I had a Sony laptop for awhile where you could draw a circle on the touchpad to infinitely scroll/scrub forward and back (if you started your drag on the far right edge). It was kinda amazing once you got down how to do it.

But scrubbers were around way before apple made theirs.

It's pretty out of the box now with windows and android. You have to link the two but then it just works (I don't find it a useful feature though)

Apple purchased their touch screen division from people who had been working on touchscreens for decades before them.

It's nuts to me that the government isnt clamouring to run free email or cloud storage for people, and encourage them to use it. Same for phone service. It seems like an easy and relatively cheap way to get free access to a lot of data.

Things I haven't seen.

' Steve mould - does cool little kiddie explanations of physical phenomenons.

• Foureyes furniture - a bit asmr, but a woodworking channel. Guy makes neat stuff and talks about life while doing it.

• Wristwatch revival - alsp kinda ASMR, but guy takes apart and repairs mechanical watches. Very repetitive after the first few watches, but I keep watching anyway.

But their software is just blocking based on browser. Their message to you is not "don't use an ad blocker". It's "use chrome and you won't have this problem". Theyre literally just hoping to abuse their position as a monopoly in video to try and strengthen their monopoly on browsers.

The mere use of the words "cheap Chinese" in the title here is meant to inspire racism though. It's intentional too. Our government encourages and spreads it to encourage Americans to view themselves as better or more valuable than Chinese people. It works.

And on top of that, the tech they're being asked to use is literally a decade old next year.

The Chinese government can track any app in their country. Their laws just give them acces to the data if they want it (the same as the usa basically). They don't give a shit about WeChat.

LoL. There's a Google tech talk where the guys doing the autonomous driving DARPA challenge talk about how slow and awful military contractors are. Then they say "we just took off the shelf gps systems (you know, the ones the military contractors spent decades designing and building) and built something that works! Look how much faster the private sector is!"

That talk is 15 years old now.

What you described is literally the Democratic party platform https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/healing-the-soul-of-america/
