The trouble I have is that Facebook & X do this, too, and their owners are similarly unaccountable to US law, but we aren't we banning them. If this law were applied equally, I'd be all in favor. Instead it is transparently j

Facebook's owners & their peers have a massive amount of control over public policy, so no, I don't think the US government can tell them to stop doing it.

No. Zuck is very securely within the class of citizens that is immune to prosecution within the US.

You might buy that, but I don't. Unless they can actually put forward publicly compelling evidence of a national security risk, this can only be seen as a handout to Facebook by the government. This saga just gives more evidence that t

It sounds like they were complying with a Russian law?

I'm not sure that's true, and even if it was, the law as passed requires American companies to not serve the app from their app stores, which is a restriction of American company speech.

Can you link to some evidence of any of those claims? US politicians' statements do not count as evidence.

2025 Ioniq 5s have the NACS port (only in NA markets, obviously). I don't think the 2025 Ioniq 6s do, though they probably will for the next model year. Like you said, CCS-equipped cars can use the Tesla network with a NACS-to-CCS adap

I think that's solved by a recall, so if the car you're looking at is either new or has already had the 12V battery serviced, it should not be an issue.

Hyundai seems to be the top of the EV game currently. We went with an Ioniq 5. Unfortunately not a ton of EV sedan options out there, yet, but they're starting to come online, with stuff like the Ioniq 6.

I wrote two blog posts about reverse-engineering a Gamecube video game that I'm quite proud of. I put links to those posts on my resume. I don't know whether it made an impact, but they hired me.

Yeah man. I get it. But not everyone feels like you do. It's still the case that anti-cheat makes multiplayer games better for those who want to play them. It is an effective technology, otherwise they wouldn't use it. It's n

Well, no. Anti-cheat exists to keep cheaters from ruining the game. If I paid to enjoy a multiplayer game, and cheaters keep me from enjoying it, then anti-cheat is a requirement to enjoying the game I paid for. It's fine if you don&#x

So... don't play them? Your reasons for not accepting kernel anti-cheat are completely valid, but so are other users' desires to not play games with cheaters.
