December 10, 2021: US small arms and ammo arrive in Ukraine as Pentagon details troops to train country’s military

They refused to promise not to do it in the future. They also allowed several ex-SU countries to join NATO and are hosting weapons in ex-Warshaw-Pact countries. So, hosting weapons in Ukraine is the next step that Russia could expect.

It's not about nuclear weapons only. Ukraine could attack Crimea with non-nuclear weapons.

I'm afraid this discussion is getting too wide. I propose to return to Ukraine vs Cuba comparison.

In general, I do.

Like Cuba, Ukraine decided to be a threat to their neighbor. Unlike Ukraine, Cuban crisis had been resolved without war because Soviet Union agreed not to host their weapons in Cuba. Unfortunately, US didn't do the same in 2022.

Also don't blame communism or SU for the world instability, please. The world was "unstable" long before SU was created and it is still "unstable" long after SU passed away.

1. Ukraine has never had nuclear weapons under their control. Some bombs/warheads were stored there but they were unusable without secret codes controlled by Moscow.
2. There are lots of claims to Ukraine from both Russia and China. One of them is that Ukraine was unlawfully consuming Russian natural gas. Another is Motor Sich company that was bought by China and then nationalized by Ukraine.
3. Unlike Ukraine, problem of Soviet nuclear weapons in Cuba was resolved without war after Soviet Union agreed not to install their nuclear weapons there.

It's not only about money and development time, it's also about mass (AKA weight). You can only deliver the specific amount of equipment to the Moon by one rocket launch, and no more. If you add an arm, you have to remove something.

A refurb phone may be a good choice for a smart person but they will never get a significant market share due to limited supply.

"Ultra-fast" means, according to the article, 350 kW. All these 400 chargers will be able to give 140 MW of electricity. Caloric value of gasoline is about 45 MJ/kg. So, all this power is comparable with 5 liters of gasoline per second. Standard fuel pumps are able to give 50 l/min. So, all these "400 ultra-fast chargers" are equal to 6 standard fuel pumps or one small gas station.

It may not be easy to find a new job while being on call 24/7 and having no free time. This law will protect employees while they are trying to find a new job and break toxic relationships with their current bosses.

In 30 years, how many times did you start a new C project from scratch? If never, it's not a surprise you didn't have to reimplement everything because other people already did it for you.

The main news here is that Russia does package CPUs, and about a half of them are good.

To prove that fingerprints are not unique, we don't need "AI-based studies". We need to find two different fingers with identical fingerprints.No more, no less.

7,859.05 MHz means just 3.8 cm per cycle at the speed of light. It's less than the physical size of the CPU (37.5*45 mm). Amazing.

For me, win11 is as stable as win10. I'd suggest you to give win11 another chance with another hardware.
Anyway, "Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 release until October 14, 2025".

There are at least three advantages of eSIM:
1. They can be bought and delivered online.
2. They don't need a slot. So, the phone can be $1 cheaper and 2g lighter.
3. They can be easier to restore if lost. And they can be much easier to restore if lost abroad.

Firefox is good, and I'm using it, but it's actually time to switch to Win10+. Win7 is not supported anymore, it doesn't have security updates, and there is not much difference between win7 and win10 (or even win11, if your hardware supports it).

From 962 GW of the EU installed capacity, 388 GW are "combustible fuels" that suffer from the high fuel prices and lack of gas. Another 176+138=314 GW are wind+solar that can't work 24/7 (and you can't control it). Another 150 GW is Hydro that also can't work 24/7 (there is not enough water). What's left? 106 GW of Nuclear power.

What you really need is not "installed capacity" but "electricity production per year". In 2021, ZAES produced 36 114 GWh of electricity. It's ~1.3% of EU electricity production (2 781 332 GWh in 2020).

Note also that the main consumer of ZAES electricity was Ukraine, not EU. For them, ZAES produced about 20% of electricity.
