Because they consider Israel to be a “legitimate” state while Palestinians are considered terrorists regardless of of they are Hamas or civilians. That means they call them detainees / POWs while captured israelis get called hostages. Very skewed language

It could be in part either, but its also a factor of how the card itself balances the power. This will be a problem regardless of who made the cable or how perfect it is

Another video noted that previous generations used multiple isolated shunt resistors to feed sets of VRM phases. The current measurements in these shunts was used to balance the current in the phases. If any shunt showed no current (connector or pins unplugged) the GPU wouldnt even turn on. Previous generations would do ridiculous things to ensure proper current balance in the wires.

This is done with 6 12V wires on the 30 series. Pairs of wires go to a shunt so there are 3 shunts, which each feed maybe 4 phases. In the worst case scenario, you could somehow lose half the wires, 1 from each pair, and the GPU wouldnt notice. This would result in up to 2x overload on any individual wire. This is why the 30 series did not burn like the 40 and 50 series.

The 4090/5090 short all of the pins together before going through 1/2 shunts, then are shorted again after the shunts. This means no individual or pair of pin currents are measured, and you can cut 5/6 of the wires and have it still think theres a good connection. This results in up to a 6x overload on a wire (e.g. all 600W going through 1 wire).

Also sub in cut wire for bad connection on a pin.

This is a design issue with the board at minimum.

They are a fairly small group compared to other marginalized groups, and particularly vulnerable compared to others. There is already a lot of misinformation about them. Average people often dont run into them or understand them Well enough to make informed decisions. Its easy for billionaires and republicans to wield religion against them. They are often vocal about their beliefs. Intersectionality is also important (e.g. supporting and protecting other minority demographics’ rights because it is the right thing to do, and tearing each other down is counterproductive) to them, which isnt always the case. Disappearing them sets an example and is a test run for setting up the infrastructure and means to take control. See: nazi germany with the deaf, and current marginalization by the trump administration of the trans and disabled communities.

Hitler opened the meeting by boasting that millions of Germans had welcomed his chancellorship with “jubilation,” then outlined his plans for expunging key government officials and filling their positions with loyalists. At this point he turned to his main agenda item: the empowering law that, he argued, would give him the time (four years, according to the stipulations laid out in the draft of the law) and the authority necessary to make good on his campaign promises to revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents. “Heads will roll in the sand,” Hitler had vowed at one rally.

Sounds about right in line

Regardless of how we feel about TikTok (I dont like it either for the same reasons)

The ban isn’t about privacy violations by the owning corporation or because of challenges or mental health, but rather that the US government (directly or by proxy through the owning corporation) isnt the one in control of the information collected or the algorithms.

Due to its younger user base and lack of US based corporate interests, things that US corporations would normally block, remove or downplay with their algorithms are allowed. This means the culture and information that would normally dissapear from US media and social media instead on tiktok tends to be much more liberal and available. On the other hand, information critical of china or contrary to their culture may be less visible, and your information is getting tracked by china instead of the us.

This difference was exemplified in the wake of the United Healthcare CEOs assasination. Traditional US media was extremely critical of the shooter, and dropped any presumption of Luigi’s innocence or deniability prior to the conclusion of his court case. Comments and posts were removed for displaying anything other than giving him the death penalty (hyperbole, but). They denied that there was a problem and downplayed peoples concerns with the US healthcare system and billionaires.

TikTok on the other hand (and smaller social media sites like on the fediverse) showed immense support for Luigi, and expressed their disdain for the US healthcare system and the ruling class.

Same for the war in ukraine, especially for the genocide in gaza perpetrated by Israel on the Palestinians.

The government and ruling class is upset that they dont have the personal and tracking information of TikTok users, that they cant control the algorithm, and cant ask the company to stop showing things that make them look bad or could potentially be used to create a movement against them. Its those very trends that travel quickly through tiktok that have the potential to be dangerous to them.
