  • I do, I prefer it as my method to escape full screen, idk why but I like it more than alt tab

    Also use it for searching start menu quickly, eg; win + “settings”, enter to get to settings quickly

    I use it to get to AppData folder pretty often too, win + r, “%appdata%”, enter

    Also maximising windows (win + up arrow), and snapping windows left/right (and transitioning between dual screens)

    Last use I can think of is to record, win + g opens the game screen thing, which has a handy record feature (win + shift + r is a quick way to instantly start recording)



  • In 2023, CATL received the equivalent of US$790 million in state subsidies.

    In December 2023, Duke Energy disconnected CATL batteries from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune due to security concerns.

    In June 2024, a group of U.S. lawmakers asked the United States Department of Homeland Security to add CATL to an import ban list under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 prohibited US defense funding for CATL products.

    Just because a company does something good doesn’t mean the company is good, no matter how beneficial the batteries are it’s important to know how they were made and if the company (aka CCP) is in good faith, or just that they know that oil’s days are numbered and want to get a head start on the new monopoly.



  • That’s pretty easy tbh, most of the core bitcoin devs all work for a single company that can absolutely be bought out, and even have gone on record on how much they dislike bitcoin.

    It was the main reason I got out, I bought into it because I was excited by the tech behind it, but no single company should have that much control over the direction it goes in.

    Now you could argue that if they did so the chain would just split and the rest of the world would just stay off the USA owned chain, but imo they have already done so much against the interest of bitcoin and everyone has just gone along with it so far (minus the bch split) so what do I know.
