i particularly love the post-apocalyptic computer setup. utterly un-identifiable russian microcomputer clone, giant battletank cathode-tube tektronix oscilloscope, full-height floppy drive sideways up on the shelf -- was this shot in the 80s or 90s? if that's what russian professors get for a computer today, well, poor bastards anyways, bottom line: sometimes it's easier to build a mechanism to do something than it is to do it yourself, even if you live in the gulags. |

i have to admit being both american and a propellerhead leads to a bit of schadenfreude when it comes to russia and technology. have a look at their top-notch shit: , intented to replace untrustworthy foreign mikrochip with glorious russian CMOS. they're up to 800mhz in 2016, and the shit rolling off the line now is around 1.3ghz. welcome to a decade ago, russia! manufacturing process? ahaha... again, welcome to 2004. gives me a hearty lol that russia issues press releases trumpeting it: hey, look, see, we've made our own chips. being isolationist is good for russia! these are the chips, by the way, that power their new "top of the line" smart tank. the US government seems to find those just as funny as i do their mikrochips, and concluded that the russian government only had the funds to build a few dozen or hundred of 'em, that they had lots of bugs to iron out, and by the time they got into the field, they would be outmatched |

the flip side is this: the russian citizens that can overcome being ten or twenty years behind can only do so by hauling massive amounts of ass. i figure that, if/when they make it to the global economy, their code is generally tight as a duck's butt. butt i'm talking out of my own behind, now, because i'm conflating with... er... the slightly-less soviet era? russians would exchange articles about how to build a line printer from used paper towel tubes and rubber bands because buying a soviet-made printer cost a kidney, and you couldn't order out for a cheap one. lots of ingenuity in there. i feel like russia's citizens succeed more or less in spite of their government rather than because of it. but i suppose the same could be said of america, to a lesser degree |
