This is the worst ragebait I’ve read since leaving Reddit ngl

wow, you must be a joy at parties

As a Tesla owner (from several years ago, before Elon got this bad), I’m not installing any updates until I can confirm they don’t come with MechaHitler.

Several reasons. Outside of the reactor core itself, almost all items that “become” radioactive are just contaminated with radioactive waste. The item itself hasn’t turned radioactive, it’s just covered in radioactive particles that are usually very difficult to remove.

However, when you expose something to very high levels of neutron radiation (like you would find in a reactor core), it is possible to turn the atoms of the item itself radioactive. This is known as “activating”, and it’s how we produce many types of radiopharmaceutical drugs and other research isotopes. The amount of neutrons required to do this are basically nonexistent outside of nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, so it’s usually not a concern.

Source: my job is to put things into a nuclear reactor and turn them radioactive.

Operating system and CPU architecture are useful for sites to serve the correct binaries when a user is downloading an application. I know you could just give them all the options, but the average idiot has no idea what the difference between ARM and x86 is, or whether they have a 64 bit system. Hell, I wouldn’t even trust some users to accurately tell me what operating system they’re using.

It will be taken out of her estate and her son will get zero inheritance.

Yes, that is exactly how our home toilets work. Many commercial toilets are tankless and rely on water pressure to operate, but I doubt that’s what’s being discussed here.

They just built a massive chip fab outside Phoenix so there’s clearly some US-based division the government has jurisdiction over.

Well yeah, how are we going to get rich if we aren’t taking money from 5 year olds?

They work great in parking lots.

Have you ever visited an Asian country?

I think you completely missed the point.

Everyone in the UK* less safe. AFAIK, the data encryption feature was only disabled for UK users.

Here’s a higher res version

Not sure what jurisdiction you are referring to (and I didn’t see the unblurred plate so idk where this is), but I have looked up the owners of several vehicles just from their plate number in the United States.

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.
