In short, Huawei is looking to integrate China’s “social credit,” surveillance, and censorship regimes into the internet’s architecture."

My current $500 laptop is much better at playing KSP than my $1000 desktop was six years ago
Arts and crafts time. This cheap shell carrier was too loose so I sewed part of it closed to make it tighter. The bump is a sling point
