That's 700 million potential factory workers, military support staff, and soldiers, and the factories are already built, US companies paid for many of them.

I think that they have a list of approved ISPs or some dependable way to make sure it doesn't happen on metered connections.

"As with Windows 8.1, Windows 10 won't automatically download updates or apps if it detects that your PC is using a metered connection. Similarly, Delivery Optimization won’t automatically download or send parts of updates or apps to other PCs on the Internet if it detects that you're using a metered connection."

China does have 2.3 million active troops and 700 million humans who would be able to serve if needed.

They are considered the 3rd most powerful military.

What is the risk?

Most of them seem to have the same two chips in them, RTL2832U and R820T. Does anyone see an issue with this item I linked to? Some people were mentioning quality issues with generics.

Some sites just give off a vibe that prevents me from ever trusting them, LinkedIn is the most predominant in that category and I have never been able to put my finger on exactly why. The email proxy apps and the pay to see who viewed your profile aspects don't help.

I'm not saying that it's any worse than any other sites, but LinkedIn has always felt like a shady company, like they're not on the users side.

I was really hoping that the Google+ reboot would fulfill the niche market that LinkedIn dominates, but it did not.
