Recently, I came across an article online that, while not exactly news, has resurfaced for discussion. The original article, titled New Huawei Headquarters. Copyright Infringement Dispute, was written by a Canadian art and design company. The main contention is that they believe the glass dome design of Huawei’s office building infringes on their copyright.
On the last day of 2024, the Supreme People’s Court issued an urgent notice (Fa Ming Chuan [2024] No. 173), requiring courts nationwide to fully implement the new elemental indictment and defense statement templates starting from January 1, 2025. This announcement has caused quite a stir, sparking widespread discussion within the legal community.
Last month, the Shanghai High Court released an interesting case. A car owner, after an accident with their electric vehicle, chose a regular auto repair shop due to the high cost and long wait time for factory repairs. The two brothers running the repair shop discovered that the vehicle’s battery management system had automatically locked the battery output power after the accident. They unlocked it by modifying the software data of the battery management system. Later, they attracted another customer online and performed the same unlocking service on another vehicle. In total, they charged 5,000 yuan for the repairs. As a result, the two brothers were sentenced by the Jiading District Court in Shanghai for the crime of damaging computer information systems.
Over the past decade, my blog has gone through several domain changes, each reflecting different stages of my learning, work, and life. As of 2025, I realized that the previously used hyruo.com no longer suited my needs. After a long search, I finally found a satisfactory new domain — lawtee.com. I believe this will be the last domain change for a long time. Since changing a domain is a significant move that requires a series of accompanying updates, I apologize to all my readers for any inconvenience! I may need to bother you all a bit more in the future!
My hometown, Heye Town, is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese feminist movement. Among the eight most outstanding feminist fighters in the century-long history of China’s feminist movement, four came from this small town. Including other associated feminist pioneers, the total number of renowned feminists emerging from our small town likely exceeds ten. Through long-term exposure, I have gained a general understanding of the stories behind these feminist fighters. However, as I mentioned in my previous article What Are Online Historical Controversies Really About?, historical figures are often evaluated differently at various stages, especially these feminist fighters. Some people tend to embellish their stories, pitting their achievements against the men around them to highlight their greatness. But upon closer examination, I found that even without creating such opposition or maliciously demeaning one side, their status would not be diminished—it’s just that the story might not be as dramatic.
I have two Netgear R6300V2 routers at home, both of which have been in use for over 10 years. Originally, one was placed at my mom’s place, but later, due to concerns about my child frequently going there to watch TV, I canceled the broadband service, leaving me with an extra router sitting idle. For some reason, I had been thinking about replacing the router a few days ago, but then I stumbled upon someone online mentioning that this “microwave router” from Netgear could be flashed with a newer version of Openwrt. So, on this New Year’s Eve, I decided to give it a try.
As 2024 comes to a close, I’d like to briefly summarize 10 noteworthy events from this year. While none of these are particularly monumental, they may have some impact on the future, whether big or small.
Recently, I came across a research report on HN about the plastic components in common foods in the Bay Area. The original article is available at Plastic Report, and the website’s homepage lists hundreds of food test data, which I found to be of significant importance for daily life.
A few days ago, I snagged a free .news domain from NameCheap and registered hy2.news. Since I didn’t have much use for it, I decided to set up a personal news feed page. Since it’s a dynamic page, I brought out Wordpress and used an RSS plugin to make it happen. The page is live at: Hyruo News
The page is up, but sourcing the RSS feed became an issue. So, I started by trying to scrape the Nodeseek forum, where I’ve been active recently. After hours of effort, I still failed.
In recent years, a hot topic in judicial reform has been the implementation of the “Review and Approval System.” Following the last round of judicial reforms, courts have moved towards the principle of “letting the adjudicator decide and holding the adjudicator accountable,” with independent adjudication by quota judges becoming the mainstream approach. However, the emergence of the “Review and Approval System” seems to be a step backward. After judges independently adjudicate cases, their rulings still need to be reviewed and approved by the presiding judge or court president before being issued, reminiscent of the previous “hierarchical approval” system.
