1. It's not that hard. 2. Updates are way overhyped.

Same thing as before, marketing and making purchase easier than piracy. It's not like the Russian government went after pirates much, despite having the laws in place.

Russia was pretty independent on a world stage. When it's in China's shadow, the US will have one less country to worry about (not that they worried much, I think). They can just focus on China.

Not when there's easier alternatives. They'll flock to Chinese systems, instead.

Let's hope "money makes might" is higher on the list than "might makes right" heh

Well, reading Youtube comments will make you want to puke on the whole of Russia. And no, there's zero chance it's all bots.

Watched too much Russian news? I have no idea what was going on in DNR/LNR. The western stance was that Ukraine was combating separatists aided by the Russian government. The Russian narrative of "we're helping the newly reco

It's a neat trick, but pretty much everyone knows it nowadays. Could try detecting something else, not sure what though. On a related funny note, the first Metal Gear Solid V crack only worked on Chinese timezone or language setting, I

Don't even need those, screens work alright with cheap/thin gloves.

"Furiously" probably because the touch input is not as reliable, but it does work. Modern touchscreens are quite good, I was surprised at how well the work through various fabric.

No one reads those ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Modern software is more like "pay always", so for personal (and often even professional) use I'd rather go with free and self-maintained. Hell, everything I buy , used or new, I also maintain by myself, I can count the times

Much better than buying puppies and then paying every day after :D

Just say "Slava Ukraine" heh, it seems to have become a rallying cry and a way to immediately see where most Russian speakers stand.

If one guy can severely damage a yacht (happened recently to a Russian oligarch), yeah an organization would do very well. Not sure how much it would help, but yeah.

They need to be properly taxed, but then again they are the ones making the rules, so that's hard... However all the luxury shit is made by "normal" people, there's a lot of profit in selling $1000 bottles of wine and un

Well, from the comments on Youtube, they're insanely indoctrinated. Zero chance it's all bots.

Afaik, if there's one thing Russia is actually self-sustained at, it's food and energy. Would there really be shortages of food because of the sanctions?

There was a leaked pre-written article for some Russian rag that details the "new world" with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine spearheading it together, united. Safe to say things did not go according to plan.

Putin's been planning it... I think everyone else couldn't give a flying Bayraktar about it.

They're also likely busy finding the guys who sold all the fuel. While preparing for the invasion, Russians were selling their fuel to locals at the borders in Russia and Belarus. Way to go!

You mean the Highway of Dumb? Apparently it's not even a priority right now.

As I said, batteries of any kind... Nuclear would be better, but that takes time to build.

I am quite afraid of Russia shutting off the gas and oil supply. I hope Europe doesn't give up on sanctions then, at least not right away. Betting on Russia needing the income more than we need the resources. Power will go out complete

Huh, I honestly never looked at it that way. OK, let's say I accept crypto as payments... I still need to convert it to "real" currency if I want to pay for food, housing, insurance, parts, tools, pretty much anything... I gu

Well, if it seems that more and more people are becoming full of themselves and it affects your mental state, I'd recommend changing your own attitude towards it. You can only change yourself, not other people.

Very nice article explaining SWIFT and some other things. Being from a country no one gives a fuck about, I have experienced the sort of "discrimination" described many times. Banks, ISPs, stores, local ad users would just refuse

They must remain neutral. Information must flow freely. It will actually do more harm to Russia than the other way around. It is perfectly possible to block Russian assets by other means. If only countries realized that it should be done ab

This is fascinating, and the crystals look so cool! I also recently got into chemistry, mainly for metal finishing like anodizing, and also making my own medication as I can't rely on the healthcare system. It is amazing! For serious s
