I'm honestly extremely pleased with my iPad Pro and Airpods Pro, both are honestly impressive pieces of tech. I'm coming from an EE background, so I might not be able to really distinguish nuances in software, but hardware-wise they are impressive.

I can't agree with you on the Apple perspective, and it's my subjective opinion, I might be also biased since I have a large position on APPL. However, I can agree on the idea that the stock price can be completely disconnected from the fundamentals of the company.

10c 32-bit microcontroller from Intel/AMD? Have I been buying the wrong chips? Care to share some links?

EDIT: commenter above edited their post, mentioned $.10 MCUs from Intel/AMD

I wouldn't like a friend which is incapable of communicating.

I can't look at this and consider it interesting, it's not only enabling a toxic behavior, it's encouraging it. I'm actually disgusted by this.

I'm glad I see other people with the same perspective in the comment section as the fact that someone thought about this, thought it's a good idea and implemented it is terrifying.

What happened to "Hey, I don't feel like doing this tonight, let's postpone it?"

I see that I have made you upset, you started attacking me, it was not my intention.

I'm a bit confused about your comments, since it would be comfortable to think that you are "trolling", but the fact that you are upset is clearly a sign that you believe in what you are saying.

My guess is that you are young and above average intelligence, I'm sure that you can look things up on Wikipedia, I'm old and not so sharp anymore, so I'll also look things up, hopefully we can all get better educated on what all these countries did.

Writing in English is hard at this time of the night, so I'll sign off, I wish you the best.

Is this about numbers? Or the fact that both countries did something horrific?

How about how many wars the Americans started? How many people killed, left without homes? How about the fact that Americans bombed the Japanese? Why can't people accept that bad is bad no matter who does it or how many times they do it.

This is not you vs. me, democrats vs. republicans, conservative vs. liberals, Russia vs. US, it's not the divide and conquer of the American propaganda.

I'm not defending the USSR, Europe or US. I'm saying all are bad and all of them have done horrifying things, the only thing we can do is to hope that we can become better. And this can only be done if we stop saying "oh but he did it worse/first, mom" but understand that we need to do better.

No, that's wrong, the Americans forced us to host your gulags in our countries, besides torture they were also doing human experimentation.

Yes, we were afraid of repercussions, but "imprisonment or worse" seems like the same stereotype we had with Americans all walking with guns on the street like it's a western movie, smoking Malboro and listening to rock music.

The repercussions were social mostly, your boss would not promote you anymore, your neighbours would avoid you. Only in cases of high-treason, such as Assange from WikiLeaks, you would get "imprisonment or worse". Think to how PC culture works in the US. If you're misoginistic, your friends will start avoiding you, you might even get fired.

And no, people did not learn through state-approved knowledge, we had conspiracy theories, we had friends, uncles and friends having friends working inside the government.

I lived under the USSR, American and European propaganda machine, they are all the same. You get tired of them as you get to my age.

I'm pretty sure that rayiner's comment exists mirrored on a random Chinese forum. Someone being offended by a comparison of China and US (implying China is better). We're all the same.

It's interesting to see the American side of the story: "offensive comparison of the US to the USSR"

I grew up during the fall of the Iron Curtain in an Eastern European country, building Russian Spectrum (Z80) clones for the bloc, the USSR had positive and negative impacts in our lives. I still live in the apartment that I received during the communist era through my work.

However the intervention of the Americans through CIA operations, after the fall of the Iron Courtain, were mostly negative, and we're still suffering because of them.

Not everything is black or white in life and the story is much more complicated than the "Russia bad" the media portrays in America. But I guess each one of us is a victim of a propaganda machine.
