I'm from Russia, so I don't need to boycott American corporations myself, American corporations boycott me themselves. :D
It's a joke.
But in reality, I just try to minimize my purchases from multi-billion dollar corporations whenever possible. I prefer buying indie, open-source or custom. Nothing about culture. As others have already said, nowadays American culture is mostly common culture. Sometimes I think about buying a Chinese CPU or GPU. And in general, I have a pretty limited budget.
are the recycled xeons still decent bang for the buck in russia? they are dirt cheap now.
They are still on sale and very cheap in price, but the RAM for them has already gone up in price. Yes it was very good deal for it's money, I have one. Usually I prefer something Coreboot capable, but thats just was very cheap.
