I've gone through this and nothing was actually illegal or questionable. I'm not really sure what the contention is.

Depends on the extent of how much you'd do and if you'd get noticed, really. Leverage being applied against you or your parents could occur, particularly to or via relatives in China, but only if you're deemed worth the effort. I wouldn't take that risk, personally, but that's a very specific, individual decision.

The US is another matter. Sure you'll go on a list but everyone's on a list of one kind or another, we're both on one for using Lemmy most likely.

Would there be any validity in your parents thinking your concerns about this are getting in the way of improving your own life?

Just when you thought it was safe to trust a biker, something like this happens. Now where will I get my crank and human trafficking?

To clarify, this isn't intended to ever be a mass production vehicle, but a limited run set of prototypes to showcase parts built or designed by firms in Canada to foreign auto makers.

I've used EaseUS's free partition manager to clone Windows 10, in order to move from an hdd to an empty SSD. It handled setting up a place for itself to boot into while cloning, and managed to get the partition table etc right as well. There are alternatives for sure, but the nice UI put me at ease(...) for some reason.

You'll probably be fine with the proprietary Nvidia driver aside from minor annoyances, assuming you have a relatively new card- on one PC with a legacy card waking from suspend doesn't work, on a relatively new 960gtx waking results in glitched fonts until I log out of the user. Steam under Wayland occasionally has UI glitches with the top drop down menu for me, though a) supposedly it's better under flatpak b) supposedly it was fixed recently broadly, waiting to get that update.

And remember to back things up before making changes!

Continued the tradition of hollowing out the middle class for wealthy donors like any other politician. The man represented Delaware for God's sake. Economy got "better" while people continued to get gradually poorer, materially.

I guess that's better than having every index in the world crater because chatgpt said tariffs on everyone though, so.
