One of the reasons I chose Honor over Huawei is becoming regrettable.

Meta is complicit in the genocide

I wonder if white people will be more racist or less racist once it becomes clear that you don’t need to be of European origin nor need to adopt their systems and values to excel at science and technology.

The US citizenship isn’t worth all that much nowadays.

I’m making significantly less than I did when I lived in the US, yet financially more comfortable to the point I can splurge and get the equivalent of a $1700 smartphone (Honor Magic V5).

Shame getting rid of the citizenship isn’t as easy as leaving. Luckily though I make less than half the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion limit that I don’t owe any taxes.

The multithreaded performance is comparable to a Ryzen 7 from a few years ago. It ain’t bad at all. It all comes to price and power efficiency; and for many governments the lack of possible CIA backdoors is another plus.

Copilot is free so I tried it out

Why would I work for free for the Chinese government or any other government? My Arab country gives me free education, healthcare and subsidized eggs and I still don’t support it uncritically. It’s far more logical and reasonable to attribute your fear of China to racism and chauvinism, and is consistent with what I have seen from your culture, media and politics over the years.

Israel is a Western liberal democracy that doesn’t make it good; and Nvidia is helping it commit genocide. I would rather a Chinese company spy on me than an American or European company, more so if said company is complicit in genocide. What will the Chinese government do to me? Nothing.

European-style democracy (US and Israel included) is but one form of government, nations are allowed to choose alternative forms. Judging by the outcomes European-style democracy isn’t even the best form of government. Your intolerance of other forms and desire to enforce your own system on others even when your system is clearly broken and failing can only be explained by chauvinism and tacit racism.

People vote in China. Anyways, this is getting off topic. This Chinese GPU should be judged on technical merits, not based on the form of government or whether China adheres to European cultural and political norms. If that’s your only issue with it, then it is an admission that it is a competitive product.

In a democracy most people get what they want most of the time. Do you honestly believe that people in the US want to go bankrupt every time they need healthcare?

White, Anglo-Saxon, Christian.

The Chuo Shinkansen is scheduled to open in 2034.

No, this is misleading. Not in service, and only an engine car.

Is it actually in service? It seems like not yet, but I do think they will beat the Chuo Shinkansen in both time and speed.

Microsoft spent 8.5 billion dollars to acquire Skype in 2011.

People in the West seem to choose to be as dumb as rocks. My only consolation is that you are only 13% of the world population and declining. Soon enough we won’t have to care what you think, and future generations may not even have to learn your languages to read your horrible takes.

Reading online posts by benighted Westerners made me wish I never learned English.

People are getting paid to hate the US/West? I have been doing it for free by witnessing the genocide in Gaza

I am glad Tango Gameworks found a new home. As for Xbox, I am no longer buying any new games for it and I am boycotting Microsoft for a myriad of reasons.

It is open source, so it should be audited and if there are back doors they can be plugged in a fork

We will have true AI once it is capable of answering “I don’t know” instead of making things up

Maybe GPUs can be affordable again?

Someone just missed how China was so far behind on ICE vehicles but leaped everyone on EVs

Do you think Westerners will finally understand that they are not racially or culturally superior just because for a brief period of human history they were the dominant technological and economical power?

What am I saying? I am being delusional. They will just double down on Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism. And more Chinese people working in the West will leave back to their country.

I’m one of those nerds

I guess they hate money

The world seriously needs an alternative to US technology.

Also what does Biden have against Iceland and Greenland?

How do we know that the Chinese fighter jet is actually 6th gen and not say 5.999999… gen?

Maybe maybe not. That TGV was just an engine car.

On conventional rail? I think you mean that one TGV example with no cars or passengers just an engine car?

Can it go this fast while in service? Is it practical to do so? Where does this leave Maglev?

While the country’s high-speed rail system has yet to turn a profit on a national scale

Lots of brainworms in this sentence. It is never the purpose of infrastructure projects to turn a profit.

I grabbed a bunch of games for Playstation, Steam and Switch. Some were cross platform so I could have gotten it for any of them. I grabbed a bunch of Atelier and Senran Kagura games, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, plus old JRPGs on a discount like Omega Quintet, Seven Pirates H, Mugen Souls, and Megadimension Neptunia VII. I do want to get the Romancing Saga 2 Remake but since I am still playing the Remaster on XBox, I decided to wait.

Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World is going to scratch my simcity itch. I am not ready to get into Cities Skylines 2, yet, I did play the first though. I had Estival Versus and Peach Beach Splash on the Playstation but they have graphical glitches on the PS5, so I got them again for Steam discounted. I also bought Theatrhythm for the Switch though I already had it for Playstation. Also got Patapon.

Why?

I don’t think any of the Atelier games use UE5 and if they do they aren’t hurt by it

I haven’t played it yet. But I did play the FFVII Rebirth demo and I didn’t like it, nothing like the FFVII I loved back in the day.

Chrome and Android should be spun off into independent companies.

I wish “burns” was literal.

Something tells me the human in charge of the bot responses wrote this themselves.

The rise of China makes boycotting the West much easier.
