That knowledge is completely useless now.

It could help. Mandatory service typically gets you young people straight from school. That means you need to train them. To be good at cybersecurity and cyber warfare takes years though. Not something you can teach over the course of a year of service.

For some it's an ambition, but not a priority. Germany simply doesn't pay skilled people enough to serve as cyber soldier.

no moving parts

Mechanical bells in phones were nice. If you slammed the phone on the receiver you would get a nice ring from them.

People also didn't own the phones themselves. They were usually rented from the phone company as part of the service contract. So the phone companies had an incentive to buy sturdy equipment. Consumers buying things for themselves often buy the cheapest they can, resulting in lower quality. Yes, lots of products today are worse than they could be, consumer demand for cheap devices plays a role here as well.

microwave ovens

There are only a handful of companies making the core component magnetrons. Various brands just package it differently.

My Bosch vacuum cleaner is 11 years old and works great. The only problem it has is weaker cable retraction. My Bosch washing machine is 7 years old and works fine. My Samsung fridge is 5 years old and great. My Miele dishwasher is at least 15 years old and works great. My no name brand cheap toaster is 17 years old and works great. So from personal experience, I think this is acceptable.

Bakelite is plastic

Yes, the usability and affordances are worse.

Landline phones were mostly plastic and took lots of abuse for years just fine.

These guys wore safety gear and were strapped in. Read tha article

Few countries have sanctions against Israel.

Most of Europe and India are on good terms.

Israel already won against their neighbors and Iran in this war.

The main impediment to Israeli military operations are morale and manpower of the soldiers. Reservists aren’t showing up as they used to. They are tired, some opposed to the war.

The reservists serving had their lives on hold and their businesses fail. It’s not sustainable. It’s impacting the economy as well.

The IDF is overextended or will be soon. It’s a people‘s army with everyone serving. Refusal to serve has forced political change before.

Netanyahu isn’t secure in his power either. If the Shin Bet and army don’t agree with his policies, a government crisis is possible. Elections are expected over the next year as well.

Both lived and were not seriously injured.

Smotrich is a horrible person. He and Ben Gvir want ethnic cleansing.

Atari and Amiga were sooooo good at the time. It’s a shame Microsoft and Apple won in the end. These machines were so much better technologically, power, and usability wise.

I plaid lots of LucasArts adventures on these

Is the Soviet science fiction film you should watch.

The whole suite is great.

The short duration is also an advantage. Meth is much more of time commitment.

Legalization also requires regulation. Restrictions on advertisement and sales would be sensible.

The quality levels can be quite different though. If legalized there would also be a market for organic fair trade cocaine and similar marketing techniques.

Or drinks and candy laced with cocaine, cocoa leaf tea, and so on.

A centralized platform providing infrastructure could be financed using a tax on every internet subscription.
