They tried to build a “made in Russia” phone and ended up with a made in China phone that failed.


The level of corruption that exists there goes all the way to the top and prevents success. They’ll do what they’re already doing and submit to Chinese goods and services.

Yep. I mean there was enough corruption to literally stall their war in Ukraine in the early period (one of amusing anecdotes is upper brass swapped Soviet designed tires for Chinese made commercial stuff not designed for the purpose and pocketed the monetary difference).

if anyone thinks this would go any other way but Soulja Boy route and rebrand random Chinese emulation consoles is kidding themselves.

They are just Gona put a PC on a fancy box and fill it with emulators of the existing ones...
...and most likely include roms as well... ...Involuntary obviously...

Russia will become Northern China. At least metaphorically for the time being...

At the unveiling of the new Russian games console, one rival platform fanboy dismissed the console by calling it “GayStation”.
“Don’t be ridiculous - there are no gays in Russia” replied Putin.
 
Making hardware is one thing, who's going to make the software? Just put a Linux PC in a box and you're set. Maybe hire a few hackers to rip PC games.
It's only one thing when buying stuff from Taiwanese manufacturers. I still agree about the software part though.

The thing that shock me most is everyone boycotted Russia (rightfully so), but nobody boycotted Israel. This just show how this world is totally Fucked up.

Baikal Electronics, one of Russia's major processor developers, has been struggling in the wake of sanctions imposed by the US and UK governments following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Until then, the company ordered the production of chips, including their packaging, from TSMC.

The Taiwan-based chipmaker promptly stopped shipping processors that year because of the sanctions. The sanctions also blocked the Russian company from licensing Arm technology. Baikal, which switched from the Baikal-T series MIPS instruction set architecture to Arm years ago, used the technology in its Baikal-M, -S, and -L series chips.
By 2030, the country's goal is to manufacture chips using a 28nm process technology – something TSMC did in 2011.
