I think it's more fruitful to look at who benefits from the Ukrainian war.
Life for the average Ukrainian will not be radically different under Russian rule. Most of them will get up, go to work the same job they always have and funnel as much money as possible to those who already have it.
It just so happens that under Russian rule, Russian rulers will be making profit instead of Ukrainian rulers. The people actually fighting the wars never benefit and the ones who benefit never fight.
Personally, I've come to the conclusion that anyone who has the capacity and wisdom to know why wars are waged in the first place would never voluntarily fight in one.
It's reinforced my philosophical idea that wars are just a way for humanity to purge the worst of itself.
What was stopping Germany from simply buying oil from Russia?
It's all by design.
It's my understanding that backwards-compatible PS3s actually had PS2 hardware in them.
We can play PS2 and PS1 games if they are downloaded from the store, so emulation isn't an issue. I think Sony looked at the data and saw they would make more money removing backwards compatibility, so that's what they did.
Thankfully the PS3 was my last console before standards got even lower and they started charging an additional fee to use my internet.
They already have the advantage of not being Nvidia
That's just because they release worse products.
If AMD had Nvidia's marketshare, they would be just as scummy as the business climate allows.
In fact, AMD piggybacks off of Nvidia's scumbaggery to charge more for their GPUs rather than engage in an actual price war.
Owner of original 60gb PS3 here.
It got very hot and eventually stopped working. It was under warranty and I got an 80gb replacement for $200 cheaper, but lost out on backwards compatibility which really sucked because I sold my PS2 to get a PS3.
Why would they lay off their QA teams when its management and executives who make the decisions to cut corners?
I want to install Debian on the USB drive from my currently running OS, Manjaro Linux.
I don't want to have to boot from Debian installation media to install it on the USB drive.
