Jakarta is seeking to boost investment from foreign tech companies with restrictive measures that require their phones to be 40 per cent sourced from parts in Indonesia.
Absolutely ridiculous policy. Imagine if every country pulled this stunt.
I’m not surprised the Corsair is better - it looks like there’s a whole nvme drive in there.
What’s that number in words?
Per the article, it’s 20 decillion.
I can absolutely see how the greedy would get scammed by this.
Really? The only way that could sound more like a scam is if there were a chyron at the bottom spelling out THIS IS A SCAM.

I wish they had agency pricing. Buying a license for every install is a bit much.
You may want to familiarize yourself with how their tracking pixel works. In brief, you add a line of code (provided by Facebook) to any given website and on page load that code displays a 1x1px transparent image from Facebook’s servers that allows them to establish a correlation between the loading of that website and the identity of the person logged in to Facebook on that browser. it isn’t “hiding” anything or circumventing Facebook in any way. It’s a core part of their advertising offerings. https://www.facebook.com/business/goals/retargeting
Except you can add a tracking pixel to the destination website after people click through on the ad, which correlates to people’s individual profile. To say that isn’t “handing out personal information to others” is sophistry of the highest order.
Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others
Huh? How do you think ad targeting works?
That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault
Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.
I generally agree, but .io stands for “indian ocean”, which isn’t a country.
Counterpoint: .su still exists
I was wondering the same. It’s a very popular TLD, so you’d think they would grandfather it in as a generic (non-country) TLD like .net or whatever.
Sorry, i dont want to be rude, but do you actually have any arguments other than gesturing at the article & giving both-sides-isms?
Since this thread is about the article, no, I don’t.
I’m certainly not going to defend anything Israel is doing here. Both sides in this debacle are bloodthirsty maniacs.
It’s not only in the article, but in the excerpt posted by OP.
What is this even in reference to?
Seriously? Did you just see the word “Israel” and start arguing without knowing the topic at hand?
Did they use it as a targeting reticle in 1938?
I don’t agree with this, but I do find it idiotic and tone-deaf for pro-Palestinians to co-opt Hamas imagery and a symbol of violence as a show of support. It suggests they either explicitly support Hamas, or are too stupid to understand what they are displaying.
But there’s no installer, so I can’t reinstall it on another device. With GOG I have an installer just like I’d have with physical media.
Exactly, especially to placate a country with no electronics manufacturing industry to speak of. How would Apple even meet that 40% target, and how is that number defined? Is it by % of material cost, or size, or weight, or what?
Blackmail is a terrible way to attract investment to your country. This is like Elon suing advertisers who left Twitter after he told them to fuck off.
