That fine is a stupid fucking joke amount. It's not even enough to make Google flinch.

"This isn't a meaningful measure of anything.
Naval wars are not won with tonnage."
They are won largely with numbers, but you ignored that part.
Anyway wars between superpowers are going to be won with drones in the future (as they are shaping up to be already) and nobody has more manufacturing than China.
There is no such thing as "the Ukraine" which is a Russian propaganda term, just Ukraine. But I guess you already knew that, Ivan.
They had good design too, though the last really good design was the 80486. After that it was a bunch of pumping watts for performance, until they got to compromising security for performance.
Solar plus battery is cheaper than a new coal plant.
Again, why don't you know any actual facts?
Sorry you only know about trolling. Maybe you could branch out and learn some other things, possibly through personal experience. Maybe your mom will let you out of her basement if you ask nicely.
It's real obvious from the public statements, unless the truth is even more cynical.
... transparency solved!
History teachers can get arrested in FL for pointing out LGBTQ+ people exist.
'Murican English is best, everyone says so, believe me!
That's why they need to keep the birthrates up.

Rumors such as Xi is a ruthless dictator.

> Or, buy and download a song in an electronic format, which will then be lost if I have a disk crash? Again, no thanks.
Unfortunately this seems to be the way the world is going. I do recommend doing two things: creating a media server of some sort, and keeping it in a back-up schedule.
(Disk media isn't immune from problems either, I'm finding a large number of DVDs I have suffer disk rot, probably because WB cheaped out in the mid-2000s)
Back-ups aren't hard these days. Use older, disused, hard drives of the kind you probably have a pile of anyway because you're a Slashdotter, and a device like this:

This is something that means you can treat SATA drives the same way you did floppies back when we used REAL computers.
Second advantage of this is that you can save everything, including the time you'd otherwise need to re-rip your entire media collection if it fails. I've learned the hard way that's not as easy as it sounds.
