What's people's thoughts on the surveillance footage? Is it just plain fake?

Maybe it was the cheapest option to host all that? Doesn't really matter IMO, just download it if you have the storage.

The west media likes to use CCP instead of CPC?

Yeah that's basically it, that's why western pro China communists sometimes insist on using the more proper translation (CPC), but also I've seen some Chinese comrades say they don't really care about the distinction.

Yeah ok but most households probably don't absolutely need an AC, there's definitely people that would be put at risk if they didn't have one but on average in the west I don't think it's the case.

Jesus that image is hideous, why the fuck would anybody wear that?

Oh yeah the repairability/upgradability of Macbooks is absolutely horrendous but at least you can be pretty sure it's gonna last you a while unless you have an accident with it.

Eh, kind of but I even found Thinkpads to be lacking there, they start showing wear and tear symptoms after around a year tops.

Unfortunately, literally the only company that produces laptops with some actual durability and build quality is Apple. I would really like to be proven wrong here but so far I haven't.

Poor guys, they looked so cute.

Same thing almost happened with the Kakapo, a flightless parrot that has no natural predators and was very docile and friendly.

I guess you could say going through 100 iterations to find the right AI prompt is some form of art...maybe

It's about as much art as rich 18th century fucks pestering local artists for weeks to get their shitty portraits right.

What this basically means is that it's a set of assumptions about how powerful and skilled your potential adversaries are in ways to compromise you and your data, and then you list all those avenues of attack and try to safeguard your privacy and devices against each of those.

For example let's take the CIA as an adversary, on one extreme you could assume they have incredible sci-fi quantum whatever technology where they can breach any system arbitrarily and completely, or on the other extreme you could assume they're entirely incompetent and can barely turn on the computer, leaving you to do whatever you want online. Obviously neither of those extremes are true, the truth is somewhere in the middle but getting closer to the truth unfortunately requires a lot of technical knowledge and experience.

I'm not extremely knowledgeable myself but I think you can go a long way with just the basics like getting a good VPN (make sure your payment is anonymous tho, I personally use Mullvad) and not posting any personally identifiable details online.

Why is the Egyptian government so trash on the issue?
