Re: @ fruitoftheloon @Charles Manning: Net anarchist?
True, but presumably you don't put your white spirit/meths/cellulose thinners into coke bottles and leave then in school playgrounds to see what happens?
Maybe he should be doing that, but that would be littering.
So is leaving only USB sticks around, only something that could get lost in the laundry is more innocuous than bottles.

Russia plays well with China and would do well to co-lead with them. Both Russia and China are projecting military power within their spheres of influence.
China has had more success in punishing Western tech companies like Qualcomm and Google, since everyone wants a piece of that market. Russia's data localization laws could help it to get a grip on these companies. Russia has indeed followed the EU's lead and taken on Google:

The highest capacity MicroSD cards are 200 GB from SanDisk, and an announced but impossible to find 512 GB MicroSD card from Microdia. Full-sized SD cards haven't reached 1 terabyte as far as I know, just 512 GB.
So the odds are not good that 2TB MicroSD cards will be pretty cheap or exist in six months time.
