  • Good point tho small part of the items were legit good due to keep it simple philosophy even if not intentionally. Particularly as you mentioned stuff like razors were very well regarded.

    As for present it’s actually crazy how incapable Russia is at making stuff. As a Russian speaker myself I struggle to come up with any other country with such miniscule presence in actually creating stuff that is not weapons, rockets or dubious software.







  • I’m surprised to see Russia so high up but in all honesty Russia doesnt really export anything but perishables. Even before the war Russian made products were laughable at best and straight up insulting to everyone involved at worst.

    It’s the Soviet’s “build to last” manufacturing thats really carrying this reputation like ak-47 or even small things like meat grinders and razors are regarded as “build to last forever” in post soviet countries by old people.


  • Theres definitely some risk especially in semi-anonymous forums like Lemmy. For example Lemmy.world is blocking VPNs so they know everyone’s IP addresses and given post history etc its very easy to actually identify who’s who. Especially now with AI forensics.

    That being said, as a security expert, I think it’s not always productive for casual people to be obsessed with this and you if you can you should use a VPN or a mobile network which due to how cell towers work is much more anonymous than anything else in practice (datacenter IPs work too as well as TOR but those are blocked in practice)
