At first glance I thought the story was going to be Putin illegally voting in US midterms to give backing to Trump's efforts to undermine them. One autocrat doing a solid for another. Trump could probably get Dell or even Tim Apple to hook up a new 'puter for the Putin'.
John Apple, now. Bruh, I'm old...
I feel you.. my first home computer was an Apple ][
He cast one vote to the Russian elections and same time a few million to upcoming American elections. And he gets to push the button as many times as he likes.
Kremlin need to step up their game and use linux.
right? . Like wtf don't they?
Lol, the funny thing is if they had any money left, they could have made a comedic/serious show-off video of him voting on like the war strategy wall sized projected computer with a clicker instead of showing him struggling to see the screen and struggling to move the mouse.
Thinking about the videos he tends to put out about himself, and that he signed off on this one, just shows it's the best they could do to make him seem manly and powerful now.
His Windows being unlicensed makes perfect sense. Why would he give money to Microsoft? In fact, why would you?
As for the PC - there are no Russian PCs, so he has to use something foreign. DELLs are very solid, and great for the price if you get them refurbished.
Not as solid as Lenovo, which also has considerably fewer American companies in its supply chain. But maybe they just got a good deal on a bunch of DELLs.
