Is really that big of a deal that we have two types of connectors for cellphones sold today?

Why does EU think it's so important to have USB-C on iphone that they must pass laws dictating apple's business strategy?

It feels the EU is overreaching here, by alot. There are alot of other e-waste that's much worst than iphone cables and they serve as a solid competitor to the usb-c clusterf%^$ standards that's going on right now.

Can't be passing consumer laws imo to make things slightly more convenient for the end user.

I didn't say anything about culturism in that comment.

My point still stands that the problems of overpopulation in the countries these people are from is just going to bring that problem to canada. The economy cannot support them.

Canadians today aren't having children so why are we bringing these people in? How is this in anyway moral?

>Do you consider the United Kingdom, France, Japan, the United States, and Germany third world countries?

Ahh here comes the part where you call me a racist and immediately think your morally superior to everyone else in the thread lol.

Your trying making equivalence between western 1st nations that share most of the cultural values that exist in Canada vs 3rd world poor nations with population numbers higher than the whole north american continent that we should immediately treat the same otherwise it would be racist.

Why must we compare ourselves to 3rd world countries that have terrible quality of life issues?

Maybe the canadian economy isn't able to support a decent quality of life and these population levels. Seriously go visit these countries these people are from and ask yourself, would you like canada to turn into this?! Let's be honest with ourselves.

Don't worry you can just label me a racist and devolve the argument around that instead of the fundamental issues with immigration today. Canada is going to turn into the countries where these people are from if there aren't cut backs.

Kinda surprised nobody is even hinting at the big elephant in the room. So I'll give the hint; filecoin.

The instant downvoting is a dead giveaway to what they're about. It's going to be interesting to see what rises from the "web 3.0".

Found out the other day the nintendo switch emulator ryujinx is written in C#. It's the first I've heard of a performant emulator written with a gc language and it's amazing. It's as fast as its competitor written C++ which goes to show that C# can be just as fast as language without a runtime with minimal gc pauses.

Apparently "trafficking children" is so wide spread and rampant that europeans must give up more of their privacy and their liberties for "security and the children". Welcome to politics in 2022!

Ukraine is very different from Taiwan. One is larger than the size of texas and landlocked and the other is an island the size of rhode island. I agree with you in that china is less likely to invade but due to economic reasons.

They're about 10 years too late. The chinese have already moved their money into toronto looking at the demographics.

I used to always get the latest and greatest iphone but with the politics and everything that's going on why would I want to spend more than the absolute minimum on my cellphone? There are plenty of wholesome things to spend money on other than tech.

>Stop fantasizing that the government cares about the shit you buy. This is not about you.

Government cares very much what people buy and worst yet companies care even more.

Believe or not society functioned pretty well before the surveillance zoo and people were able to spend their money without worrying about their privacy. For the 99% of people that aren't money laundering or tax evading, yes the right to privacy is important.
