That depends.
My CEO turns every initialism into an acronym.
Did you know you can pronounce PCMCIA? Hearing that *will* give you a stroke.

It *is* strange.
What does "settings" even imply in this context?
Why the weird part about them accidentally testing with x86 binaries? (assumed, since the "fix" was to use Arm native)
How on FSM's green earth do these people consider themselves qualified to evaluate what is "possible" for some set of "settings" on a new piece of silicon?

This article was a pile of shit. Even if it ends up being completely accurate- the article is still a flaming pile of shit.

Ya, it's really fucking bad.
It screams like the kind of tortured logic someone who has been personally offended would employ.
I think this person is pissed off at QC, and they decided to lash out in an article, stretching what they really had to look as bad as possible.

I think the part that irked me, is that they even mentioned the part where they were testing x86 binaries at "SUB 50%".
Well no shit. That's a your bad. Maybe you should leave that out, because now it looks like perhaps you are trying to taint perception.

I know you were. That's why I said that they have working rockets, and nuclear warheads are far simpler devices.
Russia has demonstrated current development of advanced technology (including tactically deployed hypersonics), as well as a very cool Gen4 fighter jet.
This means it's unlikely that the technology to keep the warheads working (which really comes down to one thing- replacing them once they're past their expiration date) has been lost by them. It's further unlikely that they have let their nuclear deterrent turn into a bunch of fizzle/dirty bombs (though that's still plenty terrifying)

Russia has a lot of problems related to its cronyism. Keeping its weaponry functional hasn't been one of them. Production capability is obviously greatly limited (evidenced by the fact that they don't have hundreds of Su57s) but the ones they have are stellar.

Fallacious use of the term "ad hominem" means you've lost at fucking life.

Let's go over it.
The term "ad hominem", broadly meaning, "insult", does not in any way take from or add to an argument. It's merely syntactical sugar.
Trying to imply that it does, is fallacious reasoning, and means you're stupid.

Now, an ad hominem argument is a fallacious argument that uses the personal attack as a point in the argument.
Example: You're wrong, because you're a fucking moron.
Though I'm educated enough not to use that as an argument, I do suspect it's true regardless.

Nice try, dumbshit.

I find Jan 6 to be a tragedy. It's a sad thing to have happened in this country.

I'm particularly annoyed with the President at the time for fomenting it, when he knew it could grow out of control, which it did.
That being said, "no harm, no foul" should absolutely apply to those who didn't commit overt acts of violence or arguable overthrow of the government.
The people who were there with bad intentions, should be rounded up and assfucked with the law. The rest should be let off, and look at them as an example of why mobs are bad. That shit can grow out of control, and next thing you know, you've stormed Congress, and are looking for the fucking Vice President, and others involved with the function of transfer of power. For those who were there and peaceful, or even entered Congress and peaceful, just laughing like dumbshits through its halls, no harm, no foul. Enough heads are going to roll that yours don't need to as well.

I try to look at this entire thing from the perspective of, "What if I believed, no matter how stupidly, that an election had been stolen. What would be correct action be?"
And I keep coming back to: "Thinking that I'm empowered to overthrow the current fucking government is not it. That thinking does not scale. If it did, we've have an overthrown government every 4-8 fucking years."
I'm not a particularly political person. I'm a socially liberal minded person, but I don't identify with any political party. From my point of view, this entire thing is a fucking tragedy, and the politicians that fomented it are the most diseased form of human fucking filth there is.

Of course not.

There was a diverse group of people there, intention wise.
Some were there with the intent of forcing a regime change (overturning an election they saw as fraudulent, via extralegal means).
Some were there merely to disrupt in protest that varies from peaceful, to violent.
Some were there because it was a mob, and mobs are fun for pieces of shit.

The punishments should fit the crime, all crimes are based on intent.

Because people are fucking cowards.

Rockets are rockets.
Nuclear warheads plus rockets isn't an additional complication. ICBM RVs are a static load. That's why ballistic missiles existed long before any other kind of rocket to enter space.

You're an idiot.
Russia and the US regularly do ICBM test launches.
We notify each other when we do it, and when one fails, we love to broadcast it.
Russia's last launch was this month.

Solid fueled rockets that deploy a payload on a ballistic suborbital trajectory are simple devices.
There's very little to go wrong, and that's why they're used.

Thanks for sharing your dumbfuck opinion, though ;)

Ya, that just sets the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE\BypassNRO=1

That's what I meant- you have to break out of the OOBE, set a key (or run that program now, apparently), and then reboot.

Sure, each launch provided Russia with about 0.004% of its GDP.
Russia, like the US, utilizes solid-fueled ICBMs.

Russian birds are built to fight a war, just like ours were.
China, which has a no-first-use official nuclear doctrine, served just as a deterrent.

Re-run?
It won't let you get past it without a Microsoft account unless the registry keys are set....
I believe there's a program that'll do that for you, but you have to open a terminal during the OOBE to run it.

Nuclear weapons aren't more complicated than rockets. In fact, they're far simpler.
Despite the corruption, they're not having trouble getting rockets into space. I have no doubt their warheads, ICBMs, and RVs are in workable shape.

You're completely right.

However, I am however inclined to agree with the criticism invoked in the conservative Justices questioning.
The law is in fact written so broadly, that even a peaceful protest would be subject to this rather harsh penalty. That means the law itself is bullshit. If i were one of the fuckwits being charged with this shit, I'd want to attack it from this angle too.
