My point stands: if China was "against" Ukraine they wouldn't sell to Ukraine because a lot of drone manufacturing depends on Chinese components.

Of course China does not support Ukraine politically, but that's a different story.

  > Energy is not the main reason. China would still stand with Russia without energy.
Of course it will because Russia also has cheap raw materials not just exclusively oil and gas. At the same time China does not invest into Russian economy because they don't want competition.

Weak Russia is more beneficial for China to buy commodities for cheap and then sell Chinese products back.

  > China could never support a pro-Western Ukraine in the first place.
China is one of largest Ukraine trade partners before and during the war. Ukraine even lobbied for ability to buy Chinese drone parts using EU funds when EU unable to fulfill.

So nope - China dont care. They are trading with both Russia and Ukraine.

They already helped Russia, gave more power and planning to unfreeze assets of Iran. Helping China achieve AI dominance is a logical next step.

You cant imagine how much strain fast-moving mouse cursor put on display server of almost any OS if there a lot of windows open simultaneously. Also non-standard cursor sizes / formats are still such a mess everywhere since even in 2026 there are semi-hardware and software cursors...

Macbooks were not overpriced since M1 Air released in 2020. Of course Apple was not competing in low-end segment back then, but $1200-$1400 M1 just outperformed all the competitors for years. Now with Neo release they basically outplayed everyone in low-end segment.

Framework offer is completely different - they sell you upgradable computer that supports your right to repair.

This is quite obviously because China have strict regulations and censorship of social media and US doesnt. YouTube Shorts and Instagram is full of the same garbage in US.

Spamhaus itself is a shady and non transparent organization and basically one of reasons why its been so hard to actually run email service for decades.

Cloudflare is not perfect, but at least it been consistent about not becoming censorship service with very few exceptions where they banned something.

Id rather let criminals freely buy and use kitchen knives than let shady organizations control who is allowed to buy one.
