Well, and with the Trump admin incoming: they’re not wrong. The FCC will probably be gone within two years.
Cell jammers for everyone!
that’s a felony lol
and trust me… state will defend a “legal” person’s financial interest than they would defend a shiti organic person’s life.
It won’t be gone. How else will they make good on their threat of shutting down media companies that say things they don’t like?
Ministry of Truth?
It won’t be gone, it’ll be used to ensure the most powerful companies in the country never, ever, have any legitimate competition, and can do whatever the fuck they want. They’ll write whatever laws these companies want. They’ll make it illegal to try to start a new telecom.
They already did in some states at least for municipalities… aint “free” market grand?
lol
I wish the FCC would lighten up the amateur radio rules tho. Cool stuff like Meshtastic is happening outside of licenced bands and is taking off
More likely they’ll close all those bands so that corpos can use them for profit.
better get more equipment for it before the tariffs kick in
Or we could actually make some stuff in the US/EU for a change. I know it takes time but it’s probably for the best in the long run
Tell me you don’t know how the global economy works without telling me you don’t know how the global economy works.
Tell me you dont know how supply lock-in is a tool for geopolitics without telling me you dont know how supply lock-in is a tool for geopolitics.
Looks like you’re the one confused here. Supply lock-in means what exactly to you?
This appears to be a term you made up. What is supply lock-in returns no results.
Perhaps you mean vendor lock-in which is actually what I am talking about and you don’t understand what vendor lock-in means.
Try another search engine: https://xo.wtf/search?q=what+is+supply-chain+lock-in
We as a species make up terms on a daily basis, so I feel the liberty to do the same. Glad it doesnt give any results because it indicates original thought.
If large parts of the supply chain consist of suppliers (vendors) on the other side of the earth, one can focus on one vendor lock-in or one by one (for analytical purposes) and optimise for that but often the bigger picture of a complex supply chain is missed.
Hence the aggregated lock-in.
But to avoid futher confusion maybe supply-chain lock-in is a better term and yields searchs results.
When will we have privacy protection? Or yeah, never.
They can fuck you and the federal government lets them…
