You can do quite a bit of tracking with CSS by conditionally loading third party resources. Tracking pixels, loading different images on hover, active, focus, etc can effectively track users

For example some controlled frameworks can even have CSS only keylogging https://css-tricks.com/css-keylogger/

The correct solution is enable a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) - so even when a user compromises your website with XSS/CSS they cannot extract any data they obtain. Note: this website has not configured a Content Security Policy :(

Critically thinking - If that was the case this wouldn't have been fought in court.

A few google searches show the effect is minor to major depending on product category. I wasn't able to find exact numbers. But as a personal note I would never buy meat labeled "Made in China"

Re:Ask HN: Why aren't there any USB-C hubs with only USB-C connectors? on Monday January 24, 2022 @12:51AM (#30054128)

There is a technical reason. USB-C is not just a data connection standard like ethernet. Each pin has specific limitations on what it can/cant be used for to stay in spec.

Here is a good summary https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General-Read-Only/Dem...

So most manufactures pick the standard modes that are cheap to implement. This means they minimize the hardware on their side of the cable.

Nope but nice diversion. Clearly I triggered a filter looking for propaganda keywords.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide wikipedia is blocked in china. Please refute the 477 sources at the bottom of the page individually.

The holocaust happened, the Uyghur genocide is still happening.

"An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)."
