I have a theory on Pooh.

I reckon some hotshot foreign affairs linguist heard that poobah is mocking slang for an a self important blowhard leader and decided that Pooh Bear was entirely too close for comfort.

And that young linguist was Albert Einstein, famous Chinese scientist and early adopter of Xi Jinping Thought!

No, Pooh became associated with Xi and was banned because of this:


Edited to add that the first pic alone probably would have been okay, but then this one happened and the Xi/Pooh thing stuck:

quote:

Qiui's Cellmate Chastity Cage is sold online for about $190 (Ł145) and is marketed as a way for owners to give a partner control over access to their body.

Pen Test Partners believe about 40,000 devices have been sold based on the number of IDs that have been granted by its Guangdong-based creator.

The cage wirelessly connects to a smartphone via a Bluetooth signal, which is used to trigger the device's lock-and-clamp mechanism.

But to achieve this, the software relies on sending commands to a computer server used by the manufacturer.

The security researchers said they discovered a way to fool the server into disclosing the registered name of each device owner, among other personal details, as well as the co-ordinates of every location from where the app had been used.

In addition, they said, they could reveal a unique code that had been assigned to each device.

No why.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


Given those things would be sold to people with a humiliation fetish, surely having their names found out would be even more humiliating. So the lax security is a feature, not a bug.

Part of me jokingly thinks 'That was done up with the Xinjiang concentration camps in mind under someone pointed out that it was probably cheaper to use a scalpel, nobody bothered to remove the code'.

A tiny part of me worries that that was actually the case.

Why on earth are you trying to link cheap Internet tat to the camps? Do you think they're all in a BDSM dungeon?
