That's the point, the chinese may not be able to offer the highest absolute performance but they can certainly compete on price, while providing good enough performance.

Bigger and noisier fans won't deter people, especially if it's cheaper.

The wii was not cutting edge when it came out, it still sold well.

No recent consoles have been cutting edge on release, it's always been possible to build a more powerful computer. The console just packages things up into a convenient form with guaranteed compatibility and possibly a subsidised price because they expect to profit from the games rather than the hardware.

The car can alert you when charging is complete, and i believe the charging standards include communication between the charger and car, so there's nothing to stop the charger sending information to the car which it then relays to you.

Having to register with multiple public charging services because you don't know which brand is going to be at whatever random location you visit is an unwelcome inconvenience. Pairing your phone to the car you drive every day is something you'll probably do anyway even in a traditional gas car.

EVs make brake dust too, in some cases more of it because they're heavier. Regenerative braking reduces that under normal driving, but hybrids have that too.

There are also particles from the tires, which again EVs produce more of due to their weight.

Fumes vary by vehicle, there has been too much focus on co2 (which is naturally occurring, odorless and harmless unless there's so much of it that it displaces oxygen) and less on the other unpleasant fumes that vehicles can produce. In many places this caused a shift towards diesel vehicles which produce less co2, and more unpleasant things like soot and sulfur dioxide.
But vehicles typically operate outdoors or in highly ventilated spaces, so the actual amount you have to breathe in is relatively small. Larger vehicles like buses tend to produce significant more fumes, and these tend to operate on streets with more pedestrians.

Replacing all vehicles with electric ones is currently not practical, and certainly can't happen over night. And even if it did, those vehicles need to be built and the power to operate them needs to be generated somehow, and that currently still includes a lot of coal, gas or oil.

Fumes from smokers are worse than vehicles. At least vehicles serve a purpose, and there often isn't a viable alternative to them. Smokers often pollute enclosed spaces.

I'm not talking about replacing these systems now that you're locked in... You're already screwed and its your own fault.
I'm talking about the mistakes you made when buying these systems in the first place.

If you're going to be spending millions to buy something, there is always room for negotiation with the seller. If you intended to use that product for 20 years, why did you let the supplier get away with using components that are only supported for 5 or 10? You want my $10 million you'd better provide me guarantees of long term support or someone else will.

There are several chinese linux distributions, being open source they can't be cut off by sanctions. Linux also provides support for several chinese processors. These distros are no worse than western ones - most of them are based on western ones with a few tweaks for the chinese language and defaulting to local search engines etc.

The processors currently being produced in china may well be behind the cutting edge, but processors have been adequate for day to day use for years. The vast majority of users don't buy cutting edge equipment, they buy stuff slightly less powerful that's a lot cheaper. China is already more than capable of producing equipment of this level at a competitive price.

Games consoles are not cutting edge hardware, they're a static target for several years. The chinese could easily produce something performance and pricing equivalent to a ps5.

Assaults on motorbikes are more effective against drones than tanks - smaller more agile targets.

Both sides have drones, and both sides are innovating - eg russia were first with tethered fibre optic drones that are immune to jamming and provide much clearer video of the target.

The russians may not be advancing very quickly, but the ukrainians are not advancing at all. They don't have the manpower or equipment to launch any significant assaults against the russian defensive lines.

Both sides are being propped up by support from their allies, but UA are losing their biggest ally and it's not clear if the others will be able to fill the void.

The soviet union, not russia.
A lot of those who fought the germans were from other soviet states. Now the other states like belarus and kazakhstan are sitting it out, and ukraine is on the other side.

They are breaking even in replacements, but those are not all new tanks - many are refurbished old models. Most of the soviet stockpiles were not operational and required varying levels of repairs before they could be used.
There are reports saying they're building around 90 new T-90 tanks every year.

The refurbishment rate is slowing down as they have burned through the stocks in reasonable condition, and are having to refurbish ones which are in terrible condition from years of neglect, or repair battle damaged ones.

UA also had a reasonably large stockpile of soviet tanks at the start of the war.

Assaults on bikes actually make a lot of sense.
The war is being fought with drones, and tanks/APCs are large slow moving targets that give you plenty of time to react to their advance and are very easy to hit with drones.
Bikes are faster, can more easily evade enemy attacks, gives the enemy less time to respond, can travel through areas that would be impassable for tanks, are much easier to field in large numbers to dilute enemy fire/attention, and if one does get hit it's a much smaller loss.

Assuming you have a gun, and that it's both loaded and functional.

You shoot your commander then you won't be safe in russia, your only hope at that point is that you can surrender to the enemy and get taken as a prisoner. Only the russians see how their own side treats prisoners, and their propaganda convinces them that the enemy is even worse, so the idea of surrendering is very unattractive to most.

Self preservation... There's always a chance you'll be rescued, or get an opportunity for escape - especially if you're digging slowly.

Can't play call of duty on your playstation any more? Come and play for real. Your family gets a free bag of potatoes when you die.

Depends on the terrain, obstacles, weather, distance, what you have to carry etc. Bikes are often not suitable.
You don't want to arrive at work sweaty, and there might not be a facility for you to have a shower.
You don't want to ride to work in the dry, only for it to be raining heavily when you're planning to leave.
If you have to carry heavy/bulky items a bike is not a good fit.
Riding a bike can often be dangerous, or prohibited - eg highways, some tunnels etc.

WSLv1 was.
WSLv2 is just a vm running in hyper-v with some paravirt hooks to allow better integration with the host, similar to what vmware or parallels has had for years.
