ch4ck··on Fake news ‘as a service’ booming among cybercrooks
Q: Is it true that Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov from Moscow won a car in a lottery?

A: In principle yes, but: it wasn't Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov but Aleksander Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov; he is not from Moscow but from Odessa; it was not a car but a bicycle; he didn't win it, but it was stolen from him.

ch4ck··on When the Soviet Union Paid Pepsi in Warships
There was no problem whatsoever with buying such things like bread or local fruit. Why? Because a great share of those was produced by private entrepreneurs and had the price set by an almost free market.

Actually you can have a look at the statistical data and you will see that there were more pigs, cows, milk etc. then than now.

The problem was with many products manufactured by the collectively/state owned enterprises, because the prices were set artificially low centrally. That caused lack of balance in the market. Of course you could buy those products paying market prices to the private entrepreneurs (called speculators by the government) in the free market (called gray or black market by the government).

And I can assure you that Pepsi was sold in regular (not Pewex or Baltona) stores and those stores were state owned or controlled by the state (cooperatives) because private stores were almost nonexistent.

ch4ck··on When the Soviet Union Paid Pepsi in Warships
I was born in "the Eastern bloc" and Pepsi (Pepsi-Cola, Mirinda) was present in stores in my region. One could buy Coke too but its availability was limited.

ch4ck··on Intel Issues Updates to Protect Systems from Security Exploits
That's like if Master Lock claimed it wasn't a production issue in Master locks, it was an issue that affected any lock that was designed like Master locks. It's a bunch of bullshit trying to dance around the fact that Master Lock shipped faulty products for years. The fact that other similar products may also be faulty isn't a valid excuse.
ch4ck··on Intel Issues Updates to Protect Systems from Security Exploits
So people can leverage the shitty design of your lock to steal goods? And it's okay because the lock is functioning as it should? It shows how deeply embedded the idea of maintaining proper design and processes is over, going back to the drawing board and designing a secure lock.

ch4ck··on Inside VW’s Campaign of Trickery
To decrease NOx emissions the engine temperature has to be decreased which is equal to lower engine efficiency. It means more fuel consumption and more COx emissions.

When will CO2 obsessed bureaucrats begin to care about fine particles emitted by gasoline direct injection engines?
