    Just like with cars, they will work hard to turn this into a viable alternative within a short timeframe. Once a Chinese laptop running Linux on ARM at comparable performance but half the cost of an american one hits store shelves, it’ll be game over.

      Who doesnt want an “anti fraud” app running on your devices all the time. Daddy Xi really wants to protect all his beloved children from the evil foreign “scams” by actively monitoring looking out for all under his reign protection!

          I agree with you, being skeptical without proof is healthy. But given that most stuff is made in China and then imported from, its not far fetched to believe this being possible. And this is not something where Ai could have done slop work for them (I hope not).

          I tend to believe this being true, but I’m worried about price to performance, and compatibility. Well, I’m not worried for myself though…

        Probably you meant “harmless”, because there is no reason to call the person “armless”.
