Right, they’re even holding elections there!

Those people are so weird.

Oh thanks for clarifying this. I thought Square as in “don’t be a square” and POS for well, “piece of shit”.

Global users can unlock Xiaomi phones, but have to jump through more hoops and deal with restrictions. For example, there now seems to be a daily limit on how many devices their server accepts to unlock. Took me three tries to be successful in the “first come, first serve” line.

Afaik, Chinese users are now dependent on paid services to unlock their phonew for them. How they get around the official restrictions? I don’t know.

More recent Xiaomi phones for the Chinese market have locked bootloaders. Their European counterparts can still be unlocked, but they have tightened that as well, supposedly because the CCP told them to.

I

I, too, hate them with a passion.

Imagine what the 787 would look like if they strapped guns to it, A-10 style.

You’re taking about Russia, right?

Fuck no.

I wouldn’t put WW1 Germans and WW2 Germans in the same category. Yes, there was a good amount of nationalism in WW1 Germany, but they were hardly special in that regard.

Seems a little steep to me, even with the improvements they claim to have made. It’s a great game tho.

Oof.

That statement is not true and it never was.

What

I am the walrus.

I respect the guys that drive garbage trucks, buses and mbulances tremendously. Also those that clean public spaces, make sure the sewers work and my lights turn on at night. The investment banker that makes tons of cash? Not so much.

Those were so much fun. My girlfriend was not much of a gamer when we met, and those levels taught her the ways of the gamepad and the basics of timing you need for those games. 11 years later, we still play the music levels, especially “Castle Rock” with Ram Jam’ Black Betty.
