Hell, I bought a 4k 60 hz TV from them and inputs are limited to 30 hz. I'll never buy a Vizio anything again, sounds like this is their business as usual.

The potato is actually worse. They're paying far more than the value of the potato in taxes, as it's considered a gift.

I'd rather have nothing than pay some else's taxes for a gift I didn't want that is way over-valued.

Navalny is an exceptionally brave man, and is paying the price for speaking up. The fact that this man is still alive tells of the power he holds over Putin, which is the support of a non-trivial amount of the Russian people. My most sincere hope is that his sacrifice is not in vain, and we keep these stories in the public eye.

If I don't have the ability to control which CAs I trust, things become useless fast. This is why I fully ditched chomeOS.

The old bags don't know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?
