BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPto Apple@lemmy.zip•Designed in US, made in China: Why Apple is stuckEnglish1·3 days agoRight, but that’s like a few % of total production which are made outside of China. And there isn’t an easy way to scale it too even in medium term as those countries just lack skilled labour for that level of production.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•CVE Board members launch the CVE Foundation, a dedicated, non-profit to continue identifying vulnerabilities, after the US ended its contract with MitreEnglish2·6 days agoI really hope it will not be based in the US where law is dead and where IRS at the command of executive can remove non-profit status. That would defeat all the stated goals in the press release.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Legal News@lemmy.zip•Figma sent a cease-and-desist letter to Lovable over the term 'Dev Mode'English7·7 days agoWhen copyright offices allow trademarking common use words it loses all meaning. And with people and companies losing faith in legal system, good luck enforcing anything going forward.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google, antitrust enforcement and the future of European digital sovereignty.English1·7 days agoSmall copies of existing technologies aren’t novelty nor innovation.
Well, this just shows your ignorance on the subject. The biggest irony is that you probably don’t even know when you use some EU innovation since they aggressively promote open research, so it’s not hiding behind a patent to be abused to by a single greedy corporation…
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•NOAA scientists scrub toilets, rethink experiments after service contracts endEnglish6·8 days agoAmerica’s dominance in research is back baby!
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•International students may be among the biggest early beneficiaries of ChatGPT.English3·8 days agoUntil someone accuses you of using it “not the allowed way” and without any proof suspends your education. She lost her scholarship over an AI allegation — and it impacted her mental health
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Google, antitrust enforcement and the future of European digital sovereignty.English3·8 days agoEU has been for a long time investing in innovation and supporting open source development. Lemmy for one is partially funded by EU funds…
The issue is an economic centrism which dominates the EU governance so while there are plenty EU supported and developed alternatives they are not used. But as much as hate LLMs it seems that was the push required for EU to reconsider their approach. Combine that with the friends turning into foes and the future tech sector in the EU looks bright.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Technology@lemmy.zip•Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connectionEnglish4·11 days agoThe Bluetooth standard uses maximum power as a requirement for classification not range. So if they manage to not exceed the power limit of class 1 it would be valid.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPMto Legal News@lemmy.zip•US | Mahmoud Khalil can be deported, immigration judge rulesEnglish4·11 days agoAt his hearing in Jena, Mahmoud Khalil asked to address the court, according to an ACLU press release.
“I would like to quote what you said last time that there’s nothing that’s more important to this court than due process rights and fundamental fairness,” Khalil said. “Clearly what we witnessed today, neither of these principles were present today or in this whole process. This is exactly why the Trump administration has sent me to this court, 1,000 miles away from my family. I just hope that the urgency that you deemed fit for me is afforded to the hundreds of others who have been here without hearing for months.”
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPto Europe@feddit.org•Europeans now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) permit to visit the UK – here’s what to knowEnglish101·12 days agoVisting internet without an ad blocker is literally impossible these days. It’s simply mandatory.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPto Europe@feddit.org•Europeans now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) permit to visit the UK – here’s what to knowEnglish13·12 days agoIt’s defintely that. They went even further before until it was pointed out to them that it was a bit to obvious.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Apple@lemmy.zip•Trump believes iPhones can be made in the US, says White HouseEnglish3·13 days agoI don’t see Americans working sweatshop-style manufacturing jobs for pennies. They are actively getting rid of slave-wage migrant workers and failing to find replacements, so they are now changing laws to allow child labour again.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipto Apple@lemmy.zip•Trump believes iPhones can be made in the US, says White HouseEnglish4·13 days agoThey did try that. It was in Texas for Mac Pro. It was such a failure that the whole product launch was delayed. And it was then under perfect conditions without all the tarrifs.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Technology@lemmy.zip•How a false X post about pausing tariffs led to multi-trillion-dollar market swings.English5·15 days agoSo the whole stock market is a scam just like crypto? Fake money goes up and fake money goes down.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipMto Legal News@lemmy.zip•Enforcing the Law of Democracy: On the Marine Le Pen Ineligibility Judgment and Its ImplicationsEnglish2·15 days agoThe “democratic public order” argument is not used for the rulling, just the enforcement mechanism (i.e. the ban being immediate). Which in and of itself is not novel, just rarely used.
Novel or not it just plainly makes sense. If you can suspend the rulling via appeal process it effectively becomes null and void since the rulling is time sensitive.
It’s also fitting, since her party and she personally argued for this exact mechnicism to be used by all courts in corruption cases.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.English31·16 days agoI agree that Democratic party is toxic, but I disagree that those voters wouldn’t cross the line for the right candidate, since we know they can. They already did that for Bernie Sanders, but sadly he was intentionally sabotaged by the DNC at the time. In the current environment I think it’s even more likely where actions of Luigi Mangione were universally praised, you have cross-party hatred of robber barons and the myth of “Republicans are good for the economy” being shattered.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.English5·16 days agoIt’s really up to the voters. I don’t think you can convert these people into Kamala Harris or Joe Biden or another corporate Democrat voters, but some anti-oligarchy pro middle-class candidate would have a chance. Because while Republicans love their racism and bigotry, when polled on individual issues they all support that economic agenda. They can still be racist and bigots while not having to live paycheck to paycheck.
BrikoX@lemmy.zipOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.English10·16 days agoI think stuff like has a chance to backfire. Similar to the town halls where Republican party called all the unhappy grannies and veterans “Soros plants” and “paid aggitators”. Those are life long Republicans voters who until now believed all the propogranda but now that they themselves been called that they are starting to question it.
It of course won’t matter for cult members, those are are beyond reaching, but it’s something.
So in others words constitution is dead and buried.
