China has reams of data because america will sell anything if you offer money
TikTok is still allowed because it's now controlled by the US government and is pretty separated from the parent company or whatever.

"Please get me out of this hellscape, these capitalists are going to kill us all..."
They know this because American companies are spying on you with smart gadgets.
OpSec is just saying one thing to the devices in your kitchen, and another to the devices in your bedroom.
Gotta keep them on their toes.
"Don't listen to the smart thermos. They're in a mood again."
Which coffee maker do I need to buy on AliExpress that has the numbers station function?
It’s actually the espresso machine that does foaming. The messages are in the foam.
Cool, how much data do American companies have on you just based on your phone and computer usage
"Reams" of data, according to "experts."
I'm imagining a scientific paper which precisely quantifies the thresholds for "a lot," "a fuckload," "shit-tons," and found that the amount of data collected fell within the R-value for "reams" with 99.5% confidence.
Ugh dont get me started on buttloads vs metric buttloads
Which, despite what you would assume, are both different from shitloads and metric shitloads

It really is a unit of measure fwiw
Are ceramic filters any good? I feel like they'd get nasty after a year or two if a stainless steel net can get stained.
How do they know? Well, if we're spying on our civilians, it's only natural they're spying on our civilians as well. The NSA has reams of data, therefore, it is logical to conclude Xi has reams of data, too. Probably reams of reams. :very-smart:
This is my favorite totally nonsense thing, like so what? What is China going to do about it? Are they going to put me in an American prison? Are they going to take my American home? Are they going to go through the American Boarder agencies to arrest me for crimes?
Oh right, it's American power structures that can do that. Any data china collects can at worst be used to serve me Alibaba ads.
Please tell me people are smashing coffee makers again.
Libs whose only form of self-expression is consumption destroying things they've already paid for will never not be funny, but getting off Keurig's shitty, overpriced, DRM coffee is always smart.
Keurig profited off of the proletariat’s desperation and provided coffee which took no time to brew. The ritual of coffee is now a vestigial button press.
coffee which took no time to brew
You still have to throw out the old coffee and add a new one. It's saving no work. It's a gadget right next to electric can openers, airfryers, and automatic wine corkers.
Just watch, in five years they’ll try to sell us Antigriddles to make our desserts colder
China already knows we support them through tea sales
It's comforting to imagine Xi knows he has my approval. I don't think it's true, but it's comforting to imagine.
Most marketing firms have reams of data on every American. That's without access to data from smart devices.
