US to announce sharply lower vehicle fuel economy requirements
www.reuters.comWallonia is turning off the tap for Google and banning water cooling at a new datacenter. Wallonia's Minister of Spatial Planning refusing to issue a modified permit for this purpose
www.nieuwsblad.bepreview
The American technology giant wanted to cool the new data center with water from the nearby river. The data center, which is almost complete, retains its air cooling system. The Walloon administration for Waterways had previously given a positive advice, after which the amended permit was granted.
But after investigation, Desquesnes, the Minister for Spatial Planning, decided to refuse the permit as a precaution. According to him, the current drought in Wallonia and the consequences of climate change cause too much uncertainty. “I don’t want to commit myself to a hydrological context that is changing dramatically”, he explained Le Soir.
The minister says he has insufficient certainty that the Walloon Region can continue to bear the requested water consumption in the coming years. “There is a risk that the responsibility of the Region, including financially, will be jeopardized.”
Google confirms that it analyzing the decision. The company can appeal the minister’s decision to the Council of State.

on Xiaomi Has a Luxury SUV for $31,000 That All Western Brands Should Fear in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago
I’m a car nut so yes I’m very aware and knowledgeable. However Lexus is Toyota which is a well established brand for many decades before they branched out. The same with Infinity.
Xiaomi is just starting out making cars for 3 years now, only have 2 models, and should work on their own brand first, before creating a new brand. The market in China in EV’s is already extremely competitive. So introducing another brand, just is complicated for the consumer. Xiaomi is such an established brand here, keep it under that banner.
And the Skynomad is nothing special or high end luxury. That was my point. Build your brand first and in due time, create the spinoff if needed. Now in China, everything is accelerated but still.

on Xiaomi Has a Luxury SUV for $31,000 That All Western Brands Should Fear in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
Xiaomi first car is an amazing sport sedan: SU7. Followed by my personal favorite, the YU7. Actually the SU7 has been the best selling car in China for a few months.
The Skynomad, this new SUV, strangely is not marketed as Xiaomi but purely as Skynomad. They have separate stores, whereas the SU7 and YU7 are in the normal Xiaomi stores, between the phones fridges and laptops. Definitely a different target audience so that could be the strategy. It doesn’t have a Xiaomi badge either.
The same goes for Huawei, who have a whole suit of different models and types of cars. The most insane one, from innovation perspective, is the Maestro, a competitor for Rolls-Royce.

Unfortunately NATO is now run by Trump’s puppet Mark Rutte. This clown is so far up Trump’s ass that he can lick his tonsils.
And since the US president is a Russian asset or Pinocchio more likely, NATO won’t do shit. Can’t upset daddy Trump as Rutte so eloquently put it.

So instead of promoting more green energy, more EV’s and less greenhouse gasses, the US is hurling backwards in every single policy.

I rarely use YouTube. Maybe twice a year using a separate android app so no ads or other shit. So for me this total obsession with YT is beyond me. What on earth do you watch everyday?

In the EU it is only getting worse as these features are now mandatory.
Worst is the inbuilt flock camera that monitors your face continuously and will keep telling you to keep your eyes on the road.

So should an article about a Chinese app not automatically get the ‘Tiananmen square’ response. Or any article about China for that matter. Like a Pavlov reaction.

Same old shit, different day. Can’t you find anything original? Post something negative about ICE on YouTube or something negative about Israel.
I got perma banned from reddit because of my comment that all the ICE traitors will never get their sign on bonus - which they haven’t - and after this is all over, they will have to go back to sucking immigrant cock behind the dollar store.
So don’t talk to me about propaganda and censorship. Western tech companies are just as bad if not worse. Especially Twitter or X or Y or whatever that shit is called, doesn’t know the first thing about free speech. Not that surprising if the owner does a Hitler salute.
Edit: one last thing. How much better is the American TikTok after it was taken over by another right wing company? Yeah, I thought so.

on Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
That is not what I’m saying. I’m saying that the US as well as certain other western countries are so obsessed and overreacting to anything made by the Chinese. Like the EV’s for example. Most of the world is now letting go of prejudice and import multiple brands of of Chinese EV’s. They actually pass European safety standards unlike the cyber truck. The only country now that keeps limiting its choice for its citizens, is the US. And using spying as an excuse to enrich the establishment.
Of course all countries spy. But the thought of putting spyware in memory chips is a stretch. Just costwise it’s not feasible.

on Remote workers report the highest well-being in study of 7,700 employees: while those who worked entirely onsite reported the lowest. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
If they would get rid of these terrible open plan offices, where people can hear the silent fart you try to squeeze out gently, and go back to offices where you at least would have a smidgen of privacy, this would improve office attendance.

Unfortunately because of the wonderful policies by sequential US governments, US citizens will not be able to buy Chinese chips because obviously the chips will spy on you just like Chinese EV’s, routers, phones, toasters, drones, etc. But all the good things by American tech companies whom totally respect your privacy, like Google scrapping all spirit airlines communication, or Flock camera drones, is just fine.

on Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
I was just wondering about bluesky. I joined a while back but never actually used it. Than some article came out that they also are planning to monetize bluesky and that was it for me. It just never got the traction or engagement as unfortunately Twitter (which I also never used)
_Speaking in New York, Mr Albanese said the OpenAI agent gained unauthorised access to the Medicare statistics reporting service portal administered by Services Australia on June 18.
The AI agent accessed both public and non-public files, but Mr Albanese said it did not appear anyone’s personal Medicare details were accessed.
Mr Albanese said he had a “frank” discussion with OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman, saying the company took three months to notify the government of the breach and, when it did, the notification was in an email sent to the Services Australia public inbox._
