Even the Switch is pretty standard phone hardware

There are PS2 that had this function removed?

[–] 520@kbin.social 14 points 5 months ago (7 children)

Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC.

And the PS2 likewise literally had PS1 hardware to handle BC.

To the country that elected Trump he actually might be.

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

And how do they make their money?

Because hosting shit yourself isn't free, and most people aren't up for taking financial losses for their projects.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn't explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we're talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they'd just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we're talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

I dunno, why don't you ask, eg: Russia?

 

Ireland's data regulator confirmed to AFP that Meta has not paid any of the ₹2 billion ($2.2 billion) in fines issued since last September. TikTok also owes hundreds of millions.

 

Not asking for illegal activity stuff, but for pentesting/CTFs/red teaming kind of activities.
