  1. That kinda sad, put US China conflict aside, Huawei was one of the highest quality phones makers and really put great efforts into the quality and innovation of it's products, now it's all be gone, one major mobile processor producer will be ceased to exist and thats surely can't be good for the competition from client stand point.

  2. As much as I hate Chinese meddling with things, America isn't any better in this regard with this jerking around who can do what where. Fine, ban Huawei's stuff in America, whatever. But going out of their way to hinder things outside of US borders makes them a**holes.

  3. America is losing the tech game and is trying hard to stay relevant using sanctions. The sad reality for the US is that the new American demographics cohort and depleting high quality immigration intake will render the United States irrelevant in the coming decades in the tech field.

  4. Microsoft Surface Duo renders leak; coming to AT&T

    No worries. I'm sure you'll tout these as "revolutionary" and be first in line to buy them at twice the price when Apple "invents" them in a couple of years...

  5. Microsoft Surface Duo renders leak; coming to AT&T

    Never understood these deals, while I get it's supposed to drive people to certain providers, it must massively limit the uptake of the actual device itself. Last device I bought that was locked to a provider was in the mid 2000's. Caught me out when I went overseas. But now with unlocked devices there's no issue, chuck in a sim and you're good to go. See a better mobile plan? Change providers! Too easy!

  6. While my Huawei phone is not high end, it is still a good phone, I am not happy with Trump at all, i hope come the elections people in the U.S. will kick his backside out of office. i saw somewhere that he said even if you are dying go and vote for him, i don't care if you only have weeks left or something like that. I hope people see him for what he is. he is not fit to run a mile, never mind a country.

    No worries. I'm sure you'll tout these as "revolutionary" and be first in line to buy them at twice the price when Apple "invents" them in a couple of years... I mean, going off Microsoft's past mobile efforts, and seeing how the consumer interested has never really been there, I don't think he's wrong. His opinion must have stuck a nerve because you went after him with a tactic that's more dated than the design of the Surface Duo.

  11. It is quite funny to me how people actually think people who did this support Trump. This was literally a shitpost attack. And weird how it came right after the executive order was sign. A retaliation anyone? Btw, for you lefties, Trump supporters have already moved from Reddit, which makes this attack even funnier.

  12. Exactly. U.S. lost me when they put pressure on the UK to remove Huawei from UK networks, it's now likely that costs will be passed to customers. Things are already expensive enough as it is.

  13. Its not "Americans". Americans got better things to do with their time. This is some "communistic" BS from the clown show in the white house. He'll pull skit like this anytime the media focus is to be on simpleton stories like Tic Tok. Rather than on stories like Deutsche bank finally turning over the clown show's records to the NY DA's office. I hope they do launch a law suit against this.

  14. The site is just a cesspool now. World politics is basically /b/ from the 4chan days. It's like the more moderation they've done, the worse the site has become. It's a weird mindset when you think you can just ban a community and assume they'll just disappear. That's just not how the internet works...

    Get Monster HDMI cables. They are super expensive, but the price is worth it because they use quantum bitcoin machine learning to give you the best picture quality money can buy.

  17. HDMI cables: What am I looking for?

    First, only buy cables like this at monoprice.com. This is where I have bought all my cables and they are all good and always a very good price. Specifications depend on what you're using it for, but for the most part, they all pretty much do the same. For example, this HDMI cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=3992 is high speed and its 15ft length is only $8.79. Never go anywhere else. And in CA and AZ, you will get your products quickly.

  19. It’s leftist cesspool where centrist and even slightly right wing ideas/posts are deleted and posters banned. That is why you see these kinda hacks. r/india is another s******e which actually bans you if you post something Pro-India. Never seem to be able to get anyone to share an example of one of these "right wing ideas" that seem to get censored all over the internet. Is it because you're being deliberately obtuse? Have you heard of the Donald Trump subreddit being banned?

  31. Exactly. U.S. lost me when they put pressure on the UK to remove Huawei from UK networks, it's now likely that costs will be passed to customers. Things are already expensive enough as it is. Except it's not just the US which is where you lose me, when Hong Kong holds protests of 800K+ against Chinese control. Taiwan has complained on numerous fronts, but just this week that China's government is stealing trade secrets from them as well. This is far beyond just Poland catching what they alleged to be a Chinese spy, who happened to be a "former" Huawei employee. You don't have to like America, most Americans don't either, but that has little to do with the complaints lodged with China, on numerous fronts right down to abusing human rights in very much Nazi Germany fashion. Arguing that you don't get your phone for as cheap as you might like because you're not importing goods from a known country abusing their people seems rather ridiculous. We know what china is doing, but to be honest how many other countries have not done the same thing over the years and maybe still doing it? The U.S. have spies, the U.K have spies, so what make us any different in that regard? You have no idea like any of us on here how much technology our countries have stolen from others. My problem with China is the way they treat their own citizens and the lack of democracy, but they are not the only country like it. We don't hate Americans or America , I do think the U.S. have tried to be the police of the world and pushed their agendas to other countries and sadly the U.K. have followed them like puppy dogs. i also think that we in the U.K. have become too Americanised and what identity we have got is starting to fade, the e.u took a lot of it. even my spelling checker is trying to spell Americanised with a Z and it is supposed to be British English. I have heard people saying ZEE instead of ZED. The U.S. is a big country and one of the reason why they are high in technology, but don't forget that country never belonged to you in the first place. As for cheap phones, he was not on about cheap phones, he was on about the network, so cheap broadband or cheaper broadband. It is not cheap in this country, a lot of people are paying about £25-£20 or more a month for home broadband, try it is unlimited, but still a bit expensive, certainly for people who don't have much money. Mobile is worse, i may only pay £7 for mine phone package, but I only get 2GB for that, plus talk time and unlimited text. the mobile provider I use offers an unlimited data service for £20 a month, but that is sim free and you still got to buy a phone and they are one of the cheaper ones. Nothing is different in essence between US and China but the gullible folks from both of these countries see them as infallible as the Pope( o_O ). In China You have state discrimination over minorities and political views, in US You have deeply rooted systemic racism and a farcical political system. The only thing that truly differs is that China is not playing World Police while US have been terrorizing the rest of the world under the umbrella of Human Rights for more than 50 years. This trade war with China is just one more in the line of endless moves to secure domination. This I must say though. US has moved to oppression beyond its capabilities. It is how empires act before the fall. I usually appreciate your posts, but there's too many flaws in here to count. I'm unsure how you can use the term "systemic racism" applying it to the US but not China. China is literally, and according to them, legally detaining people who subscribe to the wrong belief system. They are very much against outsiders too for that matter, which isn't unexpected as even Japan's been known for xenophobia. Also, China very much IS playing world police, as they use and abuse their relationships with other nations by applying pressure to get their way, along with applying direct pressure in territories like Hong Kong to further their influence and power in places where they are very much undesired. Honestly, I'm not forgiving anything the US has done in the past, but look at the president of the United States: what the hell do you expect us to do? Why do you think people are rioting here? Just like those in Hong Kong, we do not agree with the system. I don't know where people start believing the Donald J. Trump of all people is going to somehow fix the US... he's not. But if he, along with other nations as we see with India, decide to take their business elsewhere, then so be it. I'm not about to shed tears for the Chinese government.

  35. Node names don't really mean anything. Intel's 10nm is in the same ballpark as TSMC's 7nm: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/7_nm_lithography_process The problem is, their 10nm node, so far, has also been having problems and not reaching the performance/power level required for high-performing desktop parts. Their only hope at this point is that the upcoming 10nm++ actually works as it should. how is an Intel fan going to push that argument when Intel said they're going to start using other fabs like TSMC...

  36. Share if your Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004) is blocked

    Blocked: I've had an update block before due to a hardware dongle driver, but this computer was more or less a fresh install within the last two months (though using an older installation USB that I made). Given my prior experience, I can understand how a third-party may be responsible for delaying an update (TBH I would have been more ****ed if the update had gone through and then I couldn't use said equipment) but I also think that at least when their own devices are involved MS could be giving their customers more information about why the update is being blocked on the device.

You also got to love the old people, who when signing into Facebook, go to the Facebook website and instead of typing in their info at the top under username and password, they start to fill out the "New account" info at the bottom". Then those same people wonder "What happened to my other account and how did I get this new one"

  41. ""The reason that the firm cites for the move is that less than 0.1% of the email notifications are opened"". So I assume you're of the 0.1 % I don't know what the email's look like, but do you even have to open them, or does the subject line just let you know X person just uploaded a new video? The subject line is like this: "Reol Official just uploaded a video" Honesty I absolutely hate this, being notified about new uploads by E-mail was my main way of knowing if my favourites uploaded a video. I'm going to miss so many videos without this feature Edit: Also these e-mails contain something like this: "You were sent this email because you chose to receive updates from Reol Official. If you don't want these updates anymore, you can unsubscribe here. " so there's no reason not knowing how to turn off these E-mail notifications...

  48. The Tulsa rally was one... Children of govt officials tearing him a new ass is another... But..all in all, it's seriously difficult to file any complaints against another country for a company doing business here, that have no legal strongholds to attack. Microsoft and Google are here, so if they were to create an app that did/does what TikTok did/does.. and the kids used it and slammed his rallies with fake numbers, his head would explode and you would have seen lawsuits flying out the windows of the White House instead of executive orders. Which by the way.. is the ONLY way he's done anything in the 3½ years he's been in D.C. He hasn't passed any laws worthy of mention, because the Senate hasn't done crap about anything. But ... I digress. Yes.. it's personal, and we all know it. He didn't go after that Russian company that created the FaceApp, (and it's EULA was explicit in how it would own anything you put into that app) because no one used it to make him older and uglier than he already is. Nuff said.

    Is it cloud connected to track my whereabouts, suggest safe places to stop/check tires? Will it auto-dial 911 if I'm shot on the side of the road while inflating my tires? Sensors to monitor outside temps and feed me realtime estimates on how long it will take to inflate? How about connecting me with my friends also filling their tires throughout the community? Whats the subscription fee for timely firmware updates? Inflation stats via site portal?
