- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 2 weeks ago:
You think the customers would be happy paying 1500$ in US and 1000$ after stepping outside US borders?
Trumps shit tariffs will be gone soon enough, hopefully with him.

Using 1080 to minimize latency already. Can play lesurely platformers, but even playing arcade racing games like Wreckfest, you just lose all feel for the car since tapping the controller applies the change with too much delay.
Hardwiring would be the only way. That’s why I’m gonna build a steam os pc for the living room once it’s feasible.

BT would work if my PC was in range, then the input would be fast, but still the added image latency makes micro adjustments pain since you see them late, still.
Running a DP cable instead of streaming would fix that, but you’d need a converter to transform into HDMI for the TV.
HDMI over long distance doesn’t work.

1: Ah, I didn’t do any console gaming from around 2009 to 2015, didn’t realize it was that bad
2: Works for some games. I play lots of driving and fast paced games, and the input latency from streaming just plain makes them unplayable.

Exclusives sadly still exist and it bums me out a game is available on Console X but not on Y. Some if those I can buy for my PC, but I prefer playing on my comfy couch instead of the PC in my home office.

If I have none, clearly I have to mine more with my GPU.

Being all out of fucks to give also implies they are finite and exchangeable.

- Comment on Norway is mulling building a fence on its border with Russia, following Finland's example 6 months ago:
The fence has been effective ever since it was put up, not sure what you are on about.

I thought you just said the issue the government needed to solve was random people wandering across the border without realizing it.
Sorry, that was badly worder. What I meant was that migrants were able walk over the border from wherever, whenever. It wasn’t a huge issue historically, we’re talking about a few dozen people a year maybe, because the border area is so rural, so not many asylum seekers dared to trek there. To do so, would have required ample provisions and good clothing. Surveilled fences solved that issue.
Things however changed early this year:
1. We noticed a new phenomen, asylum seeker numbers at border crossings suddenly skyrocketed. Soon enough reporters and were noticing military transports bringing people from other parts of Russia to towns closer to our borders. Some immigrants were also pushed towards crossing the border illegally, at the southern area.
2. It was confirmed that Russia was providing transportation to scores of Somalian and Syrian migrants, pushing them to seek asylum from Finland, in an effort to destabilize us, and cause issues at the border.
3. Many of those asylum seekers went into hiding after being granted entry, something normal asylum seekers seldom do, as we have good social benefits systems in place that help asylum seekers a fair chance to restart their lives. The fear was that those disappeared people were Russian agents, and indeed random ifrastructure sabotaging has increased radically following the project by Russia. The worries we had turned out to be correct.
4. These migrants, in interviews, stated that they weren’t actively trying to seek asylum in Finland - Russia had pushed them to the border. They were loaded in trucks from south and east Russia, then taken closer to Finnish borders. It’s been reported that Russia even providing them with bicycles to make the final stretch.
Enter today: A few new laws and improved fences are in place now. Both plug the loopholes used by Russia. We have now laws in place to stop the phenomenon, legally, at the border, and we also have more time to respond and catch the ones who attempt an illegal border crossings.
And now, how this all ties into the news article in this thread: After all the changes we made, the next loophole they started to utilize was pushing people to Norway first, and from there on forwards. Norway is now waking up to the same reality that affected us earlier this year, and thus are starting on the same path.
It’s not all in attempt to just cause issues with Finland, getting into the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area easily and then having easy time to get deeper into EU is one of the things their saboteurs are utilizing.

The point of mentioning the road crossing points were that those places are reinforced, and yeah, it’s silliness to attempt it there, leaving no possible places to take a truck over the border due difficulty terrain - we’re talking about migrants here, not soldiers.
They aren’t using vehicles, the russians provided migrants bicycles to get to the crossing points when they had the “flood our border with immigrants” operation active some months ago.
That leaves us with one large issue to cover: people traversing the foresty areas by foor, attempting to slip in undetected. That’s where the fence comes in - they can obviously get over it, but it’s a slowing measure. The fence also contains alarm systems and surveillance, so that our border patrol can then pinpoint where they are needed ASAP.
The border patrol people themselves wanted this, and it’s been working well.

Here’s something for you to think about when making these silly drive over the fence remarks:
