People in Russia can no longer download Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISOs and installation tools from Microsoft, with no reason for the block provided by the company.

Do you think it’s some sort of bug or mistake on their part, or that they’re actively trying to sanction Russia? What’s your opinion on this?

    I mean, Putin was elected. And there are definitely people who still support him. I wouldn’t call that “no fault of their own.”

      Oh yeah. They totally have free elections! It’s not like Putin had his opposition arrested or anything like that. Totally didn’t arrest a bunch of protesters who protested the arrest of the candidate. Those things TOTALLY never happened.

      (They actually happened.)

        Putin was elected to begin with. He does have support, and to paint it otherwise is to be disingenuous.

        Does he do terrible things? Yes! But he still has support.
