Always a silver lining when intentions become clear. We now know what Zuks sailors think of other sailors ... not explorers of the deep, but enemies ! Think about:  Athenian fleet meets  Xerxes, and drive Dodona oak spears  into Persian eyes ... British  Nile-fleet meets Brueys and drive Scottish cannon-balls into French breasts. So Zuks "fleet"  follows a long and glorious history of savage disdain. Now ... finally ...  do you wonder how Zuks "sailors" behave "in port " ?

Yes ... 100% completely. The question is not   of fact , but of possibilities. Any ( strategic ) foreign manufacture increases the importers threat-surface. With good-will that makes no difference. But ... and you can deduce from my sig ... only self-interest not good-will exists among nation-states. Foreign manufacture is an unforced error-of-security , valuing convenience above lowed risk.  REM/// only the paranoid survive. EOF.

Recent Brit governments/media have been unabashed Marxist/Trotsky-slut/globalist oriented . Something about white guilt  and OxBridge sodimitry. The same impulse that prompted 1950s  Brits to give jet-engine technology to  Russian kommi "brothers" even now prompts  backdoor  tek leaks to Russian/Chi.com handlers. It's top-down Quisling behavior. Really sucks that a mongrelized Brit culture bends over to be fucked and fucked again by enemies of Angle-Saxon provenance. Perhaps the remaining minority of ASN-Brits can take a lesson from IRA history ... gawd knows there are plenty of  Texas gun-shops ready to export insurgent small-arms.

Allowing all capitol to be sucked-up by one investment trope begs for disaster. The investment  landscape is distorted ... like a swale  distorted by a flash-flood ... into planning for a singular future no matter how the path trends. Remember how the Eisenhower road build-out  --- promising vast transportation benefits --- encouraged mafia-like contractors, cut communities in half and isolated  stone cities from living suburbs. WE ( citizens ) do not NEED LLM.AI on colossal scale. Most are better without it ... like high-value townships  the freeways skipped by.  So ... just say no.

Comment Re:Opposition to Democratization of Surveillance? (Score 1) 72

The United States is a republic: not an monarchy, not a democracy, not an oligarchy.  Federal government has only those powers explicitly granted to it by our Constitution. Universal surveillance W/O warrant  is NOT one of those powers. So any government agency  -- including subsidiary governments like state/county/city -- installing such cameras violates the Constitution. The officials & the cameras violate the law. Any citizen destroying / disabling  those cameras acts legally as a citizens militia. Of-course the government gun-barrel ( FBI / cops  / HLS  / etc ) express a disconcerting power-lust. So did King George ... that's why  WE have a 2nd Amendment ....   nuff said.

Comment Re:Can you re-use old DDR3 or DDR4? (Score 1) 133

Not all of us upgrade frequently.  I run a XEON 1240 with 24-Gig DDR3 ram < 2x8 + 2x4 >. The motherboard  ( MSI z77a-GD55 ) can take 32gig. The DDR3 ram pairs have yet to come under price pressure and ... after all a XEON is a XEON : rated for 3.4 GHz,  it runs up to 4.5  Gig whenever it feels like. Wish I would have "splurged" on  < dirt cheap > 32-Gig Crucial ram and snagged a XEON 1270.
