Where?

Take any piece of technical equipment and check out where it was made. Then unscrew it and work out where the individual components were made. If there is even one piece of "high technology" that was NOT made in Asia, light a candle and have a minute of silence.

Now ask yourself WHERE the mentioned difficulties for Russia should be coming from?

Re: Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch

Iranians are overwhelmingly selfless. I could drop you by parachute anywhere over Iran and they would provide for you, at their own expense, and organize and pay for the return flight themselves. Even the poorest would make sacrifices to help you.

The (current) Iranian leadership would like nothing more than to isolate its cosmopolitan population. The Iranians always manage to bring real reformers to power. Unfortunately, the U.S. then comes along and bombs away until the muftis are back in power. Coincidentally, it is precisely those who shout "Death to the USA!" the loudest, who are playing for the same.

Often enough that “running down the clock” simply stems from them not understanding you. I kid you not! Many do not speak a word of English, nor “proper Chinese”. Hence, they only get garbled auto-translations.

If you rely on ANYTHING by Google you are a fool

By now you should have managed to figure out that if you rely on anything by Google, you are a fool. I'm sure that they can cancel the entire service yesterday, without their customers being able to do anything about it. There's likely something (illegal) about that in the fine print.

If I were to post a list of all the services they killed over the years, you'd have to scroll.

US prosecutors: Chinese walkie-talkie-maker Hytera stole Motorola secrets

So am I

Under the pretext of “fighting terror” the US stole MASSES of intellectual property from their European “partners”. Companies had their inventions patented by US companies, using THEIR OWN pictures intercepted from faxes. This is how long it dates back. When those companies sued, with the clear proof of their pictures in the US patents, US courts simply threw out the cases.

Thanks, but China has NEVER been this bad to us.

Re: Open banana courts @LC

Those masks were not invented yesterday.

You are imputing incompetence to those who have studied this stuff for decades. You are pretending that they put it on these things for the fun of it. No, they put it there after being sued by morons who seriously believed that you could protect yourself from viruses with a rag on your face.

Tip: The body of a healthy(!) person contains more viruses than body cells. How does that work? Quite simple: viruses are DAMN small.

Open banana courts

Re: Most microsoft advice ever

Yes indeed, I had the pleasure too. That thing had “logged itself into the operating system” so deep that a removal resulted in a “non-operating system”.

Both Eclipse and Visual Studio are more of an operating system than just an IDE. Both are extremely clumsy and slow. Other IDEs show that this is unnecessary and can be done much, much better.

I can recall an LG promise. Their new smart phone was to receive an update to the newest Android version. It never did. I never bought anything from LG ever again.

Tesla driver charged with vehicular manslaughter after deadly Autopilot crash

“with standard cruise control yes, cruise control just holds the speed”

Alert

Re: Who's Driving The Car?

While that looks like a fair assessment, it is not how humans (and other animals) work.

Suppose, you had the job of pressing a red button, once a red light in the upper right corner of the screen comes on. Suppose that nothing ever happens. You will then likely fail to press the button in time when the light comes on, as time has taught you not to pay attention.

Note that this happens at an UNCONSCIOUS level. You can exercise a strong discipline to keep yourself “awake”, but ultimately you are rolling the boulder uphill here. Sooner or later, this is bound to fail.

US-China chip cold war? It's only helping the Middle Kingdom, silicon makers warn

Best way of determining where this is coming from is to look at the language

Last time I checked, it wasn't China that was pushing for war. This has been deliberately worded the wrong way round to make it seem like China is the culprit.
