There is also another thing I wrote about recently.
You buy AAA game for $50, but to play it with decent performance you have to buy new hardware for $500 or even more. Chips are dirt cheap for the manufacturer, for the fab there is no difference, what model of chip to produce if the size of crystal is the same. Just a question of what mask they will use - current one or few years old one. So, most part of this $500 profit goes to marketing. And games are part of it and I think game makers get much more from hardware manufacturers than from game sales. And I could perfectly imagine the situation, where games are completely free, since they paid by hardware manufacturer.
Also, take in account that large game makers at least have a tons of tax extempts and all that big business help from government who need people be always busy with something senseless and have no time or interest for real life, including politics.
So, game makers have at least two significant sources of money, and end user sales is just some additional, but in no way critical profit.
If nobody will buy all that proprietary games and soft, they will give it out for free. If nobody will take it, they will begin to pay you for taking them.
They want you to play games and use bloatware. They make profits on completely different things, selling data they collect or taking money for making you burn time doing nothing from those who need that.
Since humans discovered that they could draw, carve and scratch images on different surfaces, they began to draw, carve and scratch everything they see around. Night sky is one of the most imteresting, miraclous and entertaining things that humans see pretty often. Really it's strange that ancient star maps are not as frequent as they could be. :)
I see nothing exceptional in that finding at all.
Exceptional finding would be if somebody will find ancient sky map that is not coincide with Earth skies, but with high precision coincide with sky map of some other planet in different star system. That will be very interesting.
Well, this could even be a nice research topic - find out sky maps of discovered exoplanets and search through all human imaging ancestry for them. With modern computers and image processing it should not be very hard thing to do. If I would have been an archeologist or around, I would definitely bet for grant for that research. :) Even if it will give negative result, it would be fascinating work. And if a result would be positive.... Well, I dreaming too much today. :)
Russia is a peaceful country
That's not quite right, really. You can't say Russia never started wars or whatever, it did, since times of Hermanarich. And not always it was the only option. However, it never was preferred political method of solving problems.
As for all this hype about Russian threat - that's OK. Let them do it. More they believe in their own fantasies, less they know about what's really going on, which is strategically important thing.
And it is interesting proof that modern TPTB propaganda narratives become dumber and more illogical. Yesterday they declared that Russia is on the verge of collapse, today they push fearmongering about Russian invasion into Germany and Sweden. Such high-frequency wobbling between narratives inevitably will rise questions about elite sanity even in sheeple, because even a sheeples memory of golden fish become enough to notice that, and that is a good thing.
The worse thing that could happen for TPTB is a union between Russia and Germany. They perfectly understand that, and thoroughly try to prevent this by any means for centuries.
Fun fact: Last time Russia was in war with Sweden, it liberated Finns and created state of Finland. Not even talking about Germany who had more than enough wars with Russia and always lose them. Interesting, what exact outcome they predict today.
Another interesting fact, I noticed not long ago. All US military bases in Germany are in Western part. Unbelivable, but for some reason, after 30 years since Germany reunification, US didn't build a single permanent military base in East Germany AKA ex-DDR. Why is that? Are they suspect something?
Not necessary. Quotation mark separates link from parameters. If there are no parameters left, quotation mark is just senseless and could be deleted. Ampersand (&) separates parameters from each other. Often you need to delete only some of parameters, like facebook traking "fbclid", so they need to be deleted with their respective "&" separators.
You definitely don't need thousands of satellites to create severe problems with access to social platforms and other mass internet services for sheeple who are not willing to know how their internet works.
Say, problems with root DNS servers controlled by IANA will be more than enough to declare any level of "cyber pandemic" and completely ruin "economic" infrastructure.
And all you need to do is one phone call.
Of course, internet will still be there and fully functional for anybody who have a little clue of how it works, but no sheeple will be able to use it.
I think that left just can't see any logical contradictions. And I'm not shure that left make majority of those who support Palestine.
Arabs and other muslims are pretty based. F.e. AFAIK, in Canada it is muslims who strongly opposing LGBT narratives, with some Christians joined them.
What happens with left - they are conditioned to be obsessed with protests and minority rights by Jews. But since they can't think logically, when they see some muslim protests, they join them because it is non-white religious minority and so on. Just triggering of plain reflex implanted by Jews. Anbsence of logic do not allow them to get that this way they go against their masters. Being very loud they nearly completely push based muslims out of information field.
So, the average observer see left protests in support of Palestine.
Really, Jews fucked themselves up with left. Because hardly left will easily drop that beloved protests, and if Jews begin to opress or punish them, of course through controlled law enforcement and other structures, then left will immidiately turn victims, also by unconcious reflex and with more protests.
It could be fascinating to see how Jewish creatures will try to devour their creators.
Of course, top brass of left in power much better understand who their curators are, and so they totally support Israel.
From the other side, protests never acheved anything real for participants, but widely used by TPTB as excuses for tightening screws. So, even from this fuckup, Jews shurely will try to milk some benefits, like more censorship or whatever. But I think they already lost significant part of their young and most active left shabesgoys army.
Well, you missed biggest holidays in Russia, f.e., actually, from Dec 30 to Jan 13. There are some official working days in between, but people barely work, because New Year hangover, then Christmas is coming, then Christmas hangover, then Old New Year (don't try to understand :) ), all that stuff.
Next big Russian holidays will be May 1 - May 9, meanwhile. :)
That's the same as here. Formally, you could own guns, up to civilian version of AK (Saiga), but you can't use it for self-defence practically. Intruder have to be armed with, IDK, 120mm howitzer, in order your self-defence to be accounted as "adequate". Otherwise you will be charged with "exceeding limits of necessary self-defence" with significant jail time. It's more sane to use chainsaw as a weapon against intruderm then a gun. But in any case you will be dragged through the all hell of investigation and court process. Fortunately, intrusions and assaults here is rare now, so you have to be extremely unlucky to find yourself in situation when you need a gun for self-defence.
Aren't people militias already prohibited de-facto in US? I mean, I could not imagine how any large enough and uncontrolled by government formation of armed citizens will be allowed to exist in modern US.
Waco massacre already have 30-year history, and it was just tiny and powerless group of uncontrolled armed people.
Existence or absence of some shiitty paper approved by a bunch of rich bastards will change absolutely nothing practically.
In any way, mitigation or workaround that will allow creation of large and powerful formation of armed citizens uncontrolled by government will be the same, regardless of de-facto or de-jure prohibition.
That's like what I suspect. Some hidden arbitrary regulations / monopolies and all that stuff that prevent any individual/small business from entering networking business.
Here, in Russia broadband internet spreaded like fire by efforts of small companies and even local non-commercial communities all over the country as soon as it become something interesting for regular person. All legislations and licensing was introduced only after the market was saturated. Of course large holdings eventually bought many small businesses, but situation is far from monopoly. Still, it is not a big problem to get a license and start provider business today if you could find a place that have no connection and want to make some money.
many new research projects have shown how to exploit existing coax lines to transmit more than enough data
Unlike even existing coax lines fiber is dirt cheap not only on purchase, but also on ownership cost. It does not rust, it is much more rigid, it unvulrnelable to any solar flares or whatever.
In Russia, f.e. most phone cables was quickly replaced with fiber as soon, as fiber become comparable in cost with copper wires. So, that ADSL era of wired internet was just skipped and we turned from modem connectivity directly to fiber era. IDK, may be that is due to late USSR attempt to wire whole country with fiber, so we had serious fiber production and all respective things so it was easy to switch to fiber.
Ayh have a latop right now (ayh just checked :) peaking out at 850mbps wifi which is far more than enough for streaming multiple devices at 4K (especially when ratioed correctly which is where tech shd go --> router and devices that ratio time versus data and prioritize)
You could have 850mbps, but if you have no service able to stream data to you at that rate, it is senseless to have such rates, really. OK, you could utilise such bandwith copying few Tb of data from notebook to home NAS or vice versa, but it's questionable if you do it often enough to really feel need for such speeds.
As far as why they limit it based on expense --> https://detouron.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/us-eu-compare.png --> Do not forget just how fucking big we are.
Well, we are slightly bigger with noticeably lower population density. :)
Problem is not in whateverG. Problem is in uplinks from base stations. Large cities does not have enough bandwidth between stations and internet to properly serve a lot of clients. Small cities have less cliens, so uplinks are not so overloaded.
Cellular network is not just your phone and some abstract Google or Apple services. It is a multilayer system with many bottlenecks and places where something could go wrong. 5G/4G/xG is only tiny part of it and not the one that exclusively define overall performance.
Changing oldG to newG will change absolutely nothing for user without respective rebuilding of other layers nobody bother about since 3G introduction.
There is some kind of mistery with terrestrial networking in US/Canada. I don't see a single technical problems with laying fiber to every single household at all. But AFAIK from a lot of conversations with US and Canada fellows, this assumed as something unreal or insanely expensive. So, there is something else, like some hidden state regulations or whatever with prohibition level of conditions.
Whatever, all in all, looks terrestrial networking is prohibited in North America for some reason.
So, space interent delivery looks pretty reasonable from the business point of view.
Rollout of "space cellular base stations" really looks like failure with initial Starlink approach. IDK, wrong selection of RF band, or underdeveloped communication/tracking protocol, whatever, but Starlink didn't gave expected results. So, there is "plan B". Practically, cellular bands have much better penetration through atmosphere than Starlink 12/40GHz band.
Not really. It is a very probable and real danger, but by completely another reasons.
Shortly, the only difference of 5G in comparison with previous cellular network generations is enhanced bandwidth between user device and base station. However, today even 3G bandwidth is not utilised fully, because of absense of wide enough uplinks from base staions to network backbone, not even speaking about 4G and 5G. So, there is no any need for enhanced bandwidth for consumers, it can't be ultilised by customers because of narrow uplinks. But there is perfect reason for much higher bandwith between user device and base station for total surveillance agenda. As I see how it is implemented - every 5G base station have local temporary storage of surveillance data. High-bandwith constant surveillance streams from all end-user devices stored locally on base stations. If surveillance state need an access to that surveillance data of specific person, it just download corresponding records from base station. It is perfect scheme of total surveillance system. No need for any centralized storage for insane amount of data or giant network of high-bandwith uplinks to every base station. It is also highly distributed, so very reliable. Only thing needed comparing to 3G/4G is higher bandwidth between user device and base station and some not very large storage at base station.
All that bullshit about "5G is harmful" or "5G is a weapon" is to distract those who suspect something weird about 5G from the aforementioned real 5G threat for people. Pretty traditional move of TPTB - to pose those who try to ask reasonable questions as insane lunatics who spread bullshit that could be easily debunked, created on purpose by TPTB puppets and pushed to every single alt-media.
Suddenly, aviation fuel had to conform to ICAO standards and engine manufacturer specifications. Specifications determine fuel composition. Regardless of fuel source same engine will produce exactly same amount of CO2 for a fuel that conform said specifications and so have exactly same composition.
This insane bullshit that "sustainable" "biofuel" produce less CO2 is total bullshit since the very beginning. Highly probably, it produces more CO2 than "fossil fuel", because you need more energy to grow and process any "biofuel" than to make normal fuel from oil.
So, biofuel is 100% bullshit from that shitty "carbon footprint" point of view. However, it is somewhat interesting in terms of personal independence if you have enough land to grow oily plants and in terms producing as much CO2 as possible to make our planet green again. And may be finally kill all that reptiloids who could not survive CO2 levels of 1000-2000 ppm normal for Earth
So, let them do it. Greenhouse gases level on Earth have to be raised to normal levels at any cost and as soon as possible. Even tiny rise could be deadly for the TPTB, that is why they so obsessed with all that "carbon footprint" madness. But they are too stupid to take everything in account.
My old post about possible connection of CO2 levels and TPTB survival - https://conspiracies.win/p/15IEhESYAY/theory-why-everything-is-turning/ :)
Pretty good proof that this idiots have no any clue about crypto and will fuck themselves up with crypto.
Crypto is not a fucking asset. And never was. It is a mean of exchange.
See the one thing missing from all the conversations about crypto is --> what it is making?
It produce impossibility of any government or cabal to prevent or intervene transaction.
May be that was not a big thing few years ago, but today even me personally feel that benefit of crypto that make it even more valuable for me. That is how crypto value created.
Also, users could make profit supporting crypto backbone, kind of equivalent to the share in Federal Reserve with dividents from printing money, IDK.
Now the common story is "proof of work"
No. "proof of work" is not what create crypto value. It is what make it uncounterfeitable.
There are several features that means oа exchange must have - it sould be accepted by all participants, it should have some value, and so on. "Proof of work" make first feature. Unstoppability of transaction makes second. And so on.
The fact that it was allowed to fork was like open sourcing a video game to let users find bugs or offer modifications.
That was one of TPTB fuckups with crypto. Opensourcing means loss of control over project. When you have full access to source code, you could change absolutely anything, including any ties to initial author undercover intentions.
The public was doing the work of beta testing
Public always do the work of beta testing. Literally always, even in case of very expensive software, I would say especially in case of very expensive software, when customer already spent huge amount of money and have no any choice other than to continue use that expensive shit. But in case of crypto, users is able to even get some payment for that job.
and conditioning their own slavery.
How exactly crypto "condition user slavery"? Do you have an example of some another means of exchange that have less limitations and better anti-government protection than crypto?
I find crypto practically useful as means of exchange for some cases and honestly don't see anything problematic with it.
Your reasoning that crypto is kind of conditioning for coming CBDC is pretty off, because real crypto users understand how it works and what properties it have, so they will never confuse it with CBDC or something else. Those who don't understand what crypto is, just could not and will not see any difference from CBDC or any other digital money like bank cards or whatever other form. Even without crypto existence they will easily fall to CBDC of whatever shit will be declared fashionable, like NFT or stocks or not-a-vaccines or IOS/Android anal probes. They don't care, and don't want to know anything about anything. Why the hell should I care about that sheeple and their choices of yoke they want?
PS: Please consider that under "crypto" in my reasoning I mean independent crypto like BTC or XMR, not shitcoins like ETH f.e.
BTC is by principle is deflationary currency. And bankers hate anything deflationary, since it does not generate as much profit for them as inflationary fiat. Then why bankers created fundamentally deflationary currency, when it is perfectly possible to create inflationary crypto with all same features as deflationary one?
I think even if crypto is some TPTB creature, it is a project that suddenly and unexpectedly for TPTB went out of control. Like internet or satcom.
And when mass-production nearly reached that single-junction limit, they began to produce some overcompicated multi-junction cells with purely symbolic efficiency adavantage, but with enormous price tag. In normal world nobody will pay 3-10 times more for some 1% of efficiency, especially taking in account reliability question.
But here we are. Marketing wins over common sense.
you're asserting A => B
I'm asseritng A <=> B. It is circular dependency. There is no any real need nor in bloatware, nor in hardware that could sustain it.
As for your numbers, you miss the point. Little decline or little rise of sales speak nothing about huge constant flow of unnecessary hardware to replace perfectly working one. This fluctuations perfectly explained by overall economy health.
If software is good enough to not force customers to upgrade constantly, this flow will be magnitude orders lower then we have now. Only to replace few suddenly broken or add a few to existing thousands. The sole fact that corporate PC sales exist at current levels is already a proof of artificially created demand. And fluctuations at few percent level does not change anything.
Market with artificially created demand could never be saturated. At the same time fair market, where demand is obviously limited quickly saturates and then fall with only supportive (or spare parts) sales.
There exists markets where constant demand is inevitable - it is energy, food, water and other consumable things. Computer tech, just like cars, home appliances and so on is not consumable by default. Humans do not chew PCs and drink cars to live. This things could last centuries, without any need to replace if designed properly.
You could easily find examples of such non-consumable tech in industry. F.e. decently serviced during its lifetime 70 years old lathe absolutely don't need replacement and not worse than lathe you could buy today. Sometimes it is even better than modern one. There are still a lot of half-century old (or even older) tech in industry that perfectly do its job. I don't see any reason why computer tech of last decade should be any different. Moore's law turn out to be a hoax. There is already nothing that could be improved in current computer architecture, that could noticeably rise its consumer usefulness. That was a thing in 90s, but not now. I estimate that optimum was reached around decade ago, everything we see since then is a pure creation of artificial demand from absolutely nothing.
Yeah, dude 80% of shit is what I call "innovation, for the sake of innovation".
And looks like the rest 20% is "changes for the sake of changes".
The fork has been unchanged for 4000 years
Every problem always have optimal solution. It's like a hill-like curve with a top where solution is good enough to completely solve the problem and is not complex enough to be unreliable. If that top point is reached, then there are almost nothing could be done to make things better. Only way to change things is to invent a completely new physical principle, tech or whatever, but that is exactly what nobody does. Since perfect solution, i.e. top of the curve is already reached, any change or innovation inevitable lead to worse result. And here they need marketing to convince customers that worse solution is better.
Interesting, if we somehow stole internal financial data from corporations, what difference between financing of R&D and marketing will we find? I think today its orders of magnitude difference and not in the favor of R&D.
And here is next obvious question - how long this scam could last? Should there be point when this situation will explode with following return to normal when R&D is much more important than marketing, or it will eventually stuck at the bottom of making useless and unreliable things with total customer brainwashing to make them happy with this crap?
Didn't saw any chips at all. Dude shows empty phone case without PCB. What's the point? Is it kind of joke?
Even with PCB it will be hard to distinguish, say, Qualcomm Snapdragon X24 (with 4G) from Snapdragon X50 (with 5G) ICs f.e. they have pretty similar BGA package. Macro footage with IC marking needed to tell anything about internals of modern phone. And that's in case SDR approach is not used, when list of supported standards depends on firmware and not on the IC model.
Unless you're doing gaming
Gaming is largely financed by Intel, Nvidia, AMD and so on. That thing with "Guys, this is first engineering samples of our latest videocard, your new game should lag and show low FPS on that hardware" is what I personally saw (and participated, guilty :) ) already in late 90s. Still have that 3D accelerator ("GPU" was not a common term at the time) card with "Not for sale. Not FCC approved" markings on PCB as kind of museum artifact. Today it is not just occasional donating fresh hardware samples with some one-time financial grants, but also a constant direct money flow from hardware manufacturers to game developers.
I'm pretty shure that all modern games could be optimized for flawless gameplay on the decade old hardware without any serious efforts.
No, the dead was more than real. There are was a lot of dead on both sides. Thing is that overhelming majority of them was not Jews.
Jews was not the main victims of that war, nor in absolute numbers (it was Russians), nor in percentage from whole etnicity (it was Belorussians).
While Stalin was alive there was no such thing as Holocaust in USSR discource. Jews losses was not accounted as something worth special attention. IDK, if Stalin just didn't want to make Russians who suffered largest losses angry or he still fight against Jews in Communist party, but nothing special about Jews and WWII existed. War was officially named Great Patriotic War, not some Jews Saving Operation. Only after Khrushev taking power, numerous propaganda about all that holohoax crap and that Jews losses was somehow special. began to pop up. That is connected with great Jewish influx into MSM. Interesting, that when Brezhnev replaced Khrushev, such preferences for Jews in culture was somewhat cut. State Central studio of documentary movies even made a long documentary "Secret and Explicit (The Aims and Acts of Zionists)" (Тайное и явное (цели и деяния сионистов)). Which is in modern Russia is in a list of extremist materials. :) You could see it here - https://archive.org/details/the-secret-and-explicit-goals-and-deeds-of-the-zionists with English subtitles. Take a look, it worth it, and you will get some clue of how USSR view Jews and why USSR was so hated on the West.
