If only.

Now consider that Russia has had organized, global spy operations since Peter the Great.

Accurate transduction is vastly more challenging than accurate amplification.

Nope.

The differences between quality amplifiers is vanishingly small. And the closer to perfect they are, the more similar they sound.

Amps are one of the last places to spend your money when designing a home audio system.

In terms of sound quality importance the order is: speakers, room, source, amp, interconnects.

Well, at least that .25W sounds awesome.

I'm 10 years into a rather cheap set of glass containers with plastic lids that I got at Costco for less than $20. Just checked the brand and they are Pyrex. All lids and containers still going strong, and that is with regular 3-hour dishwasher cycles that include a heat-dry cycle at the end. Any warpage on the lids has been slight and has not affected closure or seal at all.

I can recommend the Pyrex ones, at least the set they sell at Costco.

LOL. China doesn’t have anything close to the tech to do what ASML was doing 5 years ago, let alone what they are doing currently.

China can’t control ASML and China cannot become ASML.

Even if China did find a way to create their own fabs and replace ASML domestically that would not make them the sole source of advanced semiconductors. ASML would still exist and would still be more advanced than the (currently fictional) Chinese alternative.

And of course, even if you can somehow design the lithography machines you also need to design the advanced chips themselves. China has neither skill set or technology currently.

This comment directly contradicts itself.

So they want “everything to everyone” with “no one to be able to control the production” of semiconductors but they also “want a monopoly on the machines that do the production”

China has literally no means to control ASML. You don’t seem to know what you are talking about

LOL

The number of advanced weapons systems with displays “that barely qualify as HD” and have less than 32 GB of storage is pretty huge.

Imagine thinking that being permanently 10 years behind in tech rather than right on the forefront meant your nation was now stronger.

Even in this absurd scenario why would China want the chips manufactured in Russia rather than domestically?

I have zero need for HD resolution on my phone or 32 GB of storage. The cloud is a thing.

I didn’t know this device existed but now I am considering one.
