To enjoy it ay fullest
*at
kind of srs q: would you lads buy stuff from a chink co-op that paid their engineers and technician directly without some biznessmang douche middleman
and idk maybe some independent body that cryptographically signed off on inspections of fascilities
provided that everything was up to snuff
and regulations
and they woudl be willing to have you/somoene inspect it on your behalf
sure
i feel that it's likely inevitable given the kinds of horrible shit that happens now
but I mean, if it was any other kind of co-op, my answer would be the same
basically there's gotta be a better median between charging western markups on chinkshit and "copie the design for you cheap sir"
like i'd really not mind if they built higher quality chinkshit that wasn't pumped out at margin-preservation necessitated volumes
it's a waste of resources to filter things by price and have it shipped halfway across the world and get chink'ed
if we just said "yo take an extra 200% srsly and maybe test it please don't cut out the resistors in the original design kthx" maybe it'd be more bettar in the long run
ffs some 10% of the time I'm resoldering the crap I buy anyway
so
there are two autists or so in my IT lecture
who are literally being annoying the whole time
You're 1 of them, right?
no
:^)
Prof is like 'yeah blabla bytes and blabla' and they interrupt him and say shit like 'WELL in assembly its like...'
who fucking cares
oh fuck those people
Also they look like they never showered or cut their hair
they're basically insecure
fucking disgusting
and want intellectual validation
yea
they also refused to use whatsapp and created their own IRC channel
lel
100% original autists
they'll learn quickly once they graduate. hopefully
yea
they are like little RMSs
i personally am a little put off by the fact that what I'd consider "thoughtfulness" has been hijacked by people who basically are insecure and have OCD about their intellectual fiefdoms
it's one thing to remark on stuff like, the little numbers used for injection mold identification that appear on the bottom of lego pieces or something. it's another entirely to go on a huge spiel about injection molding technology completely unsolitcited
but most people lump all those folks together and so ya can't even be appreciative of little things anymore
for fear of being marked a goddamn autist or w/e
"know your audience" is all
