Problem is that people will keep buying it, companies going to keep marketing and selling it, and the landfills get ever bigger.

I’ve been toying with an idea that the government should keep track of purchases (voluntarily and anonymously) and they should have minimum guaranteed.

There is already stuff like that where I live in the EU, it runs basically on (e-)receipts or other proofs of sale. Don't mandatory warranties exist in the US?

that shite from China can’t get insurance

Oh, it totally will, and they will even pretend everything is alright when sold, then by the time you try getting at them the company won't exist.

Hi All, I am thrilled to announce that Affinity is joining the Canva family.

It's just so cringy seeing this weird corpospeak saying "we've been acquired, another corporation paid money to own our assets".

I think the guy is sarcastic and getting hit with Poe's law

If something like it were to provide free service over the Internet, not sell ads or whatnot in the US, it doesn’t fall under US jurisdiction.

Actually, that's a point where there is precedent to the contrary. The GDPR claims extraterritoriality even if there is no payments involved, if the free services are provided to EU citizens. It enforces it by proxy, mostly through international agreements, like in the case of US companies.

Wouldn't capturing in high-res, then scaling down or compressing the picture/video defeat the noise filter? Or if you threw a bit of noise on it yourself?

It does as per the law. I don't know whether Google is compliant as of yet.

Same here.

Maybe, but the N version was in response of another regulation that was less stringent in enforcement.

If they only do it in the N version, all other versions become prohibited to sell in the EU. I'd guess this is all versions, and the EU region lock is enforced differently.

The bottom of the helmet looks stormtrooper-like enough to send a few Disney lawyers salivating

Even if they turn out to be what they are, they will just get acquired at the end of their cycle of enshittification. If this shit is not regulated, the market weeds out consumer friendly options.
