Honestly this just sounds like more conspiracy theory than fact. Remember Occam’s Razor, the simplest solution is usually correct.
Like don’t get me wrong, TikTok is absolutely an extension of soft power, and it’s likely that the Chinese government has access to the huge amount of data the platform collects. But I think anything beyond that is just not likely.

How did the “[get] played”? Like the poster you replied too said, it was a completely unforced error on their part. It feels like they tried to jump on the right-wing “China bad” bandwagon and it bit them in the arse.
- Comment on low spec gaming looking pretty sunny right now gang 4 days ago:
I’ve never encountered any of the issues you’ve talked about here, and every deck-verified game has worked on my Legion Go. Often better, as many “Playable” titles only have marks deducted for small text, which looks fine at 2560*1600.
As for the lesser used distro, I can understand where that creates issues. However, due to it’s immutability, Bazzite is a consistent target to support with no real variations in system packages.

Bazzite fixes all of those issues you mentioned in your third paragraph.

Considering all the massive utes with flat faces in the States, it would have exactly zero effect on those. Like maybe if you own a Ferrari I guess.

For fun I looked up how I’d have to mount a front plate and it’s just gross. I’d have to drill holes into the front…
Wow no kidding.

It’s pretty poor form to call any criticism against you out as “attacking”.

It’s just that you keep putting it on them, as if they need to be the one to “turn things around” when their rant was specifically about external systems prejudicing them. They can’t “turn around” AusPost’s decision to deny them the ability to redirect their mail?
Basically, they are trying to ask these systems for help, and are being denied. So why put it on their shoulders? Why not be outraged that someone is falling through the gaps, through no fault of their own?
I get that you have good intentions here, but I feel like you’re kind of missing the point in a big way…

…you’ve got time to turn things around.
This feels uncomfortably close to a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality… 😔

It’s possible that if caulk was used, it didn’t have time to dry and immediately carked it. Sticking a plastic sheet over it may have helped but then they would’ve had to come back to remove it. May have just risked it to save you the money of them returning. It was either a definite return to remove whatever was covering it, or a potential return if the fix carked it.
That’s just my two cents anyway, I’m just spitballing.
- Comment on Sony reportedly prepping PlayStation 5 portable, plans to battle Nintendo's handheld dominance 1 month ago:
PS5, kinda famously, has no exclusive games. I doubt it would be that taxing on devs to essentially create a build that changes it from Ultra settings to High equivalent to the PC versions when they’re all running on an x86 platform. The Series S is just garbage hardware that Microsoft should have never released, the Z1E already outperforms it handily.
I also, out of curiosity, did a search for the “Z2E” and it looks like a large leak surrounding it hit last month: gamesradar.com/…/the-amd-chip-that-could-power-ne…
This chip would be more than capable of matching the PS5’s APU. But the Z2 they’re releasing alongside it will be decently cheaper while matching the Z1E’s performance. So it’ll come down to whether Sony prioritises cost or performance. My money’s on cost though, they’re going to want this thing to be cheaper than a Steam Deck, and the Z2E will put it in Legion Go/Ally X price territory.
- Comment on Sony reportedly prepping PlayStation 5 portable, plans to battle Nintendo's handheld dominance 1 month ago:
I genuinely think it’s already possible. The PS5 doesn’t exactly have a very new processor, it’s a 4000-series (desktop) Renoir, 7nm, Zen 2 architecture. The Z1E (the chip in the Lenovo Legion Go & ROG Ally X) is a 7040-series (mobile) Phoenix, 4nm, Zen 4/RDNA3 architecture.
The Z1E is basically 10% less performant for about 1/4 the juice. You could easily keep the same resolution, whilst dropping things like particles, shadow effects, etc that aren’t going to be as missed on a much smaller display. I’ve got a Legion but I believe the Ally X has a docked higher TDP mode that would push it to being competitive with the PS5, or at least it would certainly be possible with an active cooling dock.
AMD literally designed the Z1E for handhelds, so Sony would be remiss not to use it. That or a potential “Z2E” successor chip seen as this one is pushing over 18 months since it was announced.

That isn’t even what happened though. It sounds like she would have given it to him to wear regardless, as it’s an important and special day, and she wanted him to get to be proud of his heritage. It’s just that because of current events the school treated it like a protest. Some teachers can be the most self-aggrandising cunts about things.
- Comment on What's dodgy about the proposed Australian political donations reforms? | Constitutional Clarion 1 month ago:
Have you not watched any news on American politics? A two-party system is a cancer to freedom and democracy. All we would be doing is trading one problem, for another much larger problem. The major parties are terrified of the rise of minor parties in the last ~15 years. Neither has held a majority in the Senate since Howard, 2004-2007. That is a good thing.
What you’re suggesting is to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Good thing you’re not going to be affected by such a ban, seen as no European would have made the mistake of saying ‘nationwide’ in reference to the EU as a whole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
