How do you have a SmartGrid if the nodes aren’t able to communicate with each other or log data?

YouTube…that reminds of a conversation I had here on Lemmy a while back. The subject of right wing political content on YouTube came up and I had the same “I don’t encounter that” comment that I just made in regards to Mastadon.

After a bit of back and forth I realized that I don’t engage with political content of any type on YT so the algorithm doesn’t push it at me. It seems that YT doesn’t do a good job of classifying political content as to its lean. So once you start engaging with political content the algorithm starts suggesting all kinds of it.

It’s the same with social justice and racial issues. I don’t engage with that kind of content on YT or Mastadon, don’t see it my feeds, and it’s not being pushed at me by the algorithm.

I don’t know if that explains it completely but there has to be some reason(s) why some of us don’t see this stuff while other people see it all the time.

I apologize for misreading your post.

Like you I’m confused at the continual cries of racism on Mastadon. I’ve been on there for months and never seen it. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist but I’m confused as to how it is “full of racists/white supremacists” but I never bump into them or see it.

I don’t want to doubt anyone’s experience but I’m at a loss to explain why my feed is so different from other peoples.

This is one reason Western nations ripped out Chinese 5G network appliances a couple years ago.

They were supposed to but here in the US as of mid-2024 some 40% of them hadn’t yet done so. I wonder how far the RotW has gotten with it.

I haven’t seen it discussed but I do wonder if this is at the root of the Telco hack the US experienced / is still experiencing.

Edit: The EU nations are very much a mixed bag and some of the largest EU countries, such as Germany, not only still have Huawei gear in their 5G networks but it doesn’t have to be removed until the end of 2026!

Project Lion Cage by Tor Indstøy.

According to that Finnish Researchers project, on his own ES8 from NIO, about 90% of the data the car generates is being sent directly to China. The data includes the cars physical location as well as specific information about the driver.

He has 6 articles in the series now.

Nah, it’s not that Chinese cars have too much privacy its that the data is going to China.

Every step of the supply chain has a profit margin attached. Sometimes just a few percent, but often double digits.

That’s true in China as well. The only difference is in the price of what is being marked up.

why isn’t more being done to improve security and find the criminals?

It is but Law Enforcement and Healthcare I.T. can’t keep up with the growing number of threats and threat actors. From the perspective of someone in Healthcare I.T. I’ve watched lots of money, time, and effort get spent on securing systems but it’s never quite enough and it never happens fast enough.

MFA all the things, HIPS on everything, EDR on everything, Zero Trust everything, regular patching of all systems, High End Firewalls, encrypt all the things, bi-annual security reviews, DNS Filtering, regular network sweeps for unknown or unmanaged equipment…and you can still end up getting whacked by a 0 Day exploit in a commercial helpdesk tool. (This is what got Change / Optum).

The criminals typically belong to overseas hacking groups, many of which are in places that Western Law Enforcement can’t reach like Russia, Belarus, China, and North Korea.

It’s a nearly impossible challenge and it’s never going to end as long as these systems have any path to the public internet.

I want a $10000 car that would normally be inflated to $30000 in the US.

You can’t make that same car in the United States for anything like the same price. Even ignoring the Chinese Governments heavy subsidies there’s still a massive cost gap due to worker compensation, cost of compliance with safety regulations, cost of compliance with environmental regulations, and a whole host of other things.

The cost of manufacturing in the United States is radically higher than it is in China and that simply isn’t fixable unless you’re going to unwind Union pay deals, remove environmental laws, and reduce safety restrictions.

You cannot have both, so which are you choosing? Are you going to go with your wallet like a self absorbed capitalist or are you going to support union workers, stronger environmental laws, and more worker safety?
