This is incorrect.

I believe this was true far in the past.

Most of the high end stuff from Corsair are OEM,d by flextronics.

You are absolutely fine except for the power supply.

I’d recommend avoiding a seasonic as I had issues with their OCP on two of their power supply.

I like the Corsair AXi series. They allow you to adjust the OCP if needed.

I have absolute confidence that Finland will absolutely counter any aggressive actions all by themselves if they need to.

They have an absolutely staggering amount of artillery and you can be sure it’s all pre-sighted and ready to make any silly invasion attempts an absolute blood bath.

They also have a powerful and decentralised airforce, setup to operate from their highways and backwater air fields should the need arise.

Finland out of any nation in Europe would be the least of my worries about its ability to defend themselves, they have been gearing up and planning to defend against Russian aggression for generations, their people are motivated and I believe already armed with their service rifles after they complete their mandatory service period.

Add NATO membership into it and Russian threats are just laughable, dragging such a powerful and motivated foe into a war you are already struggling badly with would be incredibly stupid, not that that rules it out I guess.

I’m sorry what? I think you should go check your Iranian history then come back.

Iran was a flourishing moderate country before their Islamic revolution, they were even an ally of the US.

They had a revolution by a sect of ultra conservative sharia law islamics that changed all that.

The US is responsible for many unfortunate changes of government and old friends turning enemy… but not this one.

They got the way they are through oppressing the female half of their population, poor foreign policy, corruption and being more concerned with hurting their neighbours than building and maintaining their nation.

So they are now an unproductive, backwards pariah state that kills teen girls for trying to get educated or not wearing a headscarf, Iran did that all by themselves how great!

I wouldn’t block them, but I’d be leaving the group chat.

As if i want my default sms texting app to be getting spammed by a big group chat.

Also the default at least here in Australia is pretty much Facebook messenger or maybe WhatsApp not because anyone likes it, but because everyone already has a Facebook account even if they don’t use it much.

Also it means you can easily have group chats with people who you need to communicate with but you don’t really want to have your number.

What a ridiculous notion to be using a platform specific service for a group chat, unless you are deciding your friends group or work colleagues based on the phone they use which again seems unfathomable.

I am an iPhone user, in Australia and i have seen precisely zero iMessage chat groups even attempt to be created. Because everyone knows it’s a shitty pain in the ass service if someone doesn’t have an iPhone.

We all blame apple for that as we should not the android user. How it ended up inverted in the US is beyond me but it’s backwards af.

This whole thing is a non issue being caused by lack of thought and logic of the users apparently almost exclusively in the USA

Personally i wish the default here was discord or signal but messenger is still far better than iMessage at least from a cross platform usability standpoint.

The fact that people are using iMessage for group chats is which a weird concept to me.

That’s what discord, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger are for.

If anyone adds my primary text message service number to a group chat they are being blocked. Gross.

It’s more stuff like, does ray tracing and stuff like nvidia broadcast work?

Like I use that to filter all my incoming sound from discord and all the audio coming into my microphone.

It’s the oddball features like that example above where Linux always falls over for me.

Don’t get me wrong I HATE windows.

I really really hope that steam os on the steam deck is going to maybe push devs to make more native Linux releases.

The problem comes when you talk about gaming.

You can talk about proton and such all you want.

At the end of the day can I come home from work install some new game I want to play and probably have it just work, without feature compromises…

One day maybe, but not yet.

I am now using Firefox…

I mean I was using Firefox before this, but I also am now as well you know.

A lot of the major anger is coming from businesses and government and to be completely honest…

If the system your business or government agency has implemented requires 100% up time and relies on a cellular network or any network or power grid for that matter, guess who’s responsible for ensuring that there is adequate redundancy to insure a outage does not occur or is very unlikely to occur…?

Ding ding ding that’s you, you are the one responsible, or the person who you had design it and set the standard and enforce it…

Business and government agencies/services implemented systems with a single point a failure to cut costs, when I absofuckinglutly guarantee that a network engineer brought up that maybe they should add redundancy and was shot down by bean counters.

And now that it’s blown up in their fucking face they have turned around and are trying to redirect attention from shareholders and the public back on to Optus.

Optus fucked up, but no more than if a power line came down when the power company had one of their trucks back into it and the power went out.

If people are going to die if the shit you are designing doesn’t work, or you business is going to loose tons of money, that’s your responsibility to design and implement something that does not have a single point of failure.

Firstly it’s not a Max version.

Second, the Australian airforce and Boeing developed this plane together and have already had it in service for many years with fantastic success and reliability.

I believe the UK RAF also has some in service.

It’s been operated with many of our allies on joint operations and sometimes with observers as they all knew that their AWACS fleets were in pretty desperate need to be replaced and were accessing it.

It is by far the most capable platform of this type, and it’s a ready to go mature design that the countries looking to come on board have already been operating along side and supporting in real operations.
