The only true china original I use is a thermal camera. 3D printer too I guess, but it's running open source firmware.
US market thermal cameras are capped to 9 FPS and dogshit resolution by law if they're to be exported, which all consumer ones are. Chinese ones are a fraction of the price and usually 25 FPS.
I went for a USB-C one, which presents itself as a webcam so it can be used even if I don't want to use their software (there are thirdparty open source programs available). The phone app kinda weirds me out so I disallowed it from running in the background, and only run it in airplane mode. The only thing I found when decompiling it was ordinary analytics, but still.

>>109277083
Why that restriction still exists I don't understand. Maybe it made sense when only western countries were capable of making decent thermal cameras, but all it accomplishes now is letting china take the market with no competition. Major self own.

None. I don't use low quality crap.

PRO TIP: every single country's economic state has an explanation that can be attributed to it, much like communism, it doesn't change the fact that was stated above. It's not like poor countries are like that because they are subhumans, there's usually explanations for it and where the government / ideology failed. Lithuania was the poorest shithole in Europe, and now it's doing alright, and that's not because the quality of people living there changed, but because they joined the EU and with that changed their institutions, and also adopted a free market economy. Cope and seethe.

>>109280189
>i guess the eu doesn't change institutions
The prerequisite to joining the EU is a bunch of government reforms, i.e. changing the way the institutions work. Every single prerequisite is concerned with that. There is no other demand, they are not asking you to meet a certain "rich" threshold, they are simply asking you to make institutional reforms akin to the EU's.

The vast majority of those left right as it joined, as, like I said, all the EU does is demand a bunch of government and economic reforms, it doesn't mean success overnight, but it means improvement overnight. It is not going to equalize the standard of living overnight, so many Lithuanians left for the UK to work once they joined the EU. But now, there's not really much incentive for them to leave anymore, as things really have improved substantially in the last 20 years almost entirely thanks to the EU.

That changes nothing about what I had said. The EU's primary purpose is to equalize institutions and demand reforms from member states. It is an ideological and economic union.

It didn't fail at all. It implemented a bunch of reforms within Romania, and that gypsy country benefited a ton from those reforms. Romania having been allowed to join before completing those reforms doesn't refute my initial statement, as this was a geopolitical and strategic decision, and as they ended up making those reforms anyway.

There is nothing else that the EU demands from potential member states. All the prerequisites are simply reforms that equalize it ideologically with the rest of the union. It doesn't ask them to have a certain level of development, it doesn't ask them to have a certain GDP per capita, all it asks is that it reforms its government akin to the EU standards. So, you've been wrong, and you will now seethe and never admit you're wrong because it's in your shitskin nature.

GDP means what it means, what it is defined as and it serves that purpose well as a metric. GDP has an extremely high correlation with every other positive metric of well-being and how well people are doing, including wages.

I could argue with you further, but after realizing you don't even know the definition of what you're arguing, and after considering just how unintelligent, annoying, and rude you are, I will simply call you brown and not waste any more time on you.

alright you fucking retard, GPT per capita is the wrong number to use here, because russia extracted and sold billions of USD of oil, but money went into putin's pocket and the entire regime machinery.
So GPT per Capita measures economic output divided by population, not how much income or wealth the average person actually has.


typical single use russian never saw or benefitted from that money, the better number to use is, there is also a massive factor here called Moscow, moscow is like its own separate country, you literally cannot be there without a concept of `pacпopяжeниe` basically if you are a piece of shit russian from buryatia or whatever the fuck other asshole and you show up in Moscow, and a police asks you for your documents, if you do not have `pacпopяжeниe` of some kind, or the most basic type would be proof of moscow residency, you will literally be detained or fined

now that you understand how different Moscow is, you need to further understad that whole russian economy business is concentrated in moscow, which naturally causes population explosion, officially about 22 million people, and due to `pacпopяжeниe` issues the true number is around 25-27 million, thats like 17-20% of whole russian population, paying same rent as in NYC, getting paid relatively similar salaries as in NYC, driving cars same as people in NYC.

But this grossly skews and inflates the numbers
