Our leaders could've done a much better job, if they just played Advance-Wars.

The ideal strategy is to just build lots of infantry and mech-inf unit at $1000 and $3000, instead of the expensive units like tanks.

That's what ireen7o is doin' , low cost volume, expensive units are useless because it's all the fleshbags that MAN equipment, thus having identical vulnerabilities.

Why did we start making alot of planes out of WOOD in the real wars, because it doesn't make sense to use steel if the planes really only get to shoot a few times, and it's been proven that air-power during major wars do very little.

Honestly, there is some suspect, that SOMEONE, did their homework (battle plan), with an LLM, and just sent it.

U no, for almost 2 decades, it's been 100% confirmed that aircraft carriers are almost completely useless is future wars.

Now, in Today's Special Military Operation, 1000% confirmed, but what difference does it make, we already spent all the damn money on it.

If you think about all the money we spent on the carriers, and put it into missiles instead, we wouldn't be in this extremely-DIRE situation.

Missiles are not just the end product,

You need entire Industrial backbones to mine, smelt, transport, make steel, stamps, tubes, robotic welding.

Which we gave up, because it was easier to just run money printers, and watch Stonks Go-Up. Recycling petro$dollars.

Our contractors system, Did you know, alot of our very expensive + poorly designed interceptors ARE HAND MADE?

THAT'S INSANITY, but why's it like this, why do we hand make any of this stuff. Capitalism $$$$. To make them as expensive as possible because the profit is CAPPED as a $Percentage of the price of the product.

Of interest.

The thermalright budget argb fans, the Forward version has 8 leds in the hub, but the "Reverse" blade version has 9 leds.

The big 14mm fans also have 9 leds.

Whuddupwith that??

The New arctic pro 140mms have 12 leds, and they're alot brighter leds, which indicate a much stronger driver chip.
-Drawback, a HUGE fan hub (bad), vs thermalright's very small hub.

DOES that justify the price pitch vs the thermalright. $33 vs $18.

You can kinda make a case for it, buhhhhhhhh in practical application, one would say no.

Conditions:

If they're in view, you don't run the LEDs at max power for daily use, they're very distracting and seer into your peripheral vision at peak brightness.

If they are out of view, then who cares how bright they are.

The color gamut is wider on the p14 pro, so the dope on the led itself is better, YES, but, BECAUSE of the way additive lighting works, that somewhat slight extended gamut isn't really realized, as ambient light pollutes the perceived purity of the final color, so it naturally desaturates, despite its innate ability,

FOR EXAMPLE, if you set the fans to RED, and turn all the lights out, they will look red. But if there is any ambient light, they actually look mostly orange, or in extreme case Yellow.

So... Even if they doped it with the best Quantum juice, the perceived gamut is a sliver of innate capacity.
