China, Russia, Iran, have shared interests and are known to help each other out, in some cases finding ways to go around sanctions. It's wrong to look at it as one country "vs the west". It's two sets of countries. Even

This seems to me like a form of social engineering, or to some extent, being a bit insufferable. And, rest assured it will not result in anything useful. The only result of this is that you will alienate your friends and colleagues if they

Well, some people needed it for work, or for university. Some people got it from work to be able to work at home. Others may have had experience with 8 bit machines and had money when the PC hit the stores.

From what I gather, this is sort of what happened and why this was even posted in the first place. The models were able to immediately detect a change in their internal state before answering anything.

1. First and foremost, if your only problem with Window 11 is the TPM check, just bypass the TPM check. My gripes with Windows 11 go far beyond this so regardless of the hardware, I am never installing Windows 11. 2. Microsoft recommendatio

Not 10 years. For example, another commenter mentioned the 7700 CPU which is from 2017. Keep in mind that 2017 was the launch of this CPU which means it was available to consumers for a couple of years at least. So presumably you could buil

Around 2005 digital cameras were commonplace. Mobile phones also had cameras by then, even if not very good ones by today's standards. Maybe you're talking about an earlier time?
