They see like this all the time.

  • First off, I love that these people always assume everyone that criticizes Chinese lack of involvement is automatically from the US.

    Second off, it feels more and more to be completely ok on here to be an armchair revolutionary, so long as you are outside the US. In their minds, the handful of US communists don't deserve opinions because they aren't willing to run outside and immediately get themselves shot by our fascist police force, which has a budget large enough to make itself the third largest military on the planet.

    The best US communists can do right now is ride the momentum and use it to convert people. Or at least open their minds.

  • All participants are Cuban nationals residing in the United States.

    So, traitors.

  • The program is free for home use just limited in functionality but I have never needed more than what it offers.

  • I remember seeing this picture years ago and people saying it was a whole lot of airsoft gear.

    Not that I'm sure their aren't cartels out there with legit gear funded by CIA, but that this picture is not.

  • Where is the downside?

    Hundreds, thousands, and more innocent dead Iranians. Potential world war and nuclear armageddon.

  • It's literally designed to work that way with a NAS or other external server but you can use it with any drive you want as well.

    You set a "job" and how often to run it. You set what kind of backup, full system, specific drives, os drive/partition, etc.. Then you pick the location and frequency. All of it. Then just save the job and it will run it automatically. It will make one main backup, then incremental backups where it just saves what has changed. So you have multiple save points if something happens.

  • How many advanced warships has China built in the time the US has failed to fix the plumbing on a single vessel?

  • Listen, if you use a PC at all. Make backups. It doesn't matter the OS. Make backups.

    There is a program called "Veeam," it's the most black magic bullshit level program for making backups I have seen. Get the free personal version of the program. Back up everything. It's so easy to use that really there's no excuse.

    They most amazing part is, you make backup of you existing machine, you can use that to install on a new one super easily. Veeam wipes /preps the drivers so you can install the OS onto a new PC. I dabble in IT on the side and I no longer do windows installs. I have a veeam backup of a premade, base PC that I then use on new builds. It loads the OS with all the programs people usually want/need already ready to go. No fuss. I keep the base PC updated but not used or personalized. Periodically remake the backup so new installs don't have to be updated.

    The most insane shit though, is the speeds. If you are installing an OS from a SSD to an SSD, you can load and have a 2tb backup on a working computer in... 15 minutes. 15 fucking minutes. Granted that's in part of SSD speeds but even then. To have a fully functional and operating OS, with programs and settings ready to go, installed from bare metal in 15 minutes, is crazy.

  • China's PC component sales can't "eat" into what doesn't exist. Western parts producers don't care about selling to the rest of the world. It's all being bought up by AI and data centers. They just want to make sure the population can't get any tech for themselves. They want all of it to be on a rent basis. They don't want people to have access to their own PCs and devices. They want them to have to pay for space on a data farm where they can log and control all the information.

    So just like the cars, the Chinese components will be banned in the west, or be hit with extreme tariffs. Primarily the US.

  • And all of them will get banned or tariffed to hell so western consumers can't have access. Because that would cut into the oligarchies plan of preventing regular people from owning tech.

  • I tried to convince a person I know is a liberal today that like, changing the "current regime" in the Whitehouse will not stop what is happening and that this shits not gonna just get better and there no "weathering this crazy phase."

    And it basically made me realize that.... We're doomed. These fucking people. They will just pretend like everything is fine until they are being shoved into an incinerator. They really just cannot fathom that things won't just "be ok." It honestly was part of what spawned my entire rant here.... I just.... How? How can people be so god damn delusional? I am actually going insane. I can feel my mental faculties snapping a little bit more every time I interact with them.

  • There is an epidemic of "someone will do something and save us, we just have to hold out." Across so much of the people I see. On here. On Reddit. IRL. And it need to be broken. Shit is bleak and I'm tired of seeing people hide from it. The world is bleak and it's abandoned Palestine and nothing is more awful and disgusting than that. Nothing is more enraging that people not accepting what is happening. Thinking it'll all be ok. It's fucking not. No one is coming to save them, no one is coming to same us. We have to save ourselves, and maybe, if we hit enough people in the face with that, we won't be alone in doing so. People need a wake up call. People need to top hiding from it.

    And Israel will absolutely nuke Gaza on its way out. It's one of many reasons no one will do anything. China isn't going to get itself nuked over it. They aren't stupid. I am not in the "China bad because do nothing" crowd. I get it. And I accept the bleakness. The world leaders have pretty much quietly accepted they will let Palestine die to prevent global nuclear war. My gripe isn't that China isn't doing anything. They do what they can. I am sure of that. It's that damn I could go without seeing shit like their ambassadors going on about how great their trade relations are with Isn'treal and how great partners they are and all that shit. And I can see why people form the opinion that they are just sipping mimosas while all this goes on.

  • My issue wasn't that China isn't doing anything. I get it. I wouldn't get my countrymen in a war, and probably nuked unless there was no other possible option. Certainly not when Isn'treal would just nuke Gaza on its way out anyway. It would be starting WW3 and not actually save anyone in the process. But damn some of the optics and statements they make really make you feel disheartened, and pissed off. When I see big statements by the ambassador praising their trade relations and how they are such good partners and yada yada, it can get rather infuriating. "Oh, so glad you got those priorities right there buddy. So glad you are such happy trading partners with the genocidal child rapists. Good for you."

    Imagine your neighbor is regularly beating their wife and raping their kid in front of the whole neighborhood and then you make a comment at how great their last BBQ was. That's what it feels like and IDC what people say or how they justify it. It's fucking sucks and I will say it fucking sucks.

  • This would involve an immediate reaction by the west and probably end up being almost as bad as taking physical action in the long run. It would only really hurt China and China isn't going to take actions that hurts itself. It's not in their playbook.

  • Part of me wants a little service robot, but also I hope they never sell or share this tech with the west cause they will just make them into murder bots to kill all of us.

  • Yeah I feel like, BE's takes on China are pretty shit on the regular but honestly I would be lying if I said I didn't feel like this sometimes. Most leftists on this site have agreed at one point or another that China's international policies have a history of being.... Not the best, but the second you criticize the lack of any real support for Palestine, all of a sudden you get a 10 pages essay about why their strategy of inaction is 10D chess and how they have to keep doing business with Israel and having their politicians literally praise trade deals with them in order to somehow eventually prevent the single last Palestinian child from being murdered.

    Like we get it, they can't really do shit because the west, and none of us is ready to die in nuclear hellfire. It's the simple truth, but damn if they don't make it come off like they really just don't give a single shit about stopping it.

    As bleak as it is, in my personal opinion, Palestine is doomed. The world will fail to do anything till it's too late for them. The only powers that CAN stop it, have all but blatantly admitted they won't. I know this will piss a lot of people off, and we should all still support them to the last, but I just don't see this genocide being stopped in time.

  • Ghost (missile) of Kiev strikes again.... Or not.

  • Either way is still impressive honestly.
