Russians say they can grab software from Intel again

View from Russia

Intel CPUs was always gray imported in Russia, my estimate is 70% of expensive units come from alternative sources. Thanks to Intel dumb commercial policy - no discounts virtually to anyone.

MS updates for Windows are working as before 24.02.2022, no changes spotted.

The humor is that, AFAIK, a lot of Ukrainian Yandex employees supported so called 'Maidan' events in 2013-2014.

Re: Eh. what?

"Russia has their own share of spy satellites orbiting Earth, and it it very likely that some are over Ukraine since they're orchestrating the rebel strategy. If there was any reasonable evidence to support Ukrainian BUK launch the Russian government would have handed them over to everyone."

And that evidence shown to public - Russian MOD published satellite images of deployed Ukrainian BUK launchers and detected BUK system radar (KUPOL) activity.

Re: Eh. what?

"By far the most plausible explanation is that the rebels screwed up and shot down an aircraft they didn't intend to shoot down with a Russian-supplied system. Of course, their only possible course of action after doing so was deny, deny, deny."

If that was a rebels' Buk, you would see a lot of evidence of this - satellite images of position, radar emission detection, rocket launch flare detection, and so on. Nothing like this has not been published.

My opinion is that the drunken Ukrainian Buk crew was training to target aircrafts to prepare to Russian invasion. Of course, they was using the civil aircrafts flying over there for training, but the system accidentally switched to operational mode from training mode.
