An adblocker should fix that for the NYT, but here’s an alternative from the BBC.

Hopefully Chinese firms recognize the gap in the market and increase their capacity.

No worries; on the rare occasion a comment involves listing a price for something, I generally try to not default to US$ if the subject matter isn’t the U.S. if I can help it.

I got my boxes in the U.S. to take to Europe, so unfortunately I’m not sure what the situation is for the Canadian version; odd that they didn’t roll out the firmware update to those devices though.

“Government devices typically include preinstalled apps that provide value to government employees’ day-to-day work.”

Her two-year-old golden Saint Bernard doodle runs to the door and barks at the officers, whose faces are blurred in the video.

The point of body camera footage is accountability; blurring the faces of the officers involved takes that away.

While I appreciate your point in the context of Irish reunification, plastering political statements across relatively non-political communities is the sort of thing that leads to new users thinking that Lemmy and Piefed are entirely political.

Fetterman and other fifth column democrats.

The U.S. and Israel shouldn’t have started the war on Iran, but Iran hasn’t been entirely undeserving of sanctions, particularly for its human rights abuses and its enormous aid to the Russian war effort (over 57,000 Shahed-class drones have been deployed as of April 2026) in its invasion of Ukraine.
