Very true.

Comac does import a lot of complex parts from the west, though (I’ll look it up if this thread gets traction (sorry, I’m lazy today)).

Edit: approx. 40% is foreign built. Here’s a list of the top 5 western suppliers.

NGL, that’s true. But they are quite small, support HDMI-CEC, and run cold.

Edit: new ones hardware decode AV1, too

2x previous gen of these.

Man, I love them!

Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake series has entered the chat.

Seconded.

When does it started ? Do you have law prohibiting smoking in public place like restaurant, transports, nigth club, office, etc ?

Pretty much this. From the late 80’s more and more smoking bans were put into place. Public buildings, any private business, public transport, etc.

It’s at the point now that the only places you can smoke are your own house (even the apartment buildings I’ve been to have no smoking rules. Like, even in your own apartment) or outside (as long as it’s x feet/meters away from a building’s entrance).

I had to get rid of my US Robotics (freshly rebranded from… I can’t remember?) 56k when I moved last time. Part of my soul was left with that modem.

This modem:

Fourteen forty? You ballin! My 4800 baud ain’t got shit on you!

(I can still hear the different connection handshakes)

Sorry, I’m a dum-dum who can’t read to the end of a sentence.

Did Breugger’s die/go bankrupt?!?

Edit: double sucks cuz I just remembered I had a friend we called the “Master Bageler” cuz he worked there. He lasted less than 2 weeks before our unnecessary cruelty caused him to quit (teenagers are assholes).

Bort. Bort. Bort.
