  • This implies TikTok would have some incentive to propagandize their users that Google wouldn’t also have. Google does corporate American propaganda, which many Americans have been acclimated to and thus don’t perceive as propaganda.

  • Because the definition of what is and isn’t technology is arbitrary. Wikipedia says “Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.” By that definition, social media is a technology (uses knowledge of computers and networking to enable online communication), but also so are most human creations.

  • Find me a laptop that has 10GbE. I’ve only seen 1Gb and recently 2.5GbE. Note that thunderbolt 3 is 40 Gb/s, or 4 times that. Thunderbolt 5 is up to 120Gb/s, or 12 times that. If you’re editing video directly from your high-bandwidth NAS on a several-thousand dollar laptop, I find it extremely unlikely that a sub-$500 dock would be a concern. Even more, anybody who actually does that on a day-in-day-out basis would clearly see the benefit in using a dock in the first place, due to the convenience of having so much bandwidth and power able to be provided over a single cable.

  • Sure, but that’s not a common scenario anymore. We have wifi that is faster than most client Ethernet installations, and if you’re at a desk anyways you probably want a dock. I suppose there is the network engineer who needs to plug directly into various switches and such, but if that’s your debug mechanism, well I am very sorry, look into remote management options to make your life so much easier.

  • When a port is extremely high bandwidth, the number of them stops mattering much. I’m plugging everything into a dock via a single cable anyways, the rest go largely unused. We used to need a dozen ports because each one could only handle a single task and all were relatively low bandwidth.

  • Strongly disagree. I use a laptop with a thunderbolt dock. Being able to plug in a single cable to provide power, connect my monitor, all of my input devices, Ethernet, and anything else in a single cable is awesome. If I had to plug 10 things in manually it would be quite cumbersome. I disconnect the laptop daily as I bring it between work and home, as well as use it, well, as a portable laptop.

  • This disables biometrics, but doesn’t delete the decryption key in memory. This is sufficient to prevent being compelled to unlock with biometrics, but with the decryption key in memory, it is still possible to access data via an exploit. A full reboot deletes the decryption key until the user enters their pin.
