The United States Department of Commerce recommended on Monday that Chinese software and hardware be banned from vehicles driving inside the country, citing security concerns as the reason behind such a suggestion.

"When foreign adversaries build software to make a vehicle that means it can be used for surveillance, can be remotely controlled, which threatens the privacy and safety of Americans on the road," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo remarked at a briefing.

Given all the technology the cars are connected to nowadays, it isn't difficult to see how the country's adversaries could utilize this, Raimondo warned, adding that in "extreme situations," all the vehicles could be shut down or taken control of. While China was at the center of the potential regulation, Russia was also mentioned.

In the next decade.

Problems seem to be the end of freedom of movement while our youngsters don't want the hard work or the life changing injuries that many will eventually endure.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES...

EVIKING

Its targeted in specific seaside towns where locals have to move out replaced by well healed outsiders wanting a second home for a holiday retreat.

This is targeted at holiday homes

About time homes were released for the locals. They need to do it in places like Cornwall.

Should be FAR more....

No wonder locals cannot buy homes while shops/pubs close as locals are replaced by part time residents. Popular villages and small towns are rapidly turning into ghost towns

👏🏼👏🏼

bingo‼️

40% of Prisoners being released will reoffend as without family/friends they get very little support, while few will employ them.

Governments/general public care little about the prison system apart from locking them up with longer and longer sentences. We lock far more than anyone in Europe per head of population.

It's disgrace and few care until problems do occur. (prison riots, forced early releases)

Each prisoner cost us £51,700 /yr

A company whose name vibrates down the rock and roll years is celebrating its centenary.

Celestion, which is based in Great Blakenham, Suffolk, created the first speaker designed specifically for use with guitar amplifiers.

Some of the world's great guitarists, including Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, and Slash, have used Celestion speakers.

But a boss at Celestion says not all staff are fully aware of the part the firm has played in rock history.
