I mean, back then? Hell, yeah... But at this point I'd only expect a weird shoehorned story with some of the old actors a la Picard and I think I can live without that

Great. Now what? Nobodies gonna put sanctions on China over this, although it gives Russia basically unlimited supply. China already stated they don't want Russia to lose, so they're not gonna stop by themselves.

If only

Because the west has nothing but cost to gain from drawing this out any more. Russias military has already been demolished, reduced to using drones and rockets. At this point it would make more sense to end this with a win and strenghten Ukraine against further russian aggression. It would still allow for increased military spending, and all the other stuff they want to do.

Although the west certainly could do more to enable a Ukrainian victory, I don't see their motivation as being the same as Chinas.

Sadly the german fansubbing scene basically evaporated when simulcast became a thing. 15 years ago you got some amazing subs, with signs translated (even when moving through the screen) and cultural information shown when it was needed to understand a scene or joke

That's the nuance. They "don't want to see them lose" doesn't mean they need to win, China probably just likes the destabilizing effect it has on the area. So they prop them up just enough to keep them going.

We need a plague

Right? I'm gonna start practicing my queen waving right now

An Intel CPU with quicksync is the better and way more energy efficient solution for transcoding. A regular 8th gen+ i7 can handle multiple 4k transcodes
