And, non-state run Chinese companies are just like companies in US, they usually don't joint forces to maintain a common infrastructure, if they can build moat (or at least be in leading position for a period of time), they do it, sharing crawl dataset is no go.

It's an over-simplification of Chinese idiom "浑水摸鱼", which is literally 'catching fish in muddy water'. Origninated from Thirty-Six Stratagems (三十六计). It generally mean "to take advantage of a chaotic situation or a crisis". It is later extended to express slacking off.

I'm using a [Gprinter GP-1324D](https://www.ebay.com/itm/365264659480) in everyday work, printing task tracking stickers, various labels, etc. It's designed to print shipping labels / recipients in business scenarios so it's fairly robust. The only con I can think of is its physical size. I'm not familiar with eBay, but on Xianyu(Chinese second hand market app), yes you can buy one using only $20, shipping included.

I’ve been using Firefox since the Quantum version is out. It feels slightly slower to Chrome but it's negligible to me. Otherwise I can't tell a difference (except some heavy web based Office like solutions screaming 'Your browser is not supported!' but actually works fine).

This is really an incredible piece of read! The concept mapping between Linux and switch ASIC can't be more elegant.

Wow, that's really a brilliant idea. Is there any ready to use tools to implement that?
