Arab militaries, whilst sometimes well equipped, are thoroughly incompetent, possibly by design. They are not a major factor here.

Tl;dr: Sanctions on oligarchs bad, they forced us to support russias war, woe is me. I am so so so very brilliant. I support the war effort, yet take no sides and make no moral judgements. Do not put more pressure on russia.

Have you looked at Cowon? These are somewhat premium end players, but they are absolutely great. Their Cowon J3 was legendary, was declared the best mp3 player of all time by some outlets. I'm currently using a Cowon Plenue D2, which i

As someone that has worked with this for a year (pro edition): expose instances of this to the public at your own risk. This thing is riddled with security issues ranging from trivial to absolutely critical and the team developing this has

I have also tried cheaper dedicated sound cards, such as soundblaster z - these don't really differ much from onboard ones and are not worth it.

I have an Asus Essence STX II sound card. Paired with decent enough headphones, it is night and day, compared to built in realteks or whatever. It is around 300eur, but this card won't become obsolete (unless it becomes incompatible wi

Europe's insane willingness to rely on dictators for our energy needs has brought a large scale war, complete with civilian massacres, tortures and indiscriminate bombings to our doorstep. When will we wake up and realize we border an

My pet theory is that developers exist on a spectrum between "planner" and "prototyper" - one extreme spends a lot of time thinking about a solution before putting it into code - hopefully hitting the goal on first attem

Check out the STALKER modding scene, it appears to be going through a renaissance right now, with lots of standalones being made. And then there is STALKER GAMMA, which gives even modern AAA games a run for their money with its gameplay, fe

Check out Cowon products. Big fan since the J3. Sadly they haven't made anything quite as good since, but the Plenue D2, that i have now, is very decent.

I have an Asus STX II dedicated sound card and it is a very substantial improvement over built in sound cards, to the point i'd never consider having a PC without one. Most people have just never tried anything better and thus live und

Try Cowon products, they are Korean and make excellent DAPs. Currently have a Cowon Plenue D2 in my pocket.

Korean, not Chinese, but I'm a massive fan of Cowon products. The (sadly discontinued) Cowon J3 was legendary, rightfully called the best DAP of all time by many. Currently have a Cowon Plenue D2 in my pocket.

In Europe, however, they mainly back right wing, because it is anti-EU.

Where in the hell are you getting 10% from? Ukraine has a multi-party government and their neo-nazis don't have even a single seat in their rather large parliament.

Neutrality treaties are only worth something as long as your neighbours respect them. Ukraine had signed a treaty with US and Russia to give up its nukes in exchange for guarantees that their territorial integrity would be respected and def

As someone living in the Baltics, their "news" section dedicated to the region is pure comedy, especially in Russian.

It is spring/winter in Ukraine, going offroad means getting stuck in mud. Already there have been photos and videos of Russian vehicles abandoned after attempting to cross fields and such.
