How is this dress revenge? I'm new to being a woman I don't yet understand fashion language.
Yes? And what is uniquely chinese about this issue? Samsung, the korean company pushed ads in an update to their smart fridges. That channel could just as easily be used to brick the fridges, by the manufacturer or another malicious actor.
Nothing about any of this is china specific. None of these issues can be solved by sanctioning one country. There need to be laws to prevent any company from selling products with these problems. That is the only possible solution.
Mozilla did a study on cars and data collection. They found it was an industry wide problem. Every manufacturer tested collected tons of personal data and didn't keep it secure or private. Their writeup does not mention EVs, and it implicated brands like subaru which does not sell an EV in Canada or the US at time of writing.
This is not an EV problem.
Most cars have an internet connection. Many have a cellular modem built in. Modern infotainment systems use the internet and upload the data that way. Many cars also store data internally that is only accessible to authorized service centers through a proprietary tool, which will upload the data when serviced by a dealer. Data is valuable. Companies don't just refuse to exploit that value on principle.
I don't trust the laws as they currently exist, which is why I am advocating they be changed to stop this data collection.
All cars have this problem. EVs are not the issue. But not just cars, any device with a computer and an internet connection does this exact same thing. You can't play whack a mole banning countries in specific industries and do anything. The only solution is broad data protection laws.
The OTA updates thing is mostly the result of tesla's ineptitude and willingness to ship a defective product in the hopes they can fix it with a patch. They are not the only cars with internet connections.
Chinese social credit scores are a myth. The sesame credit thing was a study run by one company temporarily and then stopped. It was never implemented widely and does not exist now.
Every country seems bad if you cherry pick the single worst thing you can find and attribute it to the entire country. Which is where the idea of chinese social credit came from. Its a myth.
American social credit scores encourage engagement with capitalism. They lower your score for not having debt or paying it off. The goal is to shape behavior. If you want to own a home or rent an apartment you have to buy things you don't need.
then why bring up data at all? Or EVs? Proper data protection laws will protect Canadians regardless of the state of the market.
China dominating the world's market can be a bad thing on its own merits. There's no need to conflate these issues.
They put cameras in gas cars too. Modern cars collect and transmit too much personal data regardless of propulsion. Nor is this a chinese problem. Every car company does this. You blame china but provide a link of americans doing the bad thing. The Germans do it too, so do the French and the Japanese. Anything with a computer in it is now a surveillance device. That's a bad thing. That's something that should be stopped. Its odd you only point to one kind of car and one country.
Canada needs laws to stop this behavior of data collection. No product from any country should collect personal data not directly necessary for its function. Laws can be written to solve problems. Banning one country from one type of product does nothing.

The link goes somewhere that does not use that The victor tramway didn't use this.
Its a Coyaltix carriage. They build horsedrawn carriages in Australia to this day.

The father in the interview is black. This isn't a race thing.
He wants his daughter to get a good education. As an air traffic controller, he surely knows the value of education because he works a job that takes a lot of education and training to get into. Public schools in the united states are very bad, and underfunded. Private middle and high schools are common in cities and are usually much better than the public schools. Its a good choice for anyone with the means, which he had every other month this year.
Racism is systemic. It is behind the right wing policies that constantly underfund education. It is rarely the driver of individuals. Individual's decisions are shaped by the options available more than anything else. Sending his daughter to a private school is the best choice for a father in his position. Hold your ire for those in positions of power.
The description of this device sounds very similar to those of reputable brands.
IPL devices usually have a service life and stop functioning after a fixed number of flashes. The light has a limited lifespan. Adding an artificial limit would ordinarily be a bad thing, but IPLs are medical devices and its safer to kill the device prematurely than risk it failing in a way that endangers the user.
The skin tone chart is also common for IPLs. They work by heating hair follicles with a very bright light to stop them growing. There needs to be enough contrast between the skin and hair for that to work. Reputable manufacturers publish a similar chart.
The materials posted do not seem innately unreasonable. Seems pretty common documentation for IPL devices. I would not trust any medical device from aliexpress. Braun makes an LPL with a similarly limited lifespan and similar published skin tone chart.
