So I guess he is the modern Thomas Midgley Jr., huh?

That was Obsidian.

Yeah, Andromeda has some cool ideas (the whole Remnant thing felt like a very classic Scifi mistery) but it was stuck in classing BioWare cliches with companions loyalty quests and romances, the main character being weird chosen one, the main plot was dumb and it was barely a Mass Effect because of the disconnect from the main universe and missing some of the favorite Mass Effect things (like the Geth).

It might have been successful if it weren't a Mass Effect. Or maybe not, who knows.

Yeah!

These scientists, whose job it is to think about this really hard, why didn't they just think of the most obviously obviously thing? I'm sure they didn't!

Dude. Come on.

So what is a good router nowadays? I'm about to buy one and I'm not looking towards this particular rabbit hole.

Except total loss of electricity is not the only case of payment system being unavailable.

Framing IT vs OT differences as a class struggle?

Sir, I think you just invented entirely new type of technomarxism. Sunrise, parabellum!

As fun as it is, this has nothing to do with laptops and everything to do with someone not implementing Purdue model right.

Only the FIFA Peace Prize.

This is just word salad. Are you LLM and not a very good one, perhaps?

The Germans had strong economic ties with Russia for last thirty years. That did not stop Russia from starting multiple genocidal wars of conquest.

> Russia's undeniable cultural achievements.

You mean war, genocide, destruction and misery?

> Over here in Finland, we would absolutely love to have peaceful relations with Russia, based on mutual respect and trade. But we're under no illusion about it being possible with current Russian administration.

Russian administration is the reflection of the nature of Russian people. Look at Russian history - it is very unlikely that different administration would behave differently.

Putin is not a blip, he is the trend.

The Eastern Germans remember the old days fondly (you know, before "the West destroyed their industry" and whatnot) while the Western Germany had a national policy of "not provoking Russia" and "accepting its sphere of influence" for basically all of it's existence.

From personal experience I would also say that Germans and Russians are alike in quite a few ways - both are pretty chauvinist societies looking down at other nations, and both have very low empathy. Obviously, there are big cultural differences as well.

How dare you!

Germans are totally capable of their own scams (see Dieselgate or Berlin airport or ...).

That's fair, but then people like you complain when someone "steals" I mean distills openai or anthropic models.
