    If that’s the case then they need stronger sanctions. 
    Reminds me of an old Soviet joke. A son comes to his drank dad and asks how much does vodka cost.
    – 3 rubles a bottle, son
    – dad, would you drink less if it would cost 5 rubles?
    – no, son
    – and if it would cost 10 rubles?
    – nope
    – and if 25??
    – no, son, but you would eat less

     Sanctions in their current form won’t work.

    Names, please. Who are (were) those some?

    They seem to “fall ill” and die. :'(  Sanctions help. Have fun with those janky North Korean armaments, Vald. Maybe you’d better retreat to your Moscow Shangri-La before winter strikes.

    That counts for one. One isn’t ’some’. You say ‘some’, another says ‘a number of’, and in no time you read ‘many’ in the news. So, please try to keep your critical thinking ‘always on’.

    An iPhone is the only means of access to factual information and vital services in totalitarian nations like Russia.
    1. How’s that? The only means of access to factual information is a VPN service. I personally see no difference in using VPN on either iPhone or Android (and I have both).

    2. Vital services in everyday use are, for example, banking apps. They are gone from both AppStore and Google Play, but on Android I can side load such an app and use it easily. Actually, it’s the first time when I personally find Android’s ‘freedom’ beneficial in practice.

    3. There will be no revolution in Russia. Over 50% of the population support the ‘military operation’ in Ukraine. Surprise!

    If you don't need the capabilities of the Apple TV then simply buy a TV with streaming built in instead of adding a stick.
    Oh man. What if I already have a TV? Should I really throw out the whole thing? Or still buy a stick?
