When did the decline of Japanese electronics and technologies begin?20 years ago, companies like Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sharp, Sanyo, Seiko Epson, Casio, Hitachi, Olympus, Seiko, Sharp, NEC, Yamaha etc dominated the electronics industry but today they are a mere shell of what they used to be like>refrigerators, washmachines, vacuums, batteries, and air conditioners>Laundry machines, including washer-dryers>lithium-ion and flash memory your phone uses were created by Japanese>Hitachi Building Systems is the second largest manufacturer of elevators in Japan>DSLR cameras>LCD>LED blue light>fiber optic communications>the first bullet train (Shinkansen)>CD was created by Sony based on PCM sound source>Video Home System (VHS), which preceded the DVD, was invented by Victor Company of JapanComment too long.

>>107989532>DSLR camerasThat was Kodak. They used a Nikon SLR body (Canon's for prototypes), but the digital tech used to convert it was Kodak's. Nikon later took it home with the first mass-produced DSLR (D1) designed from grounds-up, but they did not create DSLRs per se. Kodak DSC was the first proper and first commercially available SLR with digital imaging sensor and recording to digital storage.By the way Nikon is primarily an optics company, and they were (still are) really big in the photolithography and semiconductor steppers. Most people don't realize that when snapping their photos.

picked up a magic keyboard + mouse bundle off facebook over the weekend and im still in awe of how slim it is. bout 1.75in. longer than my main board yet with 100% keys. any mechs with a similar size profile?
>>107992938Nope.
>>107992988not even in the low-profile mech market? i mean i can go with the smallest available with 100% keys if so

A day after TikTok (USA version) changed hands from China to joint ownership from USA/Israel, users have jumped ship from TikTok to a new app called "UpScrolled". It has already jumped to the #15 most popular app in the USA for January 2026 despite newly launching.Has anybody used it? What do you guys think of it?
>>107976574>So what it looks like is Tiktok was used by the Chinese government to stoke social unrest and weaken the Westit wasn't, you can easily blame that on twitter/x and everything from meta if something tiktok started doing when it got caught in muttoids crosshairs for gaza was aggressive us gov mandated censorship, before that they went hard trying to be pg 13 and straight up banning anything that had non pg 13 keywords (partly why alphas use euphemisms for perfectly normal topics) of course none of it was enough, they want a pure old school boomer whitelist of approved gov media, like cable tv
>>107980682>TikTok FULLY controls revenue-generating activities such as advertising, e-commerce (TikTok Shop), and marketingholy fuck they always find a way to exceed my expectations, how insanely fucking cucked
>>107991906When I saw the "TikTok retains a 19.9% stake" I thought it meant that going forward, they would only get 19.9% of incoming revenue. But that is not true. The reason why it's at 19.9%, is because you need a minimum 20% stake in order to vote on the board. This means TikTok can NOT influence what USA/Israel does with US's TikTok, and that means absolutely nothing to them. They don't care if "Epstein" or "Zionism" or "Jewish tunnels" get censored, since they will be keeping 99% of the profits. The only thing that matters is that maybe a handful of people will leave, same as with Elon buying Twitter.The Jews basically spent $14B in order to influence what information American zoomers will consume, while giving up ongoing revenue, as well as paying additional money for licensing TikTok's (now) shitty algorithm.Oracle stock has plunged 10% since the year started.
>>107972497The right is beconing what the left was. As soon as people win they will just shape the world according to their vision. Which especially involves censorship of art and commentary they disagree with.That's just how it goes. Be happy you have your constitution, still.
>>107972531They probably stopped limiting the reach of political content. Usually stuff like that is classified such that only users who are into it ever see it recommended, since it drives people off the platform.
Why hasn't everyone stopped using Windows by now? There are Linux distros that work very well tech-illiterate babies like myself

>>107991689i know there is an app store, but for whatever program that doesn't run natively on linux, there's always some tinkering with wine, wine version, libraries, proton, lutris, which i am already bored talking about now.I definitely would have had more experience if i started with linux preinstalled instead of windows with my first laptop in 2006-2008, but i tried several times linux during the last 2 years (open suse, mint, zorin) and it was always problems with audio, wifi constantly disconnecting and again wine. now i am back to windows 10 (ghost spectre) again because it just werks.i'm not a complete idiot and i know how to solve basic problems with my pc whenever they happen, neither i'm not a lunatic that has to memorize everything about a pc before actually using it.i am not the target audience tho, i only pirate.>>107992675i don't even know what scoop is to be honest and i don't want to know. i installed it with an executable and it works, so what's the problem?

Why are all the skins for plasma so fucking ugly?

>>107987903>>107992741you mean design, right? anyway OP, the other day someone shared a site on why kde looks bad, ill see if i find it, but it all boils down to inconsistencies.
>>107982533Because everyone only ever makes flat themes which are just color pallete swaps of the same two themes.
>>107982533Making a theme takes a lot of work and most people aren't willing to do it for free. I think Plasma's theming options are basically pointless, as much as I like customization.

prediction: Amazon will enter the mapping business.You think they're doing their own delivery to cut out the conventional carriers? They're doing it so they can crawl every inch of the planet, with daily redundancy. And you don't raise alarm since that same van brings you stuff.
>>107992050That would be great but you don't even need to go back that far to see what I'm talking about. I have my uncle's photos from his vacations to various European capitals in the 80s, you can't see a single non-european.

>>107989591Welcome to china.I get not wanting kids to be exploited by algorithms. I get that you are the product on social media (and media in general, the BBC will sell them on state agenda to keep good relations with the people on top). I get that america pissed them off.But I bet there was a better compromise they could have gone for. Such as restricting the personalisation in some form. This will give a lot of control back to state media. Let's hope this doesn't come to germany.
>>107992990I've done some more uh, research just now. PornHub does this shit no matter where you connect from. Right now you get flooded with tiny white penises pissing themselves, with a side serving of the usual BBC stuff, for comparison I guess. If you connect from Germany, you will get the same, except you'll also have Arabic search terms pop up all over the place as the most common. Other websites do not do this, so it's safe to say PornHub is not painting an accurate picture of reality here. This is some evil, insidious shit. (((Whoever it may be that's behind this))) clearly know how to hit it where it hurts. I'm... impressed, honestly.
Not that anyone cares because the appeal is pornography. Have you genuinely learned anything from her or do you only care because it's a mousy looking woman talking about anything outside of the typical paradigm that women discuss?Name one thing you actually learned from watching her. btw she probably has higher standards and sucked more dicks than the roasties you faggots rail about.
