The real issue with this game is just how off-putting and abrasive writing and characters are (including and especially the astonishingly unbearable protagonist). I think I played it soon after release on Game Pass and despite the impressive visuals and art style, it felt deeply unpleasant as an experience because of this, to the point that it actually upset me. It tries to replicate the "shiny Utopian paradise that actually isn't" shtick of Bioshock Infinite, but it feels like a pale imitation that mistakes production values for actually saying anything valuable. With better writers, it could have perhaps been the Russian equivalent to that masterpiece, deconstructing founding myths and sham ideals of the Soviet Union just like Inifinite so eloquently did with American exceptionalism, but it falls way short of that.

Despite the imaginative Soviet utopia of Atomic Heart collapsing even more spectacularly and embarrassingly than the real one, the devs do not have anything meaningful to say about either of these universes, being deathly afraid of appearing too political and critical of the Russian past in Putin's Russia - but by being this "pretend-apolitical", they are of course making a very loud and obvious political statement, one that is not a good look for them or the country this game originates from at a time when said country is trying to brutally subjugate a smaller neighbor.

It doesn't help that in terms of gameplay and pacing, Atomic Heart is merely average at best. There's a stark contrast between how it looks in carefully edited gameplay footage vs. how it feels to actually play, but I would be more than willing to tolerate such shortcomings if writing and world building (beneath the admittedly gorgeous veneer) had been any better.

No, it's not that simple.

Of course they can shoot down Western planes in a war. The question is how consistently and how many losses they would suffer in return. At the moment, everything looks like the Chinese air force is extremely poorly trained and, obviously, very inexperienced from top to bottom, which puts them at a significant disadvantage, even if we assumed - which I don't think is likely - that their equipment is competitive with the West. There's a reason they are trying to bribe experienced Western pilots to get some infusion of institutional knowledge.

Sorry, aber das ist mehr als nur zu dünn.

realistisch betrachtet wurde der feminismus doch sowieso nur vorangetrieben damit den oberen klassen mehr arbeitskräfte zur verfügung stehen.

Das war meines Wissens nach eher der Plan im Ostblock. Hast du Belege dafür, dass dahinter im Westen eine gezielte Kampagne der Industriellen steckt?

No. Chinese GPUs have been complete disasters for gaming. Instead of the claimed 4060 competitor, the one you are referring to (which is the most powerful) struggles to compete with a 660 Ti from 2012.

They might be more useful for AI, but as of right now, they are extremely far behind in the GPU space, far more so than in most other areas.

Detested or detest?

Good point on availability, by the way, especially globally. It reminds me of cheap Chinese cars booming in the developing world, for example. They are often extremely subpar, but some people like to take the risk of a new car that might be crappy over the perhaps even greater risk of an imported used car with an unknown history.

I've heard of CXMT RAM and it appears to be solid in the few tests that exist, but by 'viable' I meant commercially viable. Even with current RAM prices (where their stuff is barely any cheaper than reputable brands), I don't know how much they rely on subsidies from the Chinese state. Production capacity appears to be limited, with one issue being relatively low yields, just 80% for DDR5. They are also using an outdated 17 nm process, which means it's running a few degrees hotter than the competition (and you need more or bulkier chips for the same capacity) - make sure your system airflow is up to snuff. This is what I meant by playing catch up with moving targets.

Granted, you don't need the latest node for every computer, especially in the consumer space, but personally, I wouldn't risk running RAM from an unproven vendor (same with storage). I've had issues with faulty RAM in the past, which, among other things, resulted in data being invisibly corrupted over the course of months, so I tend to err on the side of caution. If their stuff turns out fine over the course of the next four or five years or so, I might probably change my tune - or be simply forced to buy from them, if for example the memory shortage continues.

Yup. Recording TV shows and movies aired on TV was far more common than copying tapes. No copy protection to worry about (although there were some attempts to prevent fast-forwarding over ad segments, IIRC) and you only needed a single tape mechanism instead of two.

China isn't competitive yet and might never actually be, given that they are playing catch up with moving targets.

How's compatibility with older games these days? I remember drivers having trouble with games that aren't among the typical titles used for benchmarking being a surprising weakness of Intel cards.

Gilt laut Funkanlagengesetz wohl nur für versteckte Kameras, die auch per Funk Bildmaterial übertragen können.

War ein wenig knifflig zu finden (weil das ursprünglich unter ein anderes Gesetz fiel), aber hier wird es gut erklärt:

Wow, that's oldschool. I haven't even thought about IRC for at least 15 years. How actively is this still being used in general?
