It's a yardstick.

Worry about the health of what "The Economy" was meant to measure, not the health of the yardstick.

"Can you believe that East German security service employees used to listen to citizens' phone-calls," I say, as a US tech megacorp algorithm analyses my words and incorporates the resulting threat level into my profile and determines whether I should be reported to the US government, with a level of efficiency that those DDR fools could only dream of.

Every surface of an Adpartment displays relevant ads, based on what the Adpartment learns about you!

Do not try to cover the surfaces of the Adpartment; this angers the Adpartment.

I'm reading this story about California unanimously passing a bill authorizing the building of an open access "middle mile" fiber network, and now I'm trying to figure out what the catch is since Republicans actually voted for it. :thonking:

Adtech is completely defenseless against fraud. And not from click-bots, but its own middlemen. It's impossible NOT to fund fake news and conspiracy sites through ads, because everyone lies and launders ads through shady exchanges.
