      Russia’s Twitter throttling may give censors never-before-seen capabilities

      Censorship based on deep packet inspection may work against Tor and VPNs.
      Russia has implemented a novel censorship method in an ongoing effort to silence Twitter. Instead of outright blocking the social media site, the country is using previously unseen techniques to slow traffic to a crawl and make the site all but unusable for people inside the country. Research published Tuesday says that the throttling slows traffic traveling between Twitter and Russia-based end users to a paltry 128kbps. Whereas past Internet censorship techniques used by Russia and other nation-states have relied on outright blocking, slowing traffic passing to and from a widely used Internet service is a relatively new technique that provides benefits for the censoring party.

      Where "new" and "novel" are "techniques every IT shop has used against social media sites for almost twenty years."

                  T-Mobile 5G home Internet: $60 a month, 100Mbps speeds, and no data cap

                  30 million households are eligible; signups available "until capacity runs out."
                  T-Mobile yesterday launched a $60-per-month 5G home Internet service, saying that it will generally provide download speeds of 50 to 100Mbps and upload speeds of 10 to 25Mbps. The $60 monthly price includes everything, T-Mobile said, promising, "No added taxes or fees. No equipment fees. No contracts. No surprises or exploding bills." The service has no data cap, but T-Mobile's home Internet customers will get slower speeds than mobile customers in times of congestion.

                    my biggest is is the requirement to use their router, I don't believe you can put it into bridge mode.

                        US adds Chinese supercomputing companies to export blacklist

                        Biden administration tightens controls on tech that aids China’s military.
                        The US has placed Chinese groups accused of building supercomputers to help the Chinese military on an export blacklist, the first such move by the Biden administration to make it harder for China to obtain US technology. Three companies and four branches of China’s National Supercomputing Center were added to the US government “entity list,” which bars American companies from exporting technology to the groups without a license. The US commerce department said the groups were involved in building supercomputers used by Chinese “military actors” and facilitating programs to develop weapons of mass destruction.

                            That's okay. They've already stolen all our designs anyway, lol.

                              Stolen sure, the biggest challenge is understanding the technology. That is why many things are poor copies of the original.

                              These industries steal a design and copy it but cut corners due to a lack of understanding.

                              At the same time the chinese government and industry is learning from us, and making their own equipment.

                                I think it's more likely that they are cheap copies to save money. They are knock-offs, pretty sure the only goal is squeezing them for as much profit as possible.

                                    You do realize that at this point, China is way ahead of us on a lot of core tech, right? It's our lack of access to their processors that holds us back in some cases. Sure, overall, the US is still leading in the processor market. But the gap is closing, fast, and they have some components ahead of us.

                                    Don't confuse toy manufacturing and other low end, unimportant stuff, with China's world class engineering capabilities.

Three companies and four branches of China’s National Supercomputing Center were added to the US government “entity list,” which bars American companies from exporting technology to the groups without a license. The US commerce department said the groups were involved in building supercomputers used by Chinese “military actors” and facilitating programs to develop weapons of mass destruction.

                                          That's okay. They've already stolen all our designs anyway, lol.

                                          Stolen sure, the biggest challenge is understanding the technology. That is why many things are poor copies of the original.

                                          These industries steal a design and copy it but cut corners due to a lack of understanding.

                                          At the same time the chinese government and industry is learning from us, and making their own equipment.

                                          I wonder if that's true?
                                          I think it's more likely that they are cheap copies to save money. They are knock-offs, pretty sure the only goal is squeezing them for as much profit as possible.

                                          US makes only 12% of chips today, with Intel being a big player. Intel only has 10nm process which makes them a virtual backwater player.

                                            You do realize that at this point, China is way ahead of us on a lot of core tech, right? It's our lack of access to their processors that holds us back in some cases. Sure, overall, the US is still leading in the processor market. But the gap is closing, fast, and they have some components ahead of us.

                                            Don't confuse toy manufacturing and other low end, unimportant stuff, with China's world class engineering capabilities.

                                            Let me add context...

                                            1. I wasn't talking about processors - or really tech in general.
                                            2. i was specifically thinking about things like knock-off purses and other crap... all in the name of selling to stupid Americans.

                                            Now when it comes to making that stuff for their own citizens, or possibly other countries - sure I'm sure they are making good/better/best shit...
