no one gives a fuk bro.
you mean to say YOU don't give a fuk…..
nah bro no one gives a fuk.
You'll find it's actually not. (well, likely not)
My career is around IT security, and if you actually look into the Huawei controversy, you'll see that it's currently USA anti china scare mongering.
For sure, there is money corruption, I won't defend the company as a whole; but why people have fallen for this a second time I'll never know.
Allow me to recap;
"ZTE IS BANNED, STEALING USA INFORMATION!"
"We're not…."
<insert investigation here>
"…. ZTE… umm… you can sell here again…. we found nothing."
"aww, but you were so CERTAIN before what changed?"
"I made it up…."
a month later?
"HUAWEI! YOU ARE BANNED!"
rinse and repeat.
No chinese tech company is squeaky clean, neither is a USA or AU one, Google mines like a mofo!
However across the industry there has been 0 PROOF that they steal anything.
EVERY request has been met with;
"National Security… we can't tell you exactly"
Gee helpful!
Meanwhile, nerds the world over packet capture their devices EVERY DAY and notice nothing.
I'll happily take my hat off and admit I was wrong if they find anything, but I doubt they will.
The only 'Dodgy Chinese Company' that got very little of a slap on the wrist in terms of mobile phone data theft was OnePlus, and a few Nokia's who were sending NON personal data; but that still breached the new EU data laws.
I'm actually keen to see any hard evidence you know of, I'm not being a smart arse, I need to know, it's my job;
Can you link your sources?
oops, there you did it again. you meant to say YOU and you said no one.
cool story brah
so excited….. is it your first story?
story needs more dragons and potions and shit brah.
Please just link sources with evidence, not speculation; I genuinely want to see the evidence.
@Boertjie: My point exactly.
Your links cement my point.
There is absolutely 0 proof in any of those articles.
As pointed out in one of them;
“The problem: nobody has provided a shred of hard evidence that the company has done anything wrong, raising the question of whether this is glorified protectionism hiding behind the banner of national security.”
The "risk" is that because they're not open source, and are tied to china, 5G networks make Edge devices core devices, this is the first time EVER we've seen consumer technology behave like this.
The concern is that "what IF" there is a kill code in Huawei chips that allow China to "Switch Off America"?
While the concern is real, it's something someone invented one day sitting on the toilet, told Trump, and he went "OMG DANGER! BAN THINGS!"
Concerns in the UK about the same thing are not new; they just got media attention when the USA waved it's arms around.
I'm GENUNINELY not being an ass, I just want a SHRED of PROOF.
You've linked another 3 articles of speculation.
Please, just ONE source that has EVIDIENCE.
What's the next flagship due? Note 10?
Oppo R17 from Allphones has $14.80 shipping cost unless you have eBay Plus membership.
Where does the Mate 20 Pro sit relative to the P20/30 pro in the Huawei line up? Looking at moving from Samsung to Huawei.
The first one's SydneyTec. The second one's Allphones.
