Really fucking hard. Because they demand high power, and any repairs are insanely expensive.

Fucking idiots.

If your data is only in one place, you've already lost it.

Pretty sure he welded himself inside it.

Eh, Heemeyer was an asshole. He was given a few different perfectly reasonable resolutions and refused them all.

You, I ~~like~~ hate you.

"Basically." Close enough. All they're doing is administration, all the logistics and fulfillment is handled by someone else.

This is what happens when the people in charge of everything are entirely separated from reality.

The Chinese design-manufacturing-retail pipeline isn't like what it is in the West. There aren't nearly as many "bespoke" products made for a single company.

That's not how it works. Factory makes Thing. Anyone who wants to resell Thing buys it from the factory and labels it BRAND Thing.

The manufacturing environment in China is different. A lot of products are made from an existing design, then anyone who wants to sell those buys them from the factory.

The weird "brand names" are basically drop shippers. People buy Thing, send them to Amazon's warehouses, pop a storefront.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Ffs you don't do that shit from your own computer. You use a zombie.

Being at such a high altitude, the effects of gravity are less. This means that players will have a lesser risk of injury when they pretend to be injured.
