It is a mistake to think that Russia is on their "side". They are interested in conflict, not one side winning over the other.

The question here I guess is, which is more "evil"? No access, or censored access? I just got back from China, and having to use Bing felt wrong.

Sure, if you want a project rebuilding an old Amiga is fun. But then you start looking at spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on upgrades and it just gets silly. If your goal is to run Amiga OS and games, the best middle ground seems to be a dedicated FPGA system. Lets you use old accessories etc, only thing they tend to be missing is a floppy drive, which frankly I can do without... most "new" Amiga systems end up replacing the floppy with a flash drive anyhow.

Thus the FPGA systems like MiST etc. Physical joystick ports, dedicated hardware, can be used for other things and much cheaper than a used Amiga much less a new one.

Ah, never mind. I see this is about the same stuff as last time (Apollo etc). Sure, you could spend a bunch of money on a "new" Amiga, but at the end of the day it seems simpler to just run an emulator or FPGA system (I went with the later).

Sorry, but our internet is REALLY bad here. Will work well in China and any other country that has actual competition and infrastructure. But here we have monopolies and still consider DSL an option.

Do we really think the cable companies care, so long as we're still paying them for the internet access? They have a monopoly no mater how you look at it.

It's even easier to scoff at a car named tiny tits.

and if it passes the legal challenges from the Trump administration, since part of the repeal of Net Neutrality was a prohibition against states from creating such laws.

Strange, I find a monthly cost that you can't really get out of, constant maintenance and regulations, etc to be the opposite of freedom.

Don't live where there are hurricanes, problem solved.

I only need a car once or twice a year, so I just rent one. Seems pointless to own a car.

You know... I plumb forgot I used Kenja as my alias here. But no, that's not me. I think I got the name from the old anime Peacock King.

Or do people just not care enough to exploit it on Microsofts browser?

Some sort of platform, that advertises that they can rapidly add servers to your platform, they could call it the Awesome Web Services platform or AWS for short!
