「黃家駒 Wong Ka Kui」

If they have fully open source hardware and software/firmware, I actually do not object to it, in fact I’d prefer that regardless of what country made it.

But for context, I was originally born in China, and later immigrated to the us, so I have a higher skepticism of my former country than most westerners have, and its not because I was trying to be an American nationalist or anything like that.

But to be honest, at this point I’m not even that worried about privacy, its kinda near dead even in western democracies and most people dont seem to care, lowkey given up on trying to advocate for it. My biggest fear is actually censorship, and I’m not saying that the west wont attempt to push for more censorship too, but China has a bad rap for censorship, I’m leaning slight for anything thats not China (or russia or their allies). Like anyone really. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, and hopefully a big bloc like EUROPE.

I’m hoping for European tech honestly. Europe pls start investing more in tech and lead the democratic world! 🙏

I have a feeling they’d lock them down and prevent alternate os installs.

Exhibit A: You can easily find bootloader-unlockable phones in the west (Google, Motorola), and in Europe, even some of the Chinese phonese are bootloader unlockable. But in mainland China, bootloader unlocks are being being heavily restricted.

Extrapolating from this behavior, its not hard to see them doing the same in the future for personal computers.

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!
