H, because I'm in Canada, and the food would be cold before the guy from D got here.

Even more, it also bans all tunnelling and proxy technology. SSH, and even TLS would become illegal in Michigan.

As opposed to the old "only the Great Powers have agency" gambit, which is actual Russian propaganda. Heaven forbid countries other than the US, Russian and China be even conceived of being able to take actions on their own.

There are good reasons to dislike Bambu, but that's just not true. Looking at a Wireshark trace, Bambu Studio connects to three domains: e.bambulab.com (version check), api.bambulab.com (download updated slicer settings and translated error messages), and mqtt.bambulab.com. The last one I can't tell exactly what it's doing, since only the HTTP stuff got decrypted in the proxy.

Maybe the employee downloaded the installer from a sketchy russian hosting site?

The author slightly missed the mark with the discussion around rural areas. As is common when talking about infrastructure, he's conflating rural with remote. Rural areas have excellent electricity coverage, and can easily have enough public chargers to cover needs of the population. With few to no apartment dwellers, rural areas are actually easier to electrify than city.

Remote areas (most of Nunavut in the article), don't have electrical infrastructure. Mostly they don't have people or roads either though. If we have to install the odd diesel powered charger in a remote settlement in order to roll out EVs to the rest of the country, that's still a solid win.

Lead was out of gas for new cars starting in the '70s. It wasn't actually banned in the US until 1996 (1990 in Canada). There were leaded and unleaded pumps all through the '80s.

I think the companies that make the panels might have figured it out. The companies deploying utility-scale solar farms might have too.

I'll be impressed if the seeds can germinate and grow 5000 feet back to the surface.

Unless you grew up in the '80s. Jesus, what a shitshow. Though I notice a lot of nostalgia for the '80s from people who aren't old enough to remember it.

Socialism so far has an absolutely terrible track record with environmental protection. Unless you're just talking about being able to directly force societal change in general, in which case you're arguing for eco-flavoured despotism.

Socialism doesn't even promise environmental protection, rather being focused on worker rights and minimizing inequality.

My compost heap is now 80% bears. Did I do it wrong?
