  • Regarding prices, one thing to consider is that even if a company has their chips produced in China, they had the costs of design and development, while Chinese just steal/copy those designs and therefore can sell them cheaper. I heard a joke long time ago from some hobby electronics nerd that went like “if you want your circuit board design etched for cheap, just send it to a Chinese manufacturer asking for a quotation, and a few weeks/months later you can buy your own PCB mass produced on AliExpress”, and I think that’s pretty accurate.





  • The 70s was before my time, I remember the Canadian flag thing though. But as I understood that’s more about not wanting to be associated with other American tourists who can behave quite obnoxiously when traveling in groups and taking full advantage of strong cheap local beers and the lower legal drinking age. There is and always was some degree of anti-americanism from the left, but on a political level and not something you’d have to worry about as an individual tourist. The headline is also a bit misleading in that sense, this “anti-americanism” is directed at Trump’s shenanigans, not random tourists.












  • In Firefox (other browsers probably as well) you can add custom keywords for searches. For example visit Wikipedia, right click the search field and pick “add keyword” from the menu. As keyword enter “!wiki” or whatever you want and from now on you can just type “!wiki whatever” in the URL bar, no need to take the detour to duckduckgo or some other search engine.
