    Personally, I would rather hack it, copy/paste, and talk to whoever would be willing to communicate with me about it in English. I said niche interest, but that wasn’t about the time I’m willing to sink into a given project. Learning Russian would be investing months to save hours from an electronics perspective.

    Rather let my desire to travel and communicate with a given group of people in person dictate what languages I might study and in what order.

      As I said, it’s not about learning Russian. There are tons of translation tools these days and time is of the essence (most of the time). No one has the time to learn how to hack these forums (unless you have an exploit tested and ready to go).

        What on God’s Green Earth are you talking about? I hack electronics. Okay, mostly, I fix them, but I thought this community was about electronics. I said in my first comment I would enjoy completing this captcha, so why would I hack the forum that supposedly uses it?

        Is “these forums” the name for some cool new russian tamagotchi clone or soviet calculator clone or digital slavick bird call? Then, for hacking purposes, you might have caught my interest. Still wouldn’t learn the language though. Yes, I was already well aware that translators can generally handle cyrillic.

          Oh, sorry, I completely misunderstood you, my bad 😔. With “hack it” I understood “hack the forum”, not the captcha.

            Don’t apologize. You’re the one-in-ten, at best, that my “list of random bullshit”-approach had the intended effect on. I appreciate you.
