In 2023, CATL received the equivalent of US$790 million in state subsidies.

In December 2023, Duke Energy disconnected CATL batteries from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune due to security concerns.

In June 2024, a group of U.S. lawmakers asked the United States Department of Homeland Security to add CATL to an import ban list under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 prohibited US defense funding for CATL products.

Just because a company does something good doesn't mean the company is good, no matter how beneficial the batteries are it's important to know how they were made and if the company (aka CCP) is in good faith, or just that they know that oil's days are numbered and want to get a head start on the new monopoly.

This is an opinion piece, how can one person make such sweeping claims about an entire generation without even doing any interviews or anything.

It's a stupid opinion piece too. Ofc the army numbers go down during peacetime... What would be the point of paying for a 500k+ army you aren't using?

Also I'm pretty sure when most people were drafted for WW1 or WW2 they weren't happy about it.

Ah just saw the note about the site being an opinion news site, makes sense then

If paying full price and obtaining a digital copy isn't ownership, then taking that digital copy without paying can't be stealing can it?

Hi there,

I am pretty new to Linux, so apologies for any stupidly obvious answers I might miss; I have a Raspberry Pi with some self hosted stuff to use in my LAN - however I have recently decided to host a Gogs (git) server on there also (as well as a Wordpress server).

Heres the issue - my Plex server is accessible from WAN, the Wordpress server is half working and the Gogs server is only accessible from LAN.

Basically if I connect to the server with LAN IP it works, if I use WAN IP it doesnt (The server at IP is taking too long to respond). One weird thing I noticed is that the Wordpress server - if I try to go to that via WAN IP it doesn’t work, but if I go via the DNS it works fine.

The Gogs server is using Docker, Wordpress just uses nginx. I have a static IP and have forwarded the correct ports on my router, I also have a new modem for fibre that I have not used before - not sure if that matters.

I'm mostly focused on getting the Gogs server accessible from WAN, I'm not too fussed about Wordpress right now since that works via DNS anyway.

Really appreciate any possible solutions you guys might know

Why do schools care what length someone's hair is anyway? Are they just power mad control freaks?

I just checked GitHub and it looks like the last branch update was 3 months ago, is the Dev MIA or is this a planned break?

I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

I'm looking for a new GPU, finally upgrading my 1060 12gb. I have a £600 budget, would like it to be fairly modern and atleast 12gb vram, anything over 128 bitrate too.

Let me know your current GPU if it meets specs, and what your opinion of it is!

I've been considering the Intel Arc A770 but a bit nervous about the drivers

I cancelled Netflix and prime and went back to piracy a few months ago, it's been a nice blast from the past

My loading screen looks like it completes, then it flashes black, displays the loading screen again, but after the flash the loading animation has stopped and the screen is completely locked up.

Edit: It looks like the issue was because I had saved in orbit, I'm not sure if the location matters, but I was orbiting Volii Alpha, loading an earlier save while on the planet worked

Am I the only one that wishes these video posts had some text explaination for those of us at work and unable to watch videos in the middle of the office?
