@purism i looked at the 13 and 15. In general they look like solid machines. Watched the youtube unboxing and review, pretty good. The only problem really is that it only has an Intel graphics chipset.
For 3D Mechanical CAD work i typically do using Linux Mint and a windows VM, the GPU is going to be my bottleneck.
Really nice hardware for a netbook though. Of course, if the idea was to make a netbook running Gnome3 probably an ARM CPU would have been cheaper.

@purism yes, but when will you actually ship these things?
Most people don't want to wait 6 months to get their hardware, ...and another 5 on top of that until the hardware works well enough to be an actual daily phone.
I'm told the battery life kinda sucks too. $700 USD is kinda steep for that as well.

@Antanicus i guess the next step is to bring back the 3.5mm headphone jack and use it as a recharge port for the airpods. OH wait, then why do they need to be wireless again?
*facepalm*

protecting IP from the chinese factories is not too difficult. Firstly you can't tell them what the PCB is, or what it does. give a highly obfuscated silk screen to them with basically no useful information on it other than what a PickNPlace machine needed ot be able to populate it with components. On top of that, if you have a MCU on it, you can give them a default factory diagnostics firmware, not the firmware which actually does the functions of the product.@mdszy@mastodon.technology

i'm curious why he had a phone with sensitive information and access on it outside of his place of work in the first place. what an idiot.@dontai

Simon Cheng, ex UK Embassy staff, abducted in Shenzhen, administrative detention (disappeared for 3 weeks) in China, now says he was tortured, forced to give up phone password, exposing UK Embassy documents to the CCP.

Torture is commonly used in #China to gain confession. There are many documented examples. Cheng is a #HK citizen, considered Chinese under CCP law.

Now in hiding, not in HK, Cheng is outside of CCP reach. I hope he will recover from this ordeal.

@tictoc suicide rates for them are down because they're being murdered by Migrants. Can't kill yourself (or even attempt) if you're already dead.
