More of a generic answer as I don't know the situation there, so hopefully someone local will come around and chime in.

Unfortunately we live in a world where it doesn't take much money for the movie/music industry corporations to sway the politicians in any country.

So what may be legal today, could very well not be a week, month or year from now and you'd want to stay on top of news like that.

As a general rule of thumb, I'd suggest using a solid VPN, if you're uncertain about the consequences. I switched Mullvad (would I recommend it? Sure, but only if you're ready to actually pay for it) and used to use Nordvpn (it's ok, seems to have become bloated, but sometimes with cashback deals it's essentially free) and there are plenty more out there depending on your level of comfort in quality of service they actually provide.

Now if someone can confirm what the situation is actually like, it could be anything from "I'm gonna need a n-th NAS with xxx TB capacity to seed all this" through "oh no, another email from my ISP, I need to setup a filter to send these to trash directly" to "who's that knocking on my door at this time of the day". In the end it all comes down to your appetite for risk.

To a degree yeah, bunch of them made it to US and went unpunished and now spew this shit.
(edit: or obviously whoever heard them and thought "Hmm yes yes genocide and stuff great ideas dad/grandad/friend/whatever." Probably can't even specify if it's the Nazis or Russians since they would have rather worked together, until the backstab...

Introduce say...shall we call it CHIPS and Sciences Act 2 (milk that sequel).

More jobs in the semiconductor industry, microchips for everyone in the country to track them because everyone is evil, especially those darn foreigners.
Except you know it's none of that and it hides healthcare for everyone instead, and no politician would ever know because like why the fuck would actually read something and those who do, well I'm sure they'd understand the purpose.

Alrighty then, just need to wait for fucking novideo stock to get back to what I bought it at and I'll dump and switch (don't have anything spare to play around with sadly)

I hear you though, I also had(have?) similar physical effect on things like toys as a kid or some electronics since then....just brake shit randomly without trying, especially if I don't own it.

You guys want me to invest? I'm guaranteed to lower the stock value by ~30% within about a month with my shidas touch

I also wouldn't be surprised if a lot of companies are just going "fuck it wifi everything" which is probably ok for many regular office settings but I can't imagine any developers, data scientists/researchers/analysts being too happy about that. Even less so if they're expected to transfer/work with vast amounts of data.

Well then it seems like great propaganda to fuck with Russians..."oh you sending your pricey cruise missiles to kill our kids? Well you see our guys here will just shoot it down from the back of a pickup, at the cost of few bullets and call it target practice, no biggie"

What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
"they're wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better"?

Idiot couldn't handle his new toy in the rainy Metro Vancouver [OC]

Managed to hit the concrete barriers on both sides of a 3 lane highway. Luckily didn't hit anyone but traffic was about 3km long and hour later and caused another accident within the traffic jam itself.

Edit:grammar, and obligatory - I took the frame from my partner's video who captured it for me, as I was busy avoiding the debris scattered all over the highway trying not to get a puncture. I don't touch my phone while I drive, and hope you don't either.

Hmm, it's almost like we should focus considerably more on simple vehicles instead of complex subscription shit boxes that we have, to cut down cost of manufacturing/materials/parts/labour and now insurance...no big money in that though.

Or you know ...public transport is also pretty damn good option over any of this. Something drastic would have to change for trains/buses/etc to become commonplace in NA though, at least in some EU countries and a few other countries in the world there's a bit of hope.
