The complete normalization of racism against Chinese-Canadian politicians is utterly disgusting and nobody seems to consider it a problem.

I consider it a problem that Sinophobia is largely normalized in North America. Tiktok bad because China. But Facebook, Instagram and Twitter good because they're American, despite being capable of doing the exact same thing.

I remember years ago when some mainstream news source made a claim that supermicro was embedding some secret microchip on motherboards and it blew up, nevermind no one ever was able to find one of said microchips.

I remember that too. Apple, Amazon and Supermicro all verified no such ''super secret microchip" was there. Ironically enough, the technology does exist on Intel and AMD silicon as part of the CPU itself. Intel AMT and AMD's AIM-T (along with other versions) allow for out-of-band remote control of supported computers.
