One of the reasons immigrants focus a lot on education is because it can't be taken from you. They can take your money, they can take your house, your land and everything else, but what you know will always be with you, and that's valuable.
Not that tests actually prove your knowledge in any way, but still.
The ease of use of the Steam Deck cannot be overstated. Yes you can tinker with it a bunch but if you just want to play your games, you download and play. The windows handhelds will never be as easy since windows is just crap for this (and MS is not interested in improving).
If you mean the switch, then it has been thoroughly squashed. If you mean phones, well I think we can agree they are not really competing for the same customers, and if you think they do, most people are buying phones for reasons other than gaming. So you'd need a way to section the market for "gaming phones" (yes, that's a thing).
NATO has been encircling Russia for decades. You just want to justify it as "people choosing democracy" when the fall of USAID and NED just shows that they were regime change operations orchestrated by the US. If peace was the point, the Minsk agreements would have been respected. If saving lives was the point, the UK wouldn't have told Zelensky to fight a war they couldn't win. Nothing about this conflict has been about ukrainian interests. It always was and still is about russian and american interests. You want to argue that what Russia is doing is imperialism, but it is the US that wishes to balkanize the country, and THAT is actual imperialism. But of course that wouldn't bother you.
Are you arguing that doing everything the US wants, to the point of signing away 50% of every cent made from your natural resources, some sort of freedom? The fact of the matter is that neutrality suited the people of Ukraine very well, but not NATO.
It just goes to show how out of touch I am. It didn't even cross my mind that there would be an app to file your taxes, even though it makes perfect sense.
The average non-tech person only has a phone. And maybe a shared family notebook if at any point someone needed a computer for things that you can't do on the phone (like filing taxes and such).
What usually happens in China is that, if the accused cooperates, their death sentence is commuted to life imprisonment. Otherwise they are indeed executed.
