      Fear mongering about China seemingly has no end. Even their solar panels have some nefarious purpose, apparently.

        Probably network connected and they all phone home to Chinese IP addresses about usage and other data.

        Am I doing it right?

        Is Chinese spyware not a thing that exists? Is it only crazy conspiracy theorists that believe in this stuff, and so we should mock them?

        Because if it was a real problem, this would be a good way to silence the criticism.

          Of course it exists, so does US spyware, German spyware, British spyware Turkish spyware.

          I mock people because they think China are trying to figure out what cereal they eat. It’s rational to have concerns, it’s irrational to only be concerned about China.

        Strange, didn’t know that was in the renewable objective brief. I thought It was about reducing reliance on fossil fuels, not sticking it to chyna, silly me.
