I helped a friend with unlocking their newer Xiamoi device not too long ago and it wasn't that bad, all you have to do is link your device to your Xiaomi account and then download their Mi Unlocker program on your desktop and connect your phone, no more waiting.

You can take it to the office's laundry department on floor 4 and they do it free of charge, though if your daily post count isn't high enough they ask for a small fee but I'm usually ok with paying it, it's like 50 rubles/4 yuan which is pretty cheap!
Hey, in a few more years (honestly, with the rate this is going probably more like a decade) the Yanks will finally be able to slap "Made in America 🇺🇸" on the chips they use in their missile's guidance systems! A huge win for the military industrial complex!
Dropping another reminder to switch to Matrix! It's free, open-source, decentralized, and has end-to-end encryption.

Good, don't give into terrorist's extortion.
Yea, good luck with that, go kick rocks. The Yanks are getting real scared of SMIC now, their first round of sanctions made China go from having decent semiconductor production capabilities to being able to compete with offerings from TSMC in like half a year and it will only keep getting better. America has sealed it's own fate, as is usual.

The wrong Germany won the cold war, what the fuck.
Meanwhile the Yanks are scrambling to build chip fabs on home soil (and failing miserably) because they're very aware that depending on their occupation of Taiwan for their chips isn't going to last much longer and the missile production must never stop!
And slightly related to this post, if anyone ever asks you why the Yanks are so invested in Taiwan, just show them this video of someone disassembling a Javelin anti-tank missile's guidance computer. Pretty much every single chip inside that thing is made in Taiwan.
Ricky goes right down to piss jug alley and get the gnarliest ol' pisses he can find for free!
