Honestly, on a purely personal level, the fact that you can, these days, actually sometimes get a Chinese hacker banned within less than an hour by spamming their pms or chat with the winnie the poor bear image and linking them or copy pasting excerpts of accounts of Tienanmen Square is basically both sad and funny to me.
Source?
I mean my computer got destroyed when I was illegally evicted, but there was a time /after/ China started cutting network connections based on keyword/phrase scanning, but /before/ games that could be played internationally started autoremoving such things from their chat so that Chinese players wouldnt be banned.
It didnt happen often, but I do remember a few times it did.
I honestly would love to provide more than just my personal anectode here, but I am quite serious when I say my computer was destroyed when I was evicted.
Well ok, either that, or one of the two corrupt maintenance people that were charging the whole apartment complex 20x the city's actual utility rates by shoving it through an obvious fake scam company based multiple states away... maybe one of them kept it for themselves.
I doubt theyd be able to figure out the boot level password, luks2 encryption password, and my actual user password though.
Probably parted out and sold.
Ok so you're full of shit, thanks for clearing that up
