Civilian telecoms are absolutely used in military UAVs. Ukraine and Russia both use their opponents SIM cards in long range strike drones. And I’m pretty sure that attack vector would work well anywhere, including the US.
The Soviet and now post-soviet "tushenka" is 100% derived from American WW2 spam. But I think it actually tastes better, try some if you have an Eastern European store around.
> Ultimately what you're implicitly suggesting is to surrender to the aggressor, but that's not going to happen. Even if the West stops support, Kyiv is conquered, there will be guerilla war for years to come.
That's what everyone thought at the beginning of this war. Unfortunately, I think the lack of a massive guerilla movement in the occupied territories disproves this theory. Russian brutality and torture is very effective at fighting guerilla movements.
The Russian invasion needs to be beaten back on the field! Please, vote for candidates that support Ukraine.
If you're from Canada your best bet is to get an engineering degree and to land a job with a startup. Look into the TN Visa for Canadians. There are no limits on application numbers and they're very easy to get (if you have a qualifying degree).
Since you mention Western animation and Netflix. Have you seen Blue Eyed Samurai?
Amazing show and it has a beautiful style that looks like it's hand drawn and Japanese, but it's actually French made CGI. I suspect that even this industry can be disrupted by technology.
The French have their own thing going on. Fortiche and Blue Spirit are making some of the most beautiful animations we have seen in western TV series. They draw from a rich heritage of art and comics.
